VC-500 Collator
The VC-500 is a two-axis vertical collator designed to position and group products at speeds up to 800 ppm for loading into cartons, trays, and cases. The VC-500 provides continuous motion infeed for multipack packaging or cartoning. Completely toolless changeover allows for quick configuration changes.
