PackFlow™

The PackFlow™ turn divide system has been designed to solve an array of current challenges such as handling newer pack formats at higher speeds, reducing slippage on new clip design packs, and transfers on small can/bottle packs, all with touchless changeover. 

PackFlow is compatible with a variety of our machinery systems including the Marksman™ and QuikFlex™ portfolios, and clip and basket machinery lines.  

It features a continuous conveyor with no internal transfers making it a highly efficient machine. It also has precise turning and laning that is repeatable to less than 1 degree on turn and 3mm on divide placements.
