Accumulation

Accumulation systems help to maximize production line efficiencies.  Most all production lines have bottlenecks and it is the bottleneck that requires the attention of how to plan for accumulation.  If other machine downtime causes the bottleneck to shut down, the production line will benefit from accumulation.  Should any downstream machine be capable of a higher production rates than the previous machine in the line, accumulation should be considered.

When evaluating accumulation requirements, the accumulation size should be equal to or somewhat greater than the machine with the longest mean time to repair (MTTR).  If you do not plan enough accumulation, the production line efficiency will be affected which requires everything to run longer to make daily production goals.  Addressing the accumulation requirements for your specific production line needs should be done in the planning stage, too often accumulation becomes a point of conversation after a production line installation.  With all accumulation systems, space claim is a requirement not matter what the style of accumulation.

Pallet Handling System

Our pallet handling chain driven roller systems are unique in the fact that they are based on the 24 vdc motor driven roller technology. This is truly a “green” design which helps reduce energy costs in comparison to conventional chain driven roller systems which use AC gear motors to power the rollers. Installation is also made simple in the fact that all the communications and power are tied together zone by zone. Our system incorporates all the supporting features for a complete and integrated pallet system. Listed are just some of the features that we offer.
 

• Transportation/Accumulation roller sections
• 1.9” & 2.5” diameter roller systems
• Pallet loads up to 4000 lbs
• Pneumatic pop-up chain transfers
• Manual pick stations for fork trucks
• SGV pick stations with pop-up chain transfers
• Pallet squaring devices
• Motorized swing gate for fork truck access
• Turntables
• Pallet tracking throughout the line
• Bar code scanning system for pallet identification
• Complete control system
