Servo Mergers, Collators, Metering Belts & Sweeps
Servo Solutions for Product Position and Speed Control
In the product and material handling equipment industry, servo technology provides highly accurate position and speed control on conveyor systems. Through merging, reorientation, metering, and packing operations, servo provides innovative technology to improve any production line.
Sweeps
Overhead Sweep
The Overhead Sweep uses servo technology to rotate products 180° at speeds up to 175 products per minute. Designed for high-throughput systems, it creates product slugs and merges them downstream for a total throughput of up to 250 products per minute.
Servo Sweep
Designed with servo technology, the Servo Sweep provides high-speed 90° single product reorientation with a compact footprint. Known for its reliability and efficiency, it offers a high transfer rate and integrates easily into plant layouts.
Enables 90° transfer from one-lane infeed to two-lane discharge
Ideal for cartons, trays, and overwrapped products
Available for cold room conveying
Compact design compared to other reorientation devices
The Servo Collator can align and present up to 45 product groups per minute for high-speed packaging operations.
Collators
High speed collation of packages can be accomplished with Nercon’s Servo Collator. The dual servo drive arrangement can take multiple lanes of packages and present an aligned group for collation. The Servo Collator is normally located before bundlers, tray packers and shrink-wrapping equipment. This unit has been used to collate bundles of cereal, snacks and soft drinks. Depending on the required configuration, the unit can present cartons straight on, or turn the cartons 90 degrees. The normal rate is 45 groups per minute, depending on the size of the product or package. The servo collator can present packages or products in groups for multi-SKU case packing operations.

Timing Belts
Servo driven timing belts allow for zero contact metering of product. Servo-controlled conveyors provide an evenly spaced product flow. Speed merges are programmable up to 200 products per minute depending on the product or package.
Typical applications for Servo Belts include:
Spacing products between wrapping and sleeving equipment
Merging products at high speeds
Combining products at high speeds
Spacing products to travel under a labeler
Positive spacing into puck inserting equipment
Best use applications for servo belts are low profile packages in high volume production environments. Trays, pouches, cartons and low-height bulk products are favored package types that remain their integrity for the inertia and speeds possible with servo technology.
Applications for Servo Mergers, Collators, Metering Belts & Sweeps
- Bundles
- Boxes
- Cartons
- Pouches
Servo Lane Merge
The laning merge system accepts pouches and both raw and packaged food from an upstream conveying system. The benefit of this merging conveyor system is to capture randomly spaced products and automatically meter them into a single controlled line. The Servo-controlled system identifies the position and sets up the required timing to release products, so they end up in a single lane without causing any jams.
The standard lane merges are built as:
- 4-to-1
- 3-to-1
- 2-to-1
