Re-Flow Accumulation Conveyor Table

Utilizing a small footprint with a large storage capacity, Nercon’s re-flow accumulation conveyor table has the ability to accumulate and single file. The accumulation of products during downstream equipment shut down is critical to overall production efficiency. The unique single filing concept of the re-flow accumulator ensures smooth, jam-free combining of products both round and irregular shaped. The recirculating design relieves back pressure in the combining area, and aids in overall accumulation pressure relief. The offset pressure relief designed into the single filing area will allow a single row of products to continue through the discharge. If more than a single row of products is present in the single filing area, they are crowded onto the return flow side of the table and recirculate to be accumulated or single filed for discharge.

The uniqueness of the re-flow accumulation table is in the handling of irregular shaped products. Angled rails align the long axis of the product in the direction of travel. The single filer area is set to allow the short axis of the product to pass through. A rotating assist wheel helps align the product to the correct orientation. The offset pressure relief designed into the single filing area will allow a single row of products to continue through the discharge. If more than a single row of products are present in the single filing area, they are crowded onto the return flow side of the table and re-circulate to accumulation area or single filed for discharge.
