CONTROLLED FLOW GRAVITY CONVEYOR

The ontrolled flow gravity conveyor is a non-powered, declined accumulation conveyor that utilizes brakes, sensors, and pneumatic components to provide reliable, efficient accumulation.


Ideal Application

Minimum-pressure accumulation for stable products or non-contact accumulation for delicate products. Also appropriate for maximizing accumulation without powered conveyor when an elevation change is required.


Performance Parameters

  • Minimum product length: 9"
  • Certain rollers in each 10' frame may require high-friction coating for effective braking
  • Steel channel with pad used to stop coated rollers
  • Mechanical or electronic sensors with valving to control speed of product descent and facilitate accumulation

Gravity Conveyor Key Benefits

  • Economical
  • Easy to install
  • Uses mechanical or electronic sensing to detect wide product range
  • Eliminates decline belt conveyors, providing best value
  • Eliminates control, installation, and power costs associated with motors
  • Rollers rotated only by product movement, keeping noise to a minimum
  • Fail-safe, spring-loaded air brakes in each zone hold product if air pressure is lost
