Accumulation Conveyor with 1.9" Rollers

Medium-duty straight and curved sections

• Loads may be conveyed, accumulated, or stopped on the conveyor at any point.
• Uses very little motor horsepower and gives practically no pressure between boxes or packages.
• Straight lengths from 5' to 50' listed, but many other sizes available. Curve sections shown are 90 degrees; 30, 45, and 60 degree angles also available upon request.
• Configuration assistance is just a call away - we help customers get it right.

How minimum pressure accumulation conveyor works:

The driving of the tread rollers on minimum pressure conveyor is accomplished with the top surface of a standard section endless V-belt. The strength and wear qualities of the tread rollers and this belt have been thoroughly tested for continuous duty. 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. The pressure can be maintained constantly to give a 2% minimum back pressure in either forward or reverse direction.

In the event of extreme changes in the load (weight of box or package), convenient knurled thumb adjusting nuts can be turned to accept a heavier load. This method eliminates the need for selecting proper tension spring holes in trigger mechanisms or jogging cleats on driving belt and eccentric (off center) tread rollers. By maintaining a constant minimum pressure on the tread rollers, long loads may be conveyed, accumulated, or stopped in the conveyor at any point using very little motor horsepower and giving practically no pressure between boxes or packages.

Width

Accumulation conveyor width is measured in two ways; overall width and between rail width. Overall width includes the width of the frame, which is 1-1/2" on either side of the rollers. This means that the between rail width would be 3" less than the overall width of the conveyor. Keep this in mind when determining what width of conveyor you need to meet your package requirements.
