Material Handling & Conveyor Equipment
Denest, pick, place, collate, count, batch, stack, and collect products before printing, packaging, mailing, or downstream handling.
Equipment can be configured around flat products, trays, cartons, cards, printed materials, pouches, components, and other repeatable production items.
Explore Material Handling & End-of-Line Automation SolutionsEquipment is grouped by the handling task performed so separation, grouping, and collection can be evaluated independently.
Tray denesting, rotary pick-and-place, and downstacking systems for separating and placing products.

Models
Kirk-Rudy
An end-of-line mail-handling conveyor that converts a flat, shingled stream into upright edge-stacked output, making tray breaks easier to identify and completed bundles easier to transfer into mail trays.
Kirk-Rudy
Inline ramp stackers for sorting and collecting products based on counts, mailing data, or production controls.
KR630, KR703
Models
Kirk-Rudy
A configurable stacker for books, newspapers, inserts, mailpieces, and other printed products requiring controlled stack formation and directional output.
Five areas usually determine the handling method and level of automation.
Document the product material, dimensions, weight, nesting behavior, and how a stack currently behaves.
Determine whether the product must be separated, picked and placed, grouped, or collected.
Define the batch count, sequence, job breaks, and any verification the group must satisfy.
Review the required rate, product pitch, and how much time each handling movement can take.
Review how the finished group or stack is packed, banded, conveyed, or handled by an operator.
Transport and buffer products between handling, printing, and packaging processes.

Explore Service & SupportA tray denester separates one tray, clamshell, carton, cup, or container from a nested stack and places it into the production flow so it can be filled, loaded, or handled downstream.
Collating assembles products into a defined group, count, or sequence. Sorting separates products into different destinations based on a rule, count, or scanned value.
In many applications denesting, pick-and-place, collation, and stacking equipment can be connected with conveyors, filling, printing, or packaging machinery. Product handling, timing, controls, and layout must be reviewed first.
Helpful information includes product samples or dimensions, stack characteristics, required count and sequence, production rate, downstream packing method, available floor space, and photographs or video of the current process.
Describe the product, how it is separated or grouped today, and what the completed batch or stack must look like, and ATP can help identify an appropriate handling approach.
