Rental Equipment: Accumulation

This type of conveyor is used to temporarily stop, hold, and release products or other materials. Accumulator conveyors are an efficient method to balance production line rates, allowing production to continue while downstream product is halted. They also facilitate product removal for packing and prevent product damage that can occur when a production line is stopped. Common styles of accumulation tables include alpine, bi-directional, flow through, rotary, serpentine, spiral and vertical.
