Reusable Totes Resist Tampering
FlapNest 2115 series is a reusable handheld tote with allplastic hinges that are tamper resistant. When the lid flaps are closed with security strap, ties or clips, it is said to be impossible to withdraw the container's contents without leaving permanent, visible damage marks. The plastic hinges reduce worker injuries. The totes are lighter and easier to carry. The attached lid was designed to exceed distribution-container standards in many markets.

Belt-Driven Conveyor Sensor Eye
The Accutronic accumulation conveyor has zero-pressure accumulation of cases, cartons and totes. The flat-belt-driven, powered live-roller conveyor features 24-volt electric actuation. The drive belt is electrically raised to engage and power the rollers. When its photo-eye sensors detect product within the next downstream zone that requires upstream accumulation, the belt is lowered, disengaging power from the rollers.
