Flex Flow Accumulator

The Flex Flow Accumulator operates on the concept of an expandable travel path which automatically changes length to match fluctuations in production. Reducing downtime of the generating unit, the Flex Flow increases overall production efficiency and operating profits. The in-line accumulation delivers a more consistent product flow to downstream equipment which in turn increases the operational reliability of these production line machines.

Side transfer is required at two points, at the in-feed and at the discharge. At all other corners the product is driven around the radius, preventing locking or wedging. Product is carried on one continuous crescent style chain, ensuring the production line backpressure is non-existent, which prevents product damage.

Use Cases

The Flex Flow Accumulator is utilized to accumulate odd product shapes that require gentle handling and low back pressure. It is also used by manufacturers needing exact FIFO (First-In, First-Out) sequence for lot tracking. This In-line accumulation method delivers a constent product flow to downstream equipment and is best used for short down-times.

Industry Applications

  • Food Packaging
  • Beverage
  • Household
  • Light Industrial

 



A moveable slide assembly increases or decreases the travel length of the product in the accumulator.
