Accumulation Conveyors - Minimum Pressure Systems

Hold product on the conveyor until given a signal to release

Minimum pressure accumulation conveyor allows products to lightly touch while being conveyed. The conveyor stops a moving package, but back pressure is kept to a minimum to eliminate package damage. The amount of back pressure is usually 2% of the total live load on the conveyor and is adjustable. To maintain the driving of the tread roller, the pressure roller is mounted in spring-adjusted carriers which sense the required driving friction regardless of the length of the accumulated load.

1.375" Rollers; V-Belt Driven

Hytrol Model 138-ACC: Light-duty accumulation conveyor using 1-3/8" rollers allows for up to 1,500 pounds of capacity with a 1-hp motor. Straight and curve sections are available in overall widths of 15", 18", and 24". Many models available within 24 hours.

1.9" Rollers; V-Belt Driven

Hytrol Model 190-ACC: Medium-duty accumulation conveyor using 1.9" rollers allows for up to 3,500 pounds of capacity with a 2 hp motor. Straight and curve sections are available in overall widths of 18", 24", and 30".

1.9" Rollers; Flat Belt Driven

Hytrol Model 190-ACZ: This accumulation conveyor uses a larger flat belt to move the rollers allowing up to 7,000 pounds of capacity with a 2 hp motor. The single belt provides for less maintenance and may extend the life of the conveyor over the V-belt model. Both straight and curve sections are available in overall widths of 18" and 24".
