Accumulation conveyors

An accumulation conveyor momentarily holds a product in place before it’s released to the next phase in a production process. The conveyor solutions are available in two different configurations; spiral and storage.

Spiral accumulation conveyor

The spiral shaped accumulating conveyor (alpine conveyor) functions as an accumulation/buffer zone between machines. It can also be used as an in-process step, e.g. for cooling or drying, or simply to elevate and lower products.  

This type of accumulating conveyors are used inline or as a bypass.

Accumulating buffer for storage

The accumulation buffer track is typically used in testing and sorting applications. The automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS), provide an effective and ergonomic system. The accumulation system can be used for intelligent buffering, balancing of process flow, kitting, test and burn-in solutions or as storage for different items.
