D&F Equipment Sales will be showcasing a specialty conveying system built for intelligent sorting at PACK EXPO International 2026 in Chicago, Illinois. As a full-service equipment manufacturer, D&F is committed to doing Whatever it Takes to deliver custom-engineered solutions that enhance efficiency, improve process flow, and ensure long-term success for customers in the poultry, meat, and prepared foods industries.
Engineered for precision, flexibility, and cleanability, the D&F conveyor system will be on a continuous loop at Booth LU-7207, where attendees can experience it in action running two demo products: tray packs and boxes. The D&F PACK EXPO booth will feature a full, unified suite of innovative conveying technology, including:
● ARB passive conveyors transferring packages at 90 degrees without changing orientation
● Transport conveyor
● Zero Tangent Radius (ZTR) conveyor using a small inside radius to limit floor space
● Two station AIM sorter segregating packages into two lanes
● Two product lanes allowing for product flowing into the merge
● ARB passive on merge combining packages from the two segregated lanes
● Transport conveyor demonstrating tight transfers for small packages
Additionally, the strategic use of photo-eyes throughout the system demonstrates the capability to integrate efficient pack-height detection and sorting, while maintaining speed and throughput.
The looping conveyor system is equipped with controls that allow for the sorting of like-packages into individual lanes, and, like all D&F conveyors, is built with open construction to allow for maximum cleanability while providing the best possible shielding for safety
This exhibit of smart conveyor technology at PACK EXPO International 2026 is just a sampling of the seamless solutions that D&F can provide manufacturers looking to optimize plant operations. D&F Equipment Sales is a turnkey solution for conveying systems and integrated material handling in the food processing industry. Whether it is facility upgrades or single-conveyor projects, the D&F Equipment Sales team maintains complete control over every stage of the process—from Process Engineering and System Fabrication to Service & Installation.
