Fives ACCORD Packet Singulator Review: Features and Uses of the Small Packet Singulator
Updated: 7 days ago
The Fives ACCORD is a singulator designed for small, flat and soft packets. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Small packets stack and slide in ways boxes do not. ACCORD starts with an incline de-stacker that pulls stacked items apart, then a skew aligner squares packets to one side, a side-by-side eliminator removes pairs and a recirculation loop returns them. A patented dynamic flow controller measures each footprint and gap and adjusts conveyor speed accordingly, which also improves barcode reads in the scan tunnel. It handles packets up to 15 kg. Throughput is not given.
