Your operations aren’t always one fluid, smooth-flowing process. Sometimes, there’s overflow to be dealt with. Other times, product needs to be buffered or lines merged.
In those cases, Dorner Conveyors has you covered. Using low-friction belting, their accumulation conveyors are designed specifically for these instances and much more.
Here’s a quick round-up of Dorner’s accumulation conveyor lines:
Single, Low Back Pressure Conveyors
This option allows product to accumulate on a single low-friction belt to keep items from falling or tipping.
Helix and Alpine Conveyors
These compact systems make efficient use of vertical space and are ideally suited for facilities facing space constraints.
Recirculating Conveyors
this solution incorporates belts running in opposite directions to continually recirculate items.
Rotary Accumulation Tables
these systems, often used with round bottles or containers, allow product to accumulate for manual or automated discharge in a small footprint, making them a great choice for facilities with limited space.
