Glide-Line ZP
Glide-Line ZP – zero pressure accumulation conveyor, a gentler, more reliable and energy efficient conveyor solution by eliminating 100% of backpressure caused by accumulation.With traditional conveyors, there is often backpressure from upstream pallets, motors running continuously, unnecessary wear and tear on the entire system and continuously running the conveyors which wastes energy.
With Glide-Line’s new ZP Zero Pressure Accumulation Conveyor, motors only run when a product approaches and has a permissive from downstream, maintaining a gap between products so no backpressure is created. Accumulation zones are powered by a 24VDC brushless motor and can handle loads up to 200 lbs. each.
Key Benefits of Zero Pressure Accumulation:
Energy Savings… energy savings can range from 20-40% per year
Gentle product handling… non contact is the most gentle way to handle your product
Reliability… fewer parts, no oil or gears, one moving parts in motor. No motor maintenance required on motor.
