Accumulation conveyors offer a means of holding on to products on the conveyor until given a signal to release the items. Typical applications consist of feeding product to a device such as a case sealer at a specified rate, or to hold all items to be shipped on a particular truck until that truck is in a position to be loaded

TSM Houston offers all types of custom accumulation conveyors with different speeds, back pressures, V-belts, flat belts, low-to the ground models, etc. Advanced technology can utilize electronic control for “zero pressure” models. Some models even specialize in processes that use sensors that load zones, keep “trailing” zones and filling empty zones.

So is it time for your company to make an upgrade to accumulation conveyors? Taking advantage of new systems and technology is one of the many ways to increase productivity and profit in your production line, and accumulation conveyors can offer that.

Today’s accumulation conveyors and sortation systems offer benefits unavailable just a few years ago. Distribution systems now perform at levels far surpassing their predecessors. Using TSM Houston’s custom accumulation conveyors, product density can be increased as required, and system throughput can be increased considerably. More importantly, if larger cartons are brought in after the installation, the flexible technology saves the process from becoming obsolete.

Of course, installing accumulation conveyors does not avoid the necessary considerations for performance, maintenance, vertical and horizontal integration, proper belting, etc. that your current conveyor systems require. However, TSM Houston understands that providing accumulation conveyors is all about growing system performance meeting the needs of today’s distribution centre – and being ready for the distribution centre of the future.
