Carleton Helical Technologies
Carleton Helical Technologies manufactures product and package handling equipment including feedscrews and denesters. HP Feedscrews can be engineered to handle a wide variety of applications for container handling: divide, combine, collate, rotate, dwell, denest, register and meter. Helical Denesters are used to separate products such as cups, bowls, or trays that are delivered in stacks. These stacks can be manually or automatically loaded into the denester. The denester will hold the stacks and mechanically separate the product one at a time for discharge onto a conveyor, platform or lead station for transport onto the next stage of its processing. These units can work as a stand-alone system dispensing containers if they are preset or can be linked to upstream and downstream equipment to work in unison for a collaborative system.
