Conveyor systems in Food & Beverage industry (Part two)

sistemas_de_conveyors.pngToday we are going to analyze and learn about innovative tools that will help to make work flow quicker and more reliable in your food & beverage industry. Let’s get started!

Accumulation Conveyors 

These roller or belt accumulation conveyor systems have a very reliable and tested technology.

This kind of conveyor systems is frequently used in the food & beverage industry because they can accumulate products with cero pressure by means of pneumatic or electric systems; in other words, the contact between products is eluded because they are divided by sections. This system is perfect for boxes full of products because their accumulation and transportation is easier.

There is a brand-new kind of conveyors that were created as a technological alternative for energy saving. This equipment has multiple benefits, such as: no air used, they use 24 volts motors, provides mobility by means of rubber bands but it can also use electrical rollers as well as rollers with tension pulleys. These systems are able to transport and accumulate products in order to address shut downs and palletizing processes in which is common to stop the line for introducing products or consumables.

Such technology allows accumulating products throughout the line and therefore, achieving a higher exit rate.

Belt Conveyors

Belt conveyors are used in long production lines with no need of accumulation.

These automated equipment are very common because they can transport hundreds of products from one point to another through a vast length belt. These are perfect if you need to move boxes throughout hundreds of meters. This is an affordable and low-maintenance technology with a standardized system tested in the market for more than 50 years; not to mention that are suitable for work flows of single bottle or full box.

Keep in mind that the conveyor systems improve the order as well as operators and products’ safety, besides of increasing productivity levels of the entire work flow
