Indexing elevators

Indexing elevators are unique in design and function. Indexing conveyors are timed to accept a certain amount of product in each bucket, and then discharge product in a packaging machine. For example, accepting a set of game pieces that are to be packaged and included in each end users’ board game (red piece, yellow piece, green piece, and blue piece, then one dice) and elevating them into a packaging machine, discharging the pieces every 1.5 seconds – which is based on the time needed by the feeding device and the packaging machine. Model C configurations are used in the indexing design.
