Accumulating Roller Conveyor

The GEBHARDT accumulating roller conveyor is suitable for transporting containers, trays and cartons. Accumulation conveyor systems can be used to accumulate goods in the material flow in an energy-efficient manner and without any accumulation pressure. After all, individual storage locations are formed depending on the length of the material to be conveyed. Each storage location is equipped with a separate drive and sensors. This ensures that all conveyance goods are only conveyed to the next available storage location. The special feature is that occupied storage locations are no longer operated when items accumulate. The sensor technology makes it possible to activate sections in a targeted manner, which means that various large conveyance goods can be conveyed uniformly with minimal spacing. In turn, this can enable high throughput by creating a steady material flow. After all, the conveying speed of the individual drives automatically adjusts depending on the required throughput. In addition to increasing the accumulation capacity, the space requirements can be minimised, since fewer accumulation sections are needed. The unit is driven either by motor rollers (24V) or by drive stations under the track (400V). Autonomous accumulation routes can also be formed by using 24V technologies in conjunction with the latest generation of MCC control modules. This means that the accumulation logic is independently carried out by the control modules without an external higher-level control. The unit is operated at room temperature in closed rooms.
