A merge is a belt conveyor with a 45° angled connection edge that enables the merging of two conveyor lines.
Typically used with additional sorting conveyors they provide for a smooth flow of baggage from one line to another. Merges may also be used in conjunction with a plough arm to receive diverted baggage from another conveyor line.
45° Merge conveyors are manufactured in two lengths measured along the centreline of the conveyor from the tail end to the discharge / head end. They can be provided at either 1,500mm or 1,775mm centre length.
