Benchmark manufactures infeed systems for cartoning applications as well as belt conveyors, mat conveyors, vibratory conveyors and other systems used in food product conveying. Benchmark’s partnership with Intralox allows for utilization of ARB Series 400 belting. This series belt is constructed with 30-degree rollers that when activated move product laterally across the belt while the belt is moving. ARB belting operates by transporting product on angled rollers that rotate independent of the belt.

Benchmark supplies product laning conveyors, stacking machines, channeling equipment, and related single file product distribution equipment. The In-Line Stacker can be incorporated into new or existing horizontal wrappers. A series of flight chains, a lift ramp and a stacking plate are used to automatically build 2 high stacks of product while it travels along the wrapper infeed. The system is servo driven and can provide 1 or 2-high stacks with changeovers of less than 1 minute.
