Clamshell Drop

DESIGNING CARTON HANDLING SOLUTIONS SINCE 1973

  The Clamshell Drop drops corrugated cartons one at a time from above.  It is ideal for applications where space is limited.  The Clamshell Drops shown in these pictures are delivering cartons to a Six Brand Feed system.  The clamshells are hinged and they are seated on ledges.  When a signal comes from below the ledges kick out and the clamshells hinge down, delivering a carton.  The carton behind the one dropping is held back with a clamp.  The Clamshell Drop cycles surprisingly fast.  They are capable of running in excess of 600 cartons/hour.
