On-Demand Distribution System

Garvey’s new on-demand distribution system, which was debuted during PACK EXPO Las Vegas, transfers products to parallel stations with no stopping, no waiting, and no downtime.

To speed up production lines, many manufacturers employ parallel stations at one or more steps in the process. This approach allows faster processing than a strictly linear configuration, but there is a commonly overlooked inefficiency on these production lines: the system used to transfer the products from a mass flow to the parallel stations.

The current solution in most plants is a metering system in which products move along a conveyor, stopping at each station in turn until they find an open one. This is equivalent to driving down a street and hitting a red light at every intersection—eventually, you’ll get where you’re going, but it can take a long time. In addition, if one of the parallel processing machines goes down, it results in the stoppage of the entire line, like a red light that never turns green.

Garvey Accumulators and Conveyors' new solution, which was debuted during PACK EXPO Las Vegas, turns that street into a superhighway. By leveraging our patented accumulation technology, we’ve developed a new on-demand distribution system that transfers products from a mass flow to parallel stations with no stopping, no waiting, and no downtime.
