CATCH TRAY

The Catch Tray can be used to catch and accumulate a stack of products. A Photo Optic Start Sensor can be mounted in the bottom of the tray to signal the feeder to replenish the tray once a stack is removed. The stack can be removed by hand by an operator or it can be gently combed off the tray by flight from a flighted conveyor or wrapping machine for an Automatic System.

There are three different families of Catch Trays:

1. CT Series: CT 350 E, CT 450 E and CT 550 E series. These trays are approximately 2" deep for catching and accumulating a small stack of products.

2. SMCT Series: The Side Mount Catch Tray series allows the feed product into this tray from the side. A flight from a wrapping machine of collating machine can gently comb the stack from the tray from the side or an operator can also remove a stack from the tray by hand. A Photo Optic Start Sensor can be mounted in the tray to signal to feeder to replenish the tray once a stack is removed by the flight or by an operator.

3. IMCT Series: The IMCT Series Catch Trays are adjustable Depth and Width Catch Trays (up to 175mm (7" deep) that allow the feeder to feed the product in line. A flight from a wrapping machine or collating machine can gently comb the stack from the tray in line or an operator can also remove a stack from the tray by hand. A Photo Optic Start Sensor can be mounted in the tray to signal to feeder to replenish the tray once a stack is removed by the flight or by an operator.
