Accumulation Conveyors

Roach Model 138VP accumulates goods safely and with minimum backpressure. Model 138VP is the simplest method ever devised for accumulating cartons, boxes, etc. The basic design eliminates complicated adjustments and allows a minimum of 2-1/2% backpressure.

Roach Model 196VP variable pressure accumulator conveys goods safely and with minimum backpressure. In a distribution or manufacturing operation, accumulation conveyors are commonly used to transport and accumulate cartons or unit loads so that they are efficiently queued up and fed into sorting, wrapping, palletizing, strapping or various other processes. 

The Roach SZ196ZPA Smart Zone™ safely accumulates packages with zero back pressure utilizing zone singulation operation. Zero pressure conveyors will use a type of sensor to segregate the conveyor into various sized zones that will accumulate your product.

A Roach SZ251ZPA Smart Zone™ is a heavy duty zero pressure accumulator, designed to accumulate heavy products, containers, and pallets in 5’ zones. The Roach Conveyor design incorporates photoelectric sensors, instead of sensor rollers, eliminating many common problems associated with conveying wooden pallets.

Model SZA192CDA are designed to safely bring together medium duty loads in 5' zones. The  Smart Zone™ incorporates photoelectric sensors, instead of sensor rollers, to detect product loads, which eliminates many problems associated with sensor rollers. Products do not touch during accumulation and are singulated individually off of the conveyor. 

Roach's Medium Duty Chain Driven Zero Pressure Accumulator Conveyors are designed to safely bring together medium duty loads in 5' zones.  The Model SZD192CDA Smart Zone™ incorporates photoelectric sensors, instead of sensor rollers, to detect product loads, which eliminates many problems associated with sensor rollers.

SZA251CDA Smart Zone™ is a heavy duty roll-to-roll chain-driven zero pressure accumulator, designed to safely accumulate heavy products such as castings, drums, containers and heavy pallet loads in 5’ zones. 

The Model SZD251CDA SMART ZONE™ is a heavy duty roll-to-roll chain-driven zero pressure accumulator, designed to safely accumulate heavy products such as castings, drums, containers and heavy pallet loads in 5’ zones.  Products do not touch during accumulation and are singulated individually off of the conveyor. Smart Zone™ is easy to install and simple to maintain.

The Model SZ796LSZ Smart Zone™ is a horizontal line shaft driven conveyor, designed for zero pressure accumulation of product. Model SZ796LSZ quietly accumulates a wide variety of product sizes and features no minimum weight limitations.

The Model 796LSZ Smart Zone™ is a horizontal line shaft driven conveyor, designed for zero pressure accumulation of product. It quietly accumulates a wide variety of product sizes and features no minimum weight limitations. Each zone features positive braking of each roller in the zone during accumulation. Product may be released in singulation or slug fashion.

What sets the accumulation conveyor apart from other powered conveyors is that they assist in the control of the rate of flow of products through a production process. Rather than a continuous flow of products like other powered roller conveyors, the accumulation conveyor starts and stops the movement of loads automatically, allowing for storage and metering or batch advancing of loads. This is often achieved using accumulation zones, sensors, air valves and brakes. 

The model 796PRAC assists in the control of the rate of flow of products through a production process. Rather than a continuous flow of products like other powered roller conveyors, the accumulation conveyor starts and stops the movement of loads automatically, allowing for storage and metering or batch advancing of loads. This is often achieved using accumulation zones, sensors, air valves, and brakes.
