Accumulating
Create a buffer to absorb stoppages—without crushing product.
An accumulating conveyor in a conveyor system acts as a temporary buffer zone, allowing products to be stored or held until downstream processes are ready. This prevents backups, reduces jams, and ensures a smooth and efficient flow of materials, even when upstream and downstream processes operate at different speeds or experience temporary stoppages.
Key Features
- Roller or belt accumulation
- Zero- or low-pressure zones
- Fewer jams and better OEE
- Smooth merges and releases
Who it's for
- Packing/picking lines
