Product Information

Unicon VVESS (steel roller type)

Zero pressure accumulation conveyor (for heavy loads)

A completely zero-pressure conveyor that can safely store materials temporarily. It has a built-in control function that accumulates materials by zone and delivers them at a pitch. Ideal for transporting food containers.

Zero pressure accumulation/pitch payout

Because transported items are stored in zone units, zero pressure accumulation is achieved with a gap between the items being transported in front.
When a discharge signal is issued, the items are discharged sequentially, maintaining a distance from the leading item.
