KMG Autoflow Plus
KMG introduces the patented Autoflow Plus, a gateless distribution system that minimises product drops and eliminates moving parts. This innovative system is a game-changer for the industry, offering a new level of control, efficiency and precise distribution./l
Features
- Controllable feed toward or away from machine outlet
- Minimal product drops between machines
- Safe by design
- Energy efficient as no air requirement
- Suitable for distribution of packets
- A unique version of the KMG vibratory conveyor
The KMG Autoflow Plus is a ground-breaking distribution system that redefines how products are fed into multiple outlets without relying on pneumatically operated gates. Traditional distribution systems often incorporate gates that can lead to product drops and require frequent maintenance. What sets the Autoflow Plus apart is its gateless design and the ability to steer product toward or away from the machine's outlet based on the specific requirements of downstream processes. This controllable feed mechanism minimises the transfer distance between the Autoflow Plus and the next machine, reducing product impact and improving overall efficiency. The system's side-mounted drive unit, in addition to the standard drive, provides a high level of control over product distribution. The absence of gates and moving parts inherently enhances safety, eliminating potential hazards in the production environment. Energy efficiency is another noteworthy advantage of the Autoflow Plus. With no air requirement, it operates efficiently and reduces energy consumption, aligning with sustainability initiatives in modern manufacturing. The KMG Autoflow Plus is a testament to the pursuit of precision, efficiency, and safety in snack food manufacturing. This innovative distribution system streamlines the process, reduces product drops, and eliminates the need for moving parts, setting new standards for the industry. With its ability to adapt to a variety of product types, it offers manufacturers the control they need to optimise their production processes.

Distribution SystemsFAQs about KMG Autoflow Plus
The KMG Autoflow Plus is a patented, gateless distribution system that eliminates the need for pneumatically operated gates, which are common in traditional systems. By removing these moving parts, the Autoflow Plus reduces product drops between machines, enhances safety, and minimises maintenance requirements. Its design allows for precise control over product flow, directing it towards or away from the machine outlet as needed, thereby improving overall efficiency in the production line.
Unlike conventional systems that rely on compressed air to operate gates, the Autoflow Plus operates without any air requirement. This design choice not only reduces energy consumption but also aligns with modern sustainability goals by lowering the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process. The absence of air-operated components simplifies the system, leading to decreased operational costs and increased reliability.
Yes, the Autoflow Plus is versatile and can handle a wide range of snack products, including packets, baked snacks, biscuits, breakfast cereals, confectionery, dried fruit, dry pasta, dry pet food, extruded products, fabricated/stackable chips, fruit and vegetables, IQF-frozen food, nuts and seeds, pellet snacks, popcorn, popped chips, potato and kettle-style chips, rice, RTE cereals, salads, tea and coffee, tortilla chips, and whole potatoes. Its gentle handling ensures product integrity is maintained throughout the conveying process.
Absolutely. The Autoflow Plus is designed for seamless integration into both new and existing production environments. Its modular design allows it to be adapted to various factory layouts and production requirements, ensuring minimal disruption during installation and commissioning.
The elimination of moving parts such as gates significantly reduces wear and tear, leading to lower maintenance requirements and costs. The system’s robust design ensures long-term reliability, and its simplicity makes routine inspections and cleaning straightforward, thereby minimising downtime and enhancing overall productivity.
