Almac Industrial Systems supplies accumulation conveyor solutions that buffer product flow without damaging loads or starving downstream equipment. Systems are custom-engineered for everything from a few kilos of cartons or totes to several tonnes of pallets, drums, or steel components.
Low-Pressure and Zero-Pressure Designs
Depending on the application, Almac can provide minimum pressure accumulation, using carefully controlled drive and brake settings to keep back pressure low, or true zero-pressure conveyor designs where products never touch while queued. Zone-controlled motors and sensors manage the release of one section at a time, keeping gaps for diverts, merges, and automatic palletizers.
Accumulation for Heavy Pallet Loads
For heavy-duty pallet handling, accumulation conveyors are designed to withstand the forces created when multiple loaded pallets gather in a zone.
Controls and Safety for Queued Product Flow
Chain-driven live roller, multi-strand chain, or timing belt platforms are selected based on load weight, footprint, surface condition, and required speeds, ensuring safe operation and long equipment life in demanding industrial environments.
