FAQs
Q: What is a DARB / active roller belt transfer?
A: A Directional Active Roller Belt (DARB) transfer embeds small powered rollers at an angle within a belt, steering product diagonally to divert, align, merge, or sort it at full line speed without hard stops.
Q: How is a DARB different from a pusher or right-angle transfer?
A: Pushers and right-angle transfers stop product to move it sideways, which limits rate. A DARB shifts product while it keeps moving forward, sustaining much higher throughput and handling product more gently.
Q: Is the DARB made in the USA?
A: Yes. Innoveyance engineers, manufactures, and services the DARB transfer in the United States.
