Zero Pressure Accumulation Case Conveyors
Check how Zero Pressure Accumulation Case Conveyors optimise product flow, ensuring seamless, damage-free handling and enhanced efficiency for high-demand operations.
Zero-Pressure Accumulation Conveyor Features:
Experience seamless product flow and enhanced efficiency with zero-pressure accumulation conveyors, designed to prevent backpressure and optimise handling through advanced zone control.
- Accumulation Zone: Individual pressure accumulation conveyor zones along the length of the conveyor for line control. Each zone is specifically designed to accommodate a single product or item, ensuring that when a product is stationary in one zone, the conveyor system can effectively manage the flow and prevent backpressure, thereby maintaining product integrity and enhancing overall efficiency.
- Controlled Release: The control system releases only the required cases from the corresponding accumulation zone either in a cascading release method or as a slug release method.
- Non-Contact Accumulation: Conveyors employ methods to prevent pressure between cases, and minimising gaps between cases to maximise accumulation.
- Flexible Configuration: Conveyors can be configured in various layouts.
- High Throughput: These conveyors are designed to handle high volumes of product, making them suitable for applications with demanding production rates. Zero-pressure accumulation conveyors play a crucial role in regulating and buffering material flow between upstream operations, like picking, and downstream operations, such as packing.

Advantages of Zero-Pressure Conveyors
Maximise efficiency and protect product integrity with zero-pressure accumulation conveyors, offering key advantages that enhance performance, reduce wear and optimise material handling operations.
- Elimination of Product Damage: By preventing products from touching or colliding, zero-pressure accumulation conveyors protect fragile items and reduce breakage, minimizing product loss and maintaining quality.
- Reduced Backpressure: With no physical contact between products, there is no build-up of backpressure. This reduces stress on the conveying surfaces and decreases wear on belts, rollers, and chains, leading to longer equipment life.
- Energy Efficiency: Zero pressure systems often use intelligent controls and zone-based drives. Only the zones actively moving product consume energy, resulting in lower energy usage and reduced operational costs.
- Enhanced Throughput and Flow Control: Independent zone control allows for precise product release timing. The system can regulate flow rates, create buffers, and manage varying product sizes, improving overall line efficiency.
- Operational Flexibility: Zero-pressure conveyors can be easily reconfigured to accommodate changing product dimensions and weights. Zone lengths can be adjusted, and release methods can be tailored (e.g., slug or single-item release).
- Integration with Other Systems: Zero-pressure accumulation conveyors seamlessly integrate with upstream and downstream equipment, warehouse control systems, and other conveyor types. This coordination helps balance workflows and optimises the entire material handling process.
