When very large containers need to be filled, or when containers need to be filled a section at a time to allow parts time to cool and stabilize before more parts are placed on top, this 4-station parts diverting system could be an excellent choice in lieu of a traditional box-filling system.
The unit is designed to operate on a cycle count signal from the injection mold machine. Pneumatic driven diverters channel parts into containers placed beneath each diverting station.

How does it work?

• Parts are fed onto the conveyor.
• The first diverter is opened and diverts a pre-determined cycle-count into the first box.
• Once that count is met, the diverter is closed and the second diverter is opened.
• Parts move to the second diverter and are channeled into the second box.
• The 3rd and 4th boxes are then filled (the final fill-station is at the end of the conveyor).
• After the 4th box is filled the cycle repeats as many times as necessary to fill each container.
Note: Since the control system uses a PLC, other sequences can easily be programmed to fit your application.
