LM Group s.p.a. - LM Group Channeliser

• Channelising products into single file for subsequent processing or packaging.
• Dividing a single product line into multiple lanes for increased throughput or sorting.
• Rejecting out-of-spec products from a main conveyor line.
• Guiding products into specific orientations or positions on a conveyor.

Typical throughput

For this class of channeliser, throughput can typically range from 50 to 300 items per minute, depending on product size and system configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Footprint

The footprint of channelisers varies significantly, but typically requires several metres of conveyor line length to effectively guide products.

Construction materials

Commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, particularly in food and pharmaceutical environments.

Product compatibility

Suitable for a wide range of packaged or stable unpackaged products, typically within a specific weight and dimension range for optimal performance.

Control system

Units often feature integrated PLC control for precise channelising and line-dividing operations.

• What is the primary function of a channeliser?

  A channeliser's primary function is to organise products from a wider, less organised flow into one or more narrower, more defined lanes or a single file for subsequent processing.

• Can this unit handle different product sizes?

• Is this suitable for washdown environments?

• What kind of maintenance does a channeliser typically require?

• How does a channeliser integrate into an existing conveyor line?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
