Accumulation Conveyors

Accumulation conveyors are designed to momentarily hold and accumulate products before releasing them to the next production phase. The use of an accumulation conveyor helps control product flow when items from multiple lines must be merged into a single line and to
even out product line variations.

Accumulation conveyors come in two configurations: accumulation table and alpine conveyor.

The accumulation table has a large storage capacity and accumulates products to generate mass buffering in order to accommodate other processes in a production line. These can also be used to unload jars or bottles onto a filling line.

The alpine accumulating conveyor is compact with a spiral configuration and is used as an accumulation or elevating buffer zone between machines.
It can also be used for cooling, drying, or vertically moving products.

Key Features:

• Creates a buffer zone between processes.
• Merges multiple line items into a single line.
• Controls product line flow as well as singulates products on outfeed.
• Prevent congestion in conveying lines.
• Allows production to continue while changes occur downstream
