Preparing Product for Controlled Downstream Flow

ORIENTATION & STAGING

Orientation Systems for Product Alignment, Staging, Turning & Line Control

Kraken’s Orientation & Staging solutions are designed to prepare products for what comes next—by controlling how they are positioned, stabilized, separated, and transferred between processes.

Predictable Product Presentation

In many packaging lines, downstream performance depends on more than speed. Products need to arrive in the right orientation, the right spacing, and the right condition to be handled reliably by the next piece of equipment.
That is where Kraken brings value. Our systems are engineered to create predictable product presentation,
helping manufacturers reduce disruption, improve line stability, and support a more reliable downstream
packaging performance

What We Help You Solve

  • Incorrect product orientation in the downstream equipment
  • Unstable or shifting products during transfer
  • Products arriving too close together for reliable handling
  • Poor product presentation in cartoners, case packers, or inspection systems
  • Difficult transitions between conveyors, elevations, or
    machine interfaces
  • Inconsistent spacing or positioning ahead of downstream processes.

These are often small problems at the product level—but they have a major impact on line performance.

Typical Product Types

Kraken’s Orientation & Staging solutions are commonly applied to:

Bags & Pouches

Boxes & Cartons

Bottles

Clamshells

These solutions are especially valuable when products must be positioned, stabilized, separated, or transferred cleanly before downstream packaging.

Core Orientation & Staging Solutions

Upending, Turning & Settling

This area of the line often creates more problems than it should. Products may arrive inconsistently from production. Existing transfer methods can lead to wear, mistiming, or even product damage. Metal detection requirements may also introduce layout challenges that disrupt flow rather than protect it.

Kraken focuses on this critical stage—solving real-world production issues instead of simply adding more equipment.

Designed as Part of the Line

Kraken does not treat orientation and staging as
isolated conveyor functions. Every solution is engineered around how the full packaging line needs the product to arrive, move, and perform—including:

  • upstream product behavior
  • downstream equipment requirements
  • line speed and spacing needs
  • floor space and layout constraints
  • integration with existing equipment

That system-level approach helps ensure products are not just moved but properly prepared for what comes next.
