Description

Accumulation Chain, also known as zero-pressure accumulation chain or accumulating Conveyor Chain, is a type of conveyor chain used in material handling systems to create accumulation zones along the conveyor line. It allows products or items to accumulate without causing contact or pressure between them. Here are some key features and characteristics of Accumulation Chains:

Design: Accumulation Chains are designed with built-in rollers or wheels that allow for independent movement of individual conveyor segments. This design enables the creation of accumulation zones where products can accumulate without colliding with each other.

Zero-Pressure Accumulation: The primary purpose of an Accumulation Chain is to minimize contact or pressure between products during the accumulation process. This helps prevent damage to delicate or fragile items and maintains a smooth flow of materials along the conveyor line.

Zone Control: Accumulation Chains are typically divided into zones along the conveyor line. Each zone has its own motor or drive system, allowing for independent control of accumulation and release of products in that specific section. This zone control enables efficient product flow and eliminates the need for manual intervention.

Sensor Integration: Accumulation Chains often incorporate sensors or photoelectric devices that detect the presence or absence of products in each accumulation zone. These sensors provide feedback to the control system, allowing it to regulate the speed and activation/deactivation of each zone accordingly.

Flexibility and Versatility: Accumulation Chains are available in various configurations to accommodate different product sizes, weights, and conveyor layouts. They can be used in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, distribution centers, packaging, and logistics, to handle items such as boxes, cartons, totes, and more.

Maintenance and Safety: Regular maintenance and inspection of Accumulation Chains are essential to ensure optimal performance and safe operation. This includes periodic lubrication, checking for proper alignment, monitoring sensor functionality, and addressing any potential issues promptly
