2-Lane or 4-Lane Sandwich Cookie & Cracker Distribution System

Benchmark's Automatic Sandwich Cookie Tray Loader (ATL) delivers precise slug loading from the discharge of a 2-lane or 4-lane cookie, cracker, or other sandwiching machine and automatically loads the slugs into trays. This servo-driven machine enables slug length changes via HMI, eliminating the time-consuming changeover process associated with replacing the overhead slug transfer chains. Changeovers for most slug lengths can be completed by a single operator in less than 10 minutes, making it efficient for high-speed operations.

Benchmark’s InFlight automatic infeeds automate product loading into horizontal wrappers or cartoners, ensuring a continuous product flow. The automatic tray loaders handle various tray sizes, enhancing productivity and profitability. Moreover, our systems, including the InFlight FT loader, arrange randomly spaced products with consistent gaps, ensuring efficient processing.

Ergonomically designed turnkey distribution systems cater to baked goods, bars, cookies, crackers, and frozen foods. Product mergers combine lanes of randomly spaced products into a single lane without collision, while divergers distribute products from a single lane to multiple lanes. Custom-designed conveyors provide gentle handling of delicate products, ensuring quality.

Vibratory distribution applications buffer and rotate products for proper positioning before slug loading.
