The MTF Multi-Linea recirculating buffer system is a high-performance solution for the automatic filling and buffering of containers such as bags, cartons, or boxes – even in the tightest of spaces. It is used wherever a continuous and precise transfer of parts is required, for example, to decouple production and packaging processes or to bridge gaps between shifts. The compact design allows for optimal space utilization, even in confined areas.
A central component of the system is a control unit that evaluates machine impulses and thus ensures the precise filling of the respective containers.
The Multi-Linea can be flexibly integrated into existing production lines and becomes an important link in the internal logistics chain. The system is versatile: In addition to the classic application with boxes or cartons, the Multi-Linea can also be equipped with specific bag holders – for example, in a cleanroom version with stainless steel components and FDA-compliant clamping devices. Pneumatically movable quality control sample bags can even be integrated into special designs, which are filled during the ongoing process. The control technology also offers maximum adaptability: In addition to precise filling, special functions such as double pre-feeding and interface communication can be implemented. Various operating modes are available – such as counting mode or a time-controlled mode. Depending on the control system used, environmental conditions, and customer specifications, special safety devices such as contact strips to eliminate pinch points or emergency stop pull cords, etc., can also be integrated. Visualization of operating states using signal lights, monitoring of container fill levels using sensors, etc., is also possible upon request. In practice, the system can handle a wide variety of tasks. For example, in systems that produce right and left parts simultaneously, a separate box can be filled for each side. Depending on the settings, the system then advances by two positions either after reaching the target quantity or after a predefined time. If only one type of product is being produced, the system advances only one position accordingly. The Multi-Linea also impresses with its modular design: length, width, geometry, working height, as well as the number, size, and type of container holders are individually tailored to the specific application. The Multi-Linea circulating buffer system thus stands for maximum flexibility, sophisticated functionality, and reliable automation of your internal container logistics – ideal for a wide variety of applications and industries.
