Mass Accumulation Sweeps in Rows
... hands-free genius for large size containers.

     
     Multi-Conveyor has built some very unique conveyor systems for larger size containers that require mass or   overflow accumulation. The objective? Sweeping rows of containers extracted from, then reintroduced back into, single file production - without operator intervention. 

A recent shipment consisted of three (3) independent powered, straight configured conveyors that transport, overflow accumulate, and re-enter filled and sealed plastic food containers en masse. The large size snack food containers begin on a 10-1/2” wide by 25’ long plastic chain conveyor that is fed from the customer’s filler. 

The containers are swept in rows on and off respective accumulation table conveyors by way of pneumatic actuators. High level photo sensors trigger accumulation based on production flow ahead. Product is reintroduced to the production line when sensors redeploy. (Note: Product used for demonstration purposes only.) 

This is the same “sweep arm” concept used in a previous stainless steel constructed conveyor system created by Multi-Conveyor engineers for another large size container for non-rounds. Plastic bottles are fed onto two distinctive accumulation tables that form rows of product at the face of the table. 

Both systems feature our engineering staff’s precision control expertise using motor and logic control arrangements, devices, sensors, HMI screens and UL listed panels. See even more bi-di, mass flow, reflow and single file product accumulation solutions.
