Controlled Flow Gravity ConveyorTGW's controlled flow gravity conveyor is a non-powered, declined accumulation conveyor that utilizes brakes, electronic sensors, and pneumatic components to provide reliable, efficient accumulation.
Ideal Application
Minimum-pressure accumulation for stable products or non-contact accumulation for delicate products. Also appropriate for maximizing accumulation without powered conveyor when an elevation change is required.
Performance Parameters
- Minimum product length: 6"
- Pneumatic brakes used to stop rollers
- Electronic sensors with valving to control speed of product descent and facilitate accumulation
Key Benefits
- Economical
- Easy to install
- No minimum product weight restriction
- Declining accumulation
- Eliminates control, installation, and power costs associated with motors
- Rollers rotated only by product movement, keeping noise to a minimum
- Fail-safe, spring-loaded air brakes in each zone hold product if air pressure is lost
