Efficient Conveying with Low-Pressure Accumulation

Line shaft conveyors provide an efficient way to move lightweight products through your facility while accommodating changes in direction, accumulation, and product flow.

✓ Low-Pressure Accumulation: Accumulate products with reduced contact pressure to minimize damage.
✓ Energy-Efficient Operation: Drive multiple rollers from a single motor to reduce power requirements.
✓ Flexible Conveyor Layouts: Accommodate curves, spurs, and different conveyor configurations within your available space.
✓ Simplified Maintenance: Modular components and accessible drive mechanisms make routine maintenance and repairs easier.

Line Shaft Conveyor Configurations

Line shaft conveyors can accommodate changes in direction, product routing, and accumulation without requiring separate drive motors for every conveyor section.

  • Straight Conveyor Sections: Transport products along straight paths between workstations, packaging equipment, and other conveyor sections.

  • Curved Conveyor Sections: Move products around corners while maintaining continuous flow through your conveyor system.

  • Spurs & Merges: Connect multiple conveyor paths to direct products between processing areas and main conveyor lines.

  • Low-Pressure Accumulation: Allow products to queue before downstream operations while reducing contact pressure between items.
