5 reasons you should upgrade your equipment with an Intralox DARB™ S4500 90˚or ARB™ S7000 Pattern Former:

A&B Engineering Services will retrofit your existing equipment or any Arrowhead Systems equipment with the Intralox DARB™ S4500 90˚or ARB S7000™ Pattern Former. This Intralox patented technology selectively turns, sequences, and diverts product without the use of mechanical devices that touch the product.

The Intralox patented Activated Roller Belt (ARB) and Dual-Stacked Angled Roller Belt (DARB) technology provide the ultimate flexibility for creating customized pallet layers of the most varied products, at the highest rates, with no change-over time between products.

5 reasons you should consider upgrading your equipment with an Intralox DARB™ S4500 90˚or ARB™ S7000 Pattern Former:

  1. Increased productivity: Move over 225 products/min. With the ability to change case orientation and pallet patterns on the fly at the touch of a button and without any mechanical change-over adjustments.
  2. Decrease product damage with the no-touch system: Products are handled smoothly and gently, as they’re directed from underneath the belt. There are no bump turns or grippers that could damage the product.
  3. Maximize floor space: The DARB™ S4500 and ARB™ S7000 are the only pattern formers that provide so many different capabilities in such a small footprint saving your valuable floor space.
  4. Low maintenance: Because there are few moving parts, the robust system requires minimal maintenance.
  5. Improved safety: There are no moving parts outside the machine housing, increasing safety for both workers and products.

Intralox ARB S7000™
Pattern Former
The Intralox ARB S7000™ Pattern Former technology gently turns and lanes cases while providing the ultimate in flexibility for creating customized pallet layers of varied products, at the highest rates, with no change-over between products. Product damage is virtually eliminated by the touch-less turning and diverting the ARB™ utilizes without the use of rails or other devices that touch the product.

The ARB™ S7000 Pattern Former quickly and accurately moves products from the stream into an infinite number of arrangements. The ability to change case orientation and pallet patterns on the fly without stopping comes with a touch of a button.


PriorityPal™ High Level Case Palletizer
 Utilizing an Intralox DARB™ S4500 Pattern Former
The Intralox DARB™ S4500 90° Pattern Former is the fastest in its class. Using patented Dual-Stacked Angled Roller Belt (DARB™) technology, the machine selectively turns, sequences, and diverts product at a 90° angle to the belt’s direction of travel, without the use of rails or other mechanical devices that touch the product. It eliminates the need for void stops and breakage due to product handling.

The PriorityPal™ High Level Case Palletizer utilizes the DARB™ S4500 90° Pattern Former that allows the palletizer to selectively sort, sequence, and divert product at a 90° angle onto the row forming conveyor eliminating the need for void stops and breakage due to product handling.
