Multi-Conveyor recently built a compression conveyor to move corrugated cases smoothly past the customer’s ink labelers and/or printers to ensure precision coding and marking. A compression conveyor maintains the corrugated boxes in position while continuously applying mild pressure as they are moved past the case identification processes of the application.

A simple hand crank using hydraulic lift cylinders can be incorporated to easily raise or lower the upper belt into position, thereby allowing for varying height and size packages to pass through the compression conveyor successfully.

Other features and benefits of the conveyor include the following:

• Adjustable compression height

• Quick-release belting

• Variable speed

• Closed top construction

• Roller return

• No guiderails required

By “compressing” the case from above onto the smooth running conveyor below, the printer heads can print complete data, including company logo, product logo, bar coding, and branding, with quality and clarity onto the moving cases.
