Application context
Merging Conveyors are used to consolidate the flow of product from multiple infeed lines. Typically, these systems will merge the product into a single stream on one conveyor for the next phase in the production process.
There are many ways to merge product, such as: diverters and gates, product pushers, lane guiding, ARB Conveyors and more.

Design considerations
These systems are created to ensure facilities are running efficiently and eliminating bottlenecks while avoiding product pile up or overflow.
Choosing the right type of merge system depends on the application and characteristics of the product that it is created for.
