Meet the new standard in transfers for empty can conveyance: the Intralox Series 570 Tight Transfer system. With this technology, can manufacturers reduce can tipping, stranding, jams, and spoilage while improving accumulation and line reliability. It enables faster label changes, requires less maintenance, and minimizes the risk of mixed-label pallets.
Why You Should Eliminate Dead Plate Transfers
Dead plate transfers are unpredictable—cans often get stuck and stranded on the plates, resulting in damaged products and time-consuming jams. Jams create downtime and require manual labor to clear the line. This introduces the additional risk of mixed-label pallets: a stranded can could be overlooked during label changeover and filled with the wrong product. Dead plates also require skilled technicians for installation, frequent adjustments, and ongoing maintenance. Luckily, a better solution exists.
How Does Our Tight Transfer System Work?
S570 Tight Transfer belting pairs with the Intralox nosebar transfer unit. This combination is precision-engineered to achieve the smallest possible gap between end-to-end conveyors, eliminating the need for dead plates. For corners, we’ve designed an elegant end off/side on conveyor system that increases throughput while reducing back pressure on empty cans.
