SZD251CDA

Chain Driven Zero Pressure Accumulator Smart Zone® Heavy Duty Conveyor

The SZD251CDA heavy duty chain driven zero pressure accumulator extends Smart Zone® photoelectric sensing to heavy load environments, supporting larger pallets and dense products without requiring minimum weight engagement. Zone singulation with photo sensors prevents back pressure and product contact while enabling heavy duty accumulation operation in demanding material handling systems.

Robust chain drive mechanics and durable frame components provide traction and long-term reliability, while precision bearings and enclosed guard systems support sustained operation under heavy use. This configuration is suitable for industrial, distribution, and manufacturing environments where controlled heavy duty accumulation is required prior to downstream processing, packaging, or sortation operations.

Applications

  • Product buffering between processes
  • Merging and singulation of cartons or totes
  • Accumulation before sortation, labeling, or inspection
  • Controlled release into packaging or palletizing equipment
  • Staging product for shipping and order fulfillment

Industries

  • Distribution and fulfillment operations
  • Manufacturing and assembly lines
  • Packaging and material handling systems
  • Food and beverage processing
  • Automotive and industrial manufacturing
