Horizontal flow packaging · Automatic Distribution System
Automatic Distribution System (ADS)
Product flow, under control. Distribution modules connect upstream production with horizontal wrapping.
ADS | Biscuit System: multi-lane distribution and transfer to several flow wrappers.
Overview
About the Automatic Distribution System (ADS)
When the output of an oven or production line is higher than one wrapper can take, or the products must reach the wrapper without hand work, the Automatic Distribution System (ADS) takes over. It is built in a modular structure: after entering the system, products are directed and led from the production line to the packaging machines connected to it. Servo motors and asynchronous motors let Protrus design, optimize and automate each system around the physical properties of the product (stickiness, softness, fragility), the width of the production line and the line layout. The connected flow wrappers, such as the E-Motion Magazine Feeding, Twinline or Silver, are then fed at high speed without interruption.

ADS Configurations
ADS | Biscuit System. Multi-lane distribution and transfer: biscuits leave the oven or cooling belt in rows and are divided, aligned and sent to one or more wrappers.
ADS | Pro. Automatic distribution module for integration within a product handling line, with buffer belts that bridge short stops of a wrapper.
ADS | Module 1. Conveyor transfer module for product flow between equipment stages.
Corners and turns. 45° and 90° transfer modules and curved belts route the product flow around the factory layout.
