The compression section isolates the backpressure. In this application, the compression section is required to withstand over 30 feet of backpressure from incoming product.

A sophisticated (yet robust) sensing system monitors the number of trays between the compression belts and the downstream machine. This is a real-time dynamic sensing system that keeps track of the product count whether it is in motion or stationary.

The feedback from the sensor is used to adjust the feed rate from the compression section. This closed loop, real-time control scheme maintains the desired back pressure feeding the downstream machine by maintaining the appropriate product count in the queue.

The control scheme is elegant in its simplicity allowing the cost for an iQueue™ system to be surprisingly low. Give us a call to discuss how this might improve your line efficiency.
