Manufacturers showcase new equipment at Pack Expo that boasts small footprints, high speeds
Parallel accumulation systems reduce downtime
At Pack Expo in September, Multi-Conveyor showcased its accumulation system featuring Alpine incline and decline, pneumatic divert and product-reject technologies. Alpine systems offer a narrow footprint with simplified designs using standard conveyor components and controls. Products are elevated and declined to minimize use of floor space. This particular system was designed to run at 60 feet per minute at 60 hertz based on a product load of 1 pound of distributed load per lineal foot of conveyor with 100% accumulation.
