FAQ’s About Accumulation Tables
What is an Accumulation Conveyor and How Do They Work?
An accumulation conveyor is designed to temporarily hold or buffer products without stopping the entire production line. It allows products to accumulate in specific areas while upstream or downstream processes catch up. Span Tech’s accumulation conveyors ensure smooth, controlled product flow using low-pressure or zero-pressure accumulation methods, reducing the risk of product damage and minimizing downtime.
What Industries Benefit Most from Accumulation Conveyors?
Span Tech’s accumulation conveyors are versatile and ideal for industries where consistent product flow and reduced bottlenecks are critical. This includes packaging, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution centers. They’re especially useful in applications requiring product buffering, sorting, or temporary storage during process delays or equipment changes.
How do Span Tech Accumulation Tables Prevent Product Damage?
Span Tech’s accumulation conveyors are engineered with gentle handling technology that minimizes pressure between products during accumulation. Features like low-friction chain designs, precise speed control, and customizable accumulation zones ensure products are moved and held securely without impact or crushing—making them perfect for handling fragile, delicate, or irregularly shaped items.
“It made our life a whole lot simpler and easier” when speaking about EZGUIDE Adjustable Guiderail
SpanTech’s EZGuide rail system has greatly improved change over times on our bottle filling line. We fill a wide range of bottle sizes and styles. The EZGuide system makes it easier and quicker to adjust between larger and smaller containers. One great feature is the lack of protruding rods from the sides of the conveyors. We are looking at installing this rail system on more filling lines in the near future.
I feel like Span Tech offered us more diversity, custom conveyors, especially for the products that we run and how we run them.
The sales and service personnel at Span Tech are always very professional and helpful throughout the entire process, from design phase, quoting, order processing and delivery of equipment. Quality equipment, professional service and knowledgeable personnel are why Arr-Tech’s choice for conveyor systems will always be Span Tech.
Paradise Tomato Kitchen has used Span Tech conveyors for our sanitary food pouch conveying systems for many years. These sanitary conveyors have provided the best cost of ownership, or the lowest net present value, of any processing conveyors we have used in our food manufacturing plants. These conveyors are easy to widen, lengthen or design for curves and angles to convey our flexible pouches between unit operations.
The quality of this product speaks for itself. Where the difference lies is in the quality of the organization. The whole Span Tech organization – Sales, Engineering, Service – works to serve customers’ needs, not just sell conveyors.
