MCL is a premier provider of accumulation conveyor systems in New Zealand and further abroad, offering a wide range of solutions designed to optimise productivity, reliability and efficiency across many different industries. 

Accumulation conveyors are essential for managing product flow and buffering in distribution centres, end of line packaging systems and production lines, ensuring smooth and efficient operation within your facility. With our expertise and dedication to quality, you can trust us to deliver custom accumulation conveyor solutions that always meet the specific needs of your operation.

A high level of integration and control is required to ensure the peak performance of accumulation conveyors. MCL works alongside its system integrator, OEM and automation partners to produce outcomes that deliver results that will improve your bottom line.

Accumulation conveyors and their importance

Accumulation conveyors play a vital role in various industries by temporarily storing products during manufacturing or packaging processes. They help manage the flow of items, reduce bottlenecks and maintain a consistent production rate. 

Whether you need live roller or belted, curved or straight, fixed or dynamic zones; accumulation conveyors can be configured to your specific layout or product flow needs - improving downstream processes and minimising product loss through accurate buffering and programmable releases utilising different options as follows:

  • Zero pressure: Conveyors consist of multiple zones which can be independently controlled to slow, stop or restart as required - with photo eye sensors ensuring the correct spacing and speed to prevent pile ups and damage to products. A flexible solution, ensuring contact is not made between products during accumulation, zero pressure works with various product sizes, fixed or dynamic zones, and various release methods - to singulate, build slugs or cascade items.
  • Minimum or medium pressure conveyors: Used to transport products of a consistent size and weight.  Normally utilising a belt-driven roller conveyor with adjustment which allows the speed of rollers to be increased or decreased to ensure products don’t get crushed or jammed.
  • Custom accumulation conveyors: Looking for a specific design option that doesn't align with standard applications? MCL’s specific design solutions offer a tailor made solution that is built specifically for your operational requirements.

Applications of accumulation conveyors

These conveyors are used to temporarily hold products in a buffer zone to manage and regulate the flow rate, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring a smooth, continuous operation. 

These systems are ideal for managing overflow in high-speed production lines, synchronising different stages of the manufacturing process, and providing controlled release of items to downstream operations.
