Accumulation Conveyors - Accumulating Conveyor Systems
Accumulation systems hold product on the conveyor until given a signal to release
Accumulation conveyors hold product in place until given a signal to release it. Applications include feeding product to a machine such as a case sealer at a specified rate, or to hold all items to be shipped on a given truck until that truck is ready to be loaded. (continued below)
Minimum Pressure Accumulation ConveyorMinimum 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. |
Zero-Pressure Accumulation ConveyorsIn zero-pressure accumulation, conveyed products don't touch each other and place no force on product when it stops. Drive pressure is removed by placing sensors at regular intervals. Each zone extracts power from a flat drive belt that runs the entire length of the conveyor. When a product is stopped, a sensing eye is activated, sending a signal to the trailing zone. When the next load moves into this zone, the drive belt is lowered away from the tread rollers causing the product to stop until the product is released. When any product is removed, all others behind this zone will move forward in sequence. |
EZLogic Accumulation SystemCombines a system of photo-eyes and discrete electronic logic control without the use of PLC's to provide "intelligent" zero-pressure control. This system works on a variety of conveyor models, and allows you to customize how the product is accumulated and released from the conveyor. |
Accumulation is similar to power roller conveyor with important exceptions. The drive pressure on the product can be adjusted to a minimum?or even eliminated altogether. This is useful when a long line of cartons have to be accumulated without pressure so that they can be utilized in a process such as loading, sorting, taping, strapping, palletizing, or picking.
