Accumulation

Our Accumulation Conveyors and Disks are designed for precise, efficient product buffering with a modular frame that can be easily customized to achieve your desired accumulation capacity. Smooth, reliable transfers make them ideal for handling even the smallest and most fragile containers, while integrated accumulation sensors provide automatic backup control to keep your line running efficiently.

Adjustable guides and optional change parts ensure accurate vial entry and exit paths, and optional loading or unloading shelves support flexible line configurations. With multiple control packages available, these accumulation devices can operate as stand-alone units or integrate seamlessly with upstream and downstream equipment, providing a versatile accumulation solution for a wide range of applications.

System Core Features

Risk Free Consultation

Ask us about performing a risk free consultation of your facility to determine equipment layouts or performance capabilities. Whether you want help identifying process downtime contributors for optimal accumulation areas, or just want help planning out equipment and conveyor layouts that fit your space, we can help. We can also evaluate your unique commodities with our in-house test setup to determine the best handling approach risk free. This assessment can determine what your final equipment configuration could look like based on your performance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

The modular frame design allows us to customize the system based on your specific "buffer" requirements, such as desired accumulation time or product quantity. We can also help with calculating what this accumulation buffer needs to be based on your specific manufacturing process.

When a machine inadvertently has downtime due to jams, commodity refills, speed differences, etc. every downstream machine is affected like dominos unless there is intermediate accumulation. This provides a buffer to keep separate machines running independent of each other to maintain consistent production output, compensate for speed differences, allow for small interventions, and reduce machine wear. Ideally, accumulation between every major machine on a production line maximizes your production output capabilities.

Our accumulation conveyors are designed for smooth transfers, making them highly effective even for small container handling.

We include an accumulation sensor for backup control, which monitors product density and manages flow to prevent jams.

We offer adjustable guides and/or change parts specifically for vial entry and exit paths to accommodate various product dimensions.

We offer loading and unloading shelf options to facilitate manual intervention when necessary.

Accumulation Glossary

A system designed to create a "buffer" between machines, allowing products to collect without stopping the entire production line during minor downtimes or speed differences.

A rotating disc system used to collect or distribute products, featuring customizable sizes and materials for specific application compatibility.

A product flow requirement where the first item to enter the accumulation zone is the first item to exit.

A device used for backup control that monitors product density and manages flow to prevent jams.
