Used Vertical Accumulation

This type of accumulator can be dual or single flight. The dual vertical accumulator can handle heavier objects because it has more support. Vertical accumulators lift the product up on a set of shelves, then release rows of product; shelf by shelf. The first items to enter the accumulator are the last ones to be released. Some vertical accumulators are round, and convey the product down a spiral, such as alpine systems, which lift or lower product to a lower or higher line. Product can also be heated or cooled as it travels along the accumulator. Vertical accumulators conserve floor space by taking advantage of overhead space.
