The Belt Buffer IBB provides stable FIFO buffering and product flow control for disordered and unwrapped products such as marshmallows, biscuits, and sticky cereal bars. It stabilizes irregular infeed, compensates speed variations, and can support product cooling after baking.
Its modular inline design fits easily into tight layouts and can supply multiple packaging legs at independent speeds. Small-diameter end rollers enable gentle handling of small products, while the optional wash-down execution improves hygiene and minimizes cleaning times.
By preventing misaligned rows from entering downstream equipment and maintaining a consistent product stream, the IBB reduces flow-related stops and avoids starvation at the packaging machines. This leads to higher sustained throughput and a measurable improvement in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
