The Alpine Conveyor is a compact spiral configuration commonly used as an accumulation or elevating buffer zone between machines or as a process step for cooling or drying. It can also be used for line balancing or product changeover purposes. Alpines can be configured as an elevating/ lowering system with a single or double serpentine configuration. Uses include an in-line accumulator with entry and exit at different levels, or an in-line or off-line accumulator with entry and exit at the same level.

Possible Applications :

Product buffering during machine maintenance

Use of vertical space when there is not enough floor space to accumulate more product

Product movement at different levels

Downstream product flow avoiding a bottleneck in your process

Drying, cooling & curing time

Product being produced needs more time for process or testing

Product cycling/batching or to store product while another is being dispatched

Reduce the forces working on a product when accumulating

Serves as a walk thru/line access for product to divert onto
