A collator is a subsystem of a packaging machine or a standalone device that arranges individual products into the desired grouping. This is a crucial step in group packaging machines. Typically, a collator includes the following functions:
Receiving individual products, usually via a conveyor
Orienting the products
Forming groups into rows and stacks according to the required configuration
Transferring the grouped products to the next stage, such as a carton or tray
