Bring Your Operation Back to Life with Dead Plate–free Tight Transfers

Have you ever wondered if there’s a better way to handle transfers on your lines? If there’s a method that doesn’t rely on outdated practices because “that’s how it’s always been done?” If so, you’re not alone.

Dead plates and side-by-side transfers have long been fixtures in conveyor systems. But times are changing. Instead of patching up issues with temporary solutions, consider a more proactive approach.

Let’s explore a fresh perspective on transfer technology—one that prioritizes efficiency, innovation, and practicality.

Committed to Dead Plate–free Technology

Intralox has been at the forefront of dead plate–free technology for years. Combining Series 1000 and 2300 radius belting with Dynamic Nose-Rollers was our first step toward optimizing belt performance. This solution increases accumulation, improves product handling, and standardizes parts.

We’ve helped customers around the world and across industries achieve:

Improved glass bottle handling

• 0 scraped products caused by dead plate impact
• 87% fewer customer complaints due to dead plate impact

Increased efficiency

• 25–50% greater accumulation because packages can run long-side leading

Better conveyor life

• 25–50% slower speeds because packages can run long-side leading

Cost savings on unnecessary equipment

• 40–50% returned roller savings compared to conventional modular plastic belting (MPB) technologies

Dedicated to Improving Operations 

Though side-by-side transfers can eliminate dead plates, they also introduce new challenges: larger footprint, potential product damage, and alignment issues with railings that guide product direction. But Intralox Tight Transfer technology eliminates both dead plates and these problems. By enabling in-line and end-to-end conveyance with our solutions, you can experience several key benefits: 

• Space efficiency: Our S570 Tight Transfer belting plus the preassembled Nosebar Transfer Unit minimize gaps and ensure smooth transitions. 
• No more guide rails: Our touchless system operates without railings, ensuring products move as intended without damage. 
• Reduced labor risk: Fewer skilled labor requirements minimize the risk of operator interference. 
• Simplified layouts: Smaller footprints allow more efficient layouts, creating space for other operations. 
• Cost savings: No dead plates means fewer product jams and less damage, ultimately improving overall line efficiency.

Back to Life, Back to Reality 

It’s time to prioritize the future of your operations. Consider making the switch to Intralox Tight Transfer technology. Efficiency, reliability, and innovation await. What will you do?
