Product Flipper and Lane Merger
Product Flipping and Lane Merging After Thermoforming
Stable Flow Before Weighing and Labeling
The product flipper and lane merger is designed for automatic receiving, aligning, flipping and merging of packaged products after a thermoformer. It helps create a stable product flow before weighing, labeling or further downstream handling.
The system combines two operations in one compact machine:
— flipping packages into the correct position
— merging multiple outgoing lanes into one controlled flow
This helps reduce manual handling between packaging and labeling, replace repetitive operator work and improve line stability. The machine can be installed directly after a thermoformer and adapted to the required packaging format, product orientation and number of lanes.

The main purpose of the system is to remove manual handling between the packaging machine and the next stage of the line.

FAQ
The Akrobat equipment automatically flips the products and arranges them into a single stream after the thermoformer, ensuring precise feeding to the checkweigher and labeling machine. This speeds up the process and eliminates manual labor.
The product comes from the thermoformer and enters the flipping mechanism. The product is then carefully flipped and aligned into a single stream, directed to the next station — checkweigher, labeling, or packaging.
It automates product positioning, increases line speed, eliminates the need for manual handling, reduces labor costs, and improves production hygiene.
Immediately after the thermoformer. It is an intermediate module between packaging and the weighing, labeling, or final sorting stages.
Yes, the equipment easily adapts to different formats and work speeds, and can be synchronized with thermoformers, checkweighers, printers, and other machines.
The machine is versatile — it is suitable for flipping and aligning various types of packaging: sausage sticks, meat products, trays, portioned products in thermoform, and more.
The equipment is fully automatic and does not require operator involvement in the process. It is controlled via a panel.
The design is compact and open, making it easy to clean. The machine requires minimal maintenance and comes with documentation in Russian.
The equipment is supplied with a technical passport, schematics, and an operation manual. Commissioning and staff training are available upon request.
Mirotec offers the selection, supply, and setup of equipment for automating the line after the thermoformer.
