Where
to use accumulation conveyors
Accumulation conveyors are used wherever there is a need to temporarily
stop, hold and release material. The need is common in both manufacturing
and warehouse materials handling systems:
Work-in-process... Keep assembly workers busy and prevent production bottlenecks. accumulation conveyors control surges and balances workflow by holding items between stations.
Shipping docks... Keep shipping areas organized. Accumulation conveyors hold cartons until they are ready for loading.
Merging conveyor lines... Meter items for smooth merging when material flow from two or more lines comes together.
Automatic feeding... Pace flow into automatic machines such as case sealers, strappers, and palletizers. In a similar manner, accumulation conveyors can control flow into a vertical conveyor.
Sortation systems... Eliminate bunching and misidentification in a sortation system, automatically singulates and spaces out items as they are released.
