GAPmaster™ Conveyor

Product gaps are created through speed changes from the first to second belt on TGW-ERMANCO'S GAPmaster conveyor. Stopping the belt causes product to accumulate on the NBA™23. Precision starting and stopping allows the gap to match operation requirements downstream or meter products individually into a vertical conveyor, scale, strapper, transfer, sawtooth merge, sortation system or a pick zone module. It is driven by the same belt that drives the adjacent NBA23, which means it requires no additional motor, clutch brake, controls, wiring, or associated maintenance for significant cost savings.

Ideal Applications
Horizontal transportation or change of elevation by incline or decline; as a braking surface to initiate accumulation; for gapping, metering, or indexing; or conveying small or odd-shaped items.
