Bulk Parcel Singulator

Induct & Singulate up to 10,000 Parcels Per Hour in Compact Design

Converting bulk into singulated flow has always been one of the most challenging aspects for feeding automated parcel processing solutions. Historically, there have been two options; either a manual and time consuming approach or an automated solution with a very large footprint and an extremely high price tag.

To solve this challenge, NPI’s patented Parcel Singulator can achieve production flows of up to 10,000 PPH and handles a wide array of product types from polybags to boxes. The semi-automated design also allows for the system to be operated with either 1 or 2 operators depending on work flow requirements. It includes a semi-automatic singulation table, independent power control panel, PLC, stand-alone safety with Safe Torque Off, standard set of dry contacts for easy integration into third party systems, and NPI’s touch screen operator control panel. Additional options include a dumper to discharge gaylords, pallets of boxes, collapsible bins, or carts. It can be used to feed a single induction lane or split the load between two induction lanes by smart-sensing available space on each lane and directing product flow appropriately.

Hopper Feed Conveyor

NPI's Hopper Feed Conveyor is designed for operations that receive 'Air Packs' or tightly packed parcels carrying several poly bags within them. Typically, these air packs or tightly packed parcels are shipped from overseas by air.

The Hopper Feed Conveyor is an optional add-on for NPI's Parcel Singulator for operations that require the unpacking of air packs containing multiple parcels.

Conveyor Speed: 120 feet per minute

Utilize With These Container Types

Stacks of Boxes on Pallets	Mail Carts	Short & Tall Gaylords	Collapsible Bins

• At position 1, the operator selects mode with control panel to optimize flow

• A dumper at position 2 is used to empty parcels out of a container directly into a hopper at position 3, which then feeds the parcels onto the feeder conveyor at position 4

• Manual: Operators reach into position 5 & 6, then manually puts parcels onto position 7 & 8

• Poly Slow: Positions 5 & 6 automatically inject parcels at low tempo to gaps in positions 7 & 8 prior to operator. No reaching required

• Poly Fast: Positions 5 & 6 automatically inject parcels at high tempo to gaps at positions 7 & 8 prior to operator. No reaching required

• Fully Automatic: Position 5 continuously inject packages to position 7. No reaching required

Four Different Operation Modes to Choose From

The NPI Parcel Singulator can run in a variety of different modes that allow for optimum induction, based on product type. This can include combinations of fast automatic singulation, slow automatic singulation and a manual pull mode. Programmable options on the touch screen operator control panel allow employees to easily switch between modes based on product type to optimize flow.

This solution represents a significant leap in parcel singulation and induction technology. Distinguished by its innovative and unique singulation process, it stands out among other singulation solutions due to its affordability, ease-of-use, and compact design.
