Zero-pressure accumulation conveyor maintains gap between products

Glide-Line™ has introduced the ZP zero-pressure accumulation conveyor, which eliminates all back pressure caused by accumulation.

Motors run only when a product approaches and has a permissive from downstream, maintaining a gap between products so no back pressure is created. Each accumulation zone is powered by a 24-VDC brushless motor and can handle loads up to 200 lbs. each. The motors are daisy-chained to one another, and each one uses its own driver card completely with integrated zero-pressure logic, including inputs for local sensors.

Integrated zero-pressure logic enables gentle product handling by turning motors on and off as needed. The brushless DC motors are nearly silent and rated for 300,000 hours each.
