Controlled Flow Gravity Conveyors

TGW-ERMANCO'S controlled flow gravity conveyor is a non-powered, declined accumulation conveyor that utilizes brakes, sensors, and pneumatic components to provide reliable, efficient accumulation.

Ideal Application
Minimum-pressure accumulation for stable products or non-contact accumulation for delicate products. Also appropriate for maximizing accumulation without powered conveyor when an elevation change is required.

Performance Parameters

• Minimum product length: 9"
• Certain rollers in each 10' frame may require high-friction coating for effective braking
• Steel channel with pad used to stop coated rollers
• Mechanical or electronic sensors with valving to control speed of product descent and facilitate accumulation

Key Benefits

• Economical
• Easy to install
• Uses mechanical or electronic sensing to detect wide product range
• Eliminates decline belt conveyors, providing best value
• Eliminates control, installation, and power costs associated with motors
• Rollers rotated only by product movement, keeping noise to a minimum
• Fail-safe, spring-loaded air brakes in each zone hold product if air pressure is lost
