This Smartmove® box filler conveyor combines many advanced features into one system to automate item counting, singulation and indexing. The system allows the operator to program the counter with a preset amount. In this example, the photo sensor eye stops the conveyor after 20 items are deposited into the box. The lower conveyor sensor then moves the filled box away and pushes another empty box into position. The upper conveyor then re starts until another 20 items are dispensed. Note the placement of guides on the upper conveyor that channel items into a straight, single file line for dispensation:
