The SZ251ZPA heavy duty Smart Zone® accumulator is engineered to manage significantly higher loads, accommodating heavy containers, large boxes, and palletized units using zero pressure zone singulation. Photoelectric sensors replace sensor rollers, enabling each accumulation zone to detect product presence without minimum weight limitations and preventing contact between queued products. This design minimizes product damage and improves handling consistency in rugged material handling environments.
The conveyor structure incorporates larger diameter tread rollers and robust bearings suited for heavy applications, along with precise pneumatic actuation for extended zone lengths. Heavy duty construction elements, including a formed steel channel frame and high-capacity drive system, make this conveyor applicable to industrial, distribution, and high-volume handling systems where higher mass handling and controlled accumulation are essential.
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
