The Advance SmartLine™ Tote and Carton Conveyors is an innovative zero-line pressure system (what is zero line pressure?) which is flexible, modular and efficient to run. It is based on 24V DC drives, with options for round and V-belt drives to drive individual zones, and provides cost-effective accumulation and control of cartons/totes for many end-of-line warehousing systems.
The system can be controlled with a variety of integrated modules pre-fitted to run self-contained or on ASI, Profibus, and Profinet, with PLC control. Many control options can be integrated to provide everything from basic routing to unit tracking and reporting, and to support integration with WCS and WMS systems.
SmartLine™ zero line pressure accumulation conveyors fitted with Interroll RollerDrives are extremely energy-efficient, as individual modules run only when product is present. Once the product moves off, the conveyor modules no longer run but remain ready for transporting product.
Compared with this, a typical zero pressure accumulation conveyor with a flat belt or line shaft has much higher energy consumption and noise emissions.
Control options are similar to those in the SmartLine™ Pallet Conveyor and SmartLine™ Stainless Conveyor systems, making it easy to integrate other systems with the pallet conveyor system for a turnkey solution. Additional equipment, such as a tote stacker or destacker can also be manufactured to suit your requirements.
All systems can be fully mechanically and electrically installed by experienced engineers.
