Conveyors

Alpine Accumulating Conveyor

Alpines are configured in many different footprints and elevation changes. Conventional alpines are made to send product through the alpine and close the gaps during accumulation mode, therefore allowing increased storage onto the conveyor. Advanced designs accumulate with diverters at the infeed to send onto the alpine and when unloading, providing merge systems the ability to handle a wide variety of product.

Numerous types of conveyor chains are used as the application warrants, such as inside a pre-fabricated refrigerated box for cooling applications. Special “y” assemblies are used to eliminate tipping at the transfer points.
