The system maximizes carton control and enables dramatic throughput increases for zero-pressure accumulation conveyor applications. Its patented “neighborhood mode” feature provides unprecedented carton control, slowing down product before accumulation to minimize damage, carton rotation and side-by-sides. With the ability to control the speed within each accumulation zone, ZoneFlex Advanced incrementally slows product down before accumulation, allowing the conveyor to run at faster than typical speeds, thereby increasing throughput by as much as 45%. Clip-in mounting, easy configuration and LED diagnostics simplify start up and maintenance.
Intelligrated: Zone controller for accumulation conveyors
ZoneFlex Advanced is an upgraded flexible zone control for the company’s Accuglide and IntelliQ zero-pressure accumulation conveyors; system monitors and automatically responds to changing accumulation conditions to optimize product flow of varied package types, sizes and weights with maximum control.
