Bring It All Together, Smartly
Automate product merging from multiple infeeds using pegs instead of rails
Hygienic merging conveyorsMerge products gently at speeds of up to 200 ft (61 m) per minute while eliminating jams, product damage, and contamination risks.
Intralox Active Integrated Motion (AIM) Merges deliver faster throughput and gentler product handling than fixed rails, pusher arms, or conventional labor. Moving pegs minimize blunt impact to protect the quality of your product. Gentle product handling improves product integrity, minimizing damage even when running at high speeds. AIM technology helps you increase throughput while maintaining flexibility in your lines.
AIM Merges enhance performance across your line, especially in these applications:
- Infeed to high-speed sealers
- Outfeed merge for tray-forming equipment
- Product forming and packing lines
- Spiral freezer outfeed
- Inline weighing equipment
Designed for a washdown environment, AIM belting’s single-sculpted and robust design allows for easy cleanability in critical merging areas.
With the Intralox AIM equipment, we can actually utilize 30% less staff compared to a conventional system.

Equipment Options
Which solution is right for you?
Merge
The AIM Merge can be configured with a 2:1 or 3:1 infeed ratio. Its robust, cleanable design eliminates the need for equipment over the conveyor, which can obstruct the sanitation process. All while enabling line speeds of up to 200 products per minute with zero jams, package drag, or misalignment.
Perpetual Merge
The AIM Perpetual Merge takes merging technology to new heights. Seamlessly merge two or three lines into one while eliminating accumulation lines, complex controls, and stop-and-go motion—all at speeds of up to 120 products per minute.
AIM Perpetual Merge’s robust, cleanable design is washdown-friendly with a completely mechanical system, eliminating complex controls and control specialists for troubleshooting. This system design removes product shingling or skewing due to back pressure and reduces jams and downtime.
