Automatic Centering System

It is used together with conveyors and other line equipment. See complete examples in our automated packaging lines.

Full specifications, layout drawings and options are in the product catalogue.

Where it is used

The automatic centering system aligns each product in the middle of the conveyor before it enters the next machine. Correct centring helps wrapping, taping and closing machines work accurately and keeps products from running off-line.

Before orbital wrapping rings

A product that enters the ring off-centre gets uneven film coverage; centring it first gives the same wrap on both sides.

Before tape banding and box closing

Boxes centred on the conveyor are banded or closed in the right position every time.

Mixed product widths

When products of different widths follow each other, automatic centring removes the need to adjust guides by hand.

How it fits into a packaging line

The centering system sits on the infeed side of a machine, between the incoming conveyor and the wrapping or closing unit. Side pressers move in from both sides and bring the product to the centre line, then release it so it can travel on.

It is used with motorised conveyors and, in many lines, together with buffering tables and lifters so that products arrive at each station in the right position and at the right time.

Line examples

Edda line equipment is used in complete systems such as the Speedwrap Profiline, Heavy Duty Lines, Spinner 1800 Sofa Line and Spinner 2200 S Pallet. Each line is engineered around the customer’s products, output and layout, and the equipment is built to match.

What to tell us

• The product range: smallest and largest dimensions and the heaviest product.
• The machines before and after this station.
• Line speed and products per hour.
• Working height and available floor space.
• Power and compressed air available on site.

Service and support

Line equipment is installed together with the machines it serves, by Edda and its local distributors, with remote support from our engineers in Bursa, Türkiye.

Frequently asked questions

Is it made to measure?

Yes. Length, width and working height are built to suit your products and the Edda machine or line it connects to.

Can it be added to an existing line later?

Usually yes. Send us a sketch of your line and the product range, and our engineers will check the connection.

Does it work with different product widths?

Yes. That is its main purpose: products of different widths are brought to the centre line automatically.

Who installs the equipment?

Edda and its local distributors install line equipment together with the machines it serves.

Is the equipment matched to Edda machines?

Yes. Working height, width and connection points are designed for the Edda machine or line it connects to.

Why the equipment around a machine matters

The output of a packaging line is set by its slowest step, and that step is often not the wrapping machine itself but the handling around it: loading, aligning, transferring, waiting and unloading. Well-chosen line equipment removes these small delays and the manual lifting that comes with them.

• Steadier flow: products arrive at each machine in the right position and at the right time.
• Less manual handling: operators guide and supervise instead of lifting and pushing.
• Fewer stops: short pauses at one station no longer stop the whole line.
• Better packing quality: products enter wrapping and closing machines straight and centred.
