Accumulation Conveyors

ASAP Automation India offers Accumulation Conveyor. This is very similar to live roller conveyor except that the drive pressure on the product can be easily adjusted to a minimum or even eliminated. Some of the technologies employed include: motorised drive roller conveyor - requires no air or special brakes, rather it works solely from electrical control, for applications including accumulation in curves, inclines, and declines; powered roller accumulation has the capability to interface with a PLC or PC based control package; zero pressure accumulation conveyor - this ensures that products do not touch each other during the conveying process. Zero pressure accumulation conveyor is divided into accumulation zones. Each zone extracts power from a flat drive belt that runs the entire length of the conveyor. The drive belt is pneumatically lowered away from the tread rollers causing product in that zone to stop. Minimum pressure accumulation conveyor allows products to lightly touch each other during the conveying process. Enough power is removed from the tread roller to stop a moving package, but not too much backpressure to cause package damage. The amount of backpressure on this type of conveyor is usually 2% of the total live load on the conveyor and is adjustable.
