ZiPline Conveyor- Zero Pressure Accumulation

Blue Arc Engineering is proud to announce the next generation of zero pressure belt accumulating conveyor. This brand new, low profile conveyor utilizes a 24 VDC brushless drive motor, which makes for a very energy efficient conveyor. The conveyor consists of a series of belted zones that interact with one another to accomplish zero pressure accumulation.

  • Real time diagnostics, variable speed, force run/stop, direction, and zone control can be controlled through iPhone App, PC or PLC
  • Accumulates up inclines and down declines up to 20°
  • 40% energy reduction over a standard conveyor (based on 1/2 HP motor running continuously)
  • Extremely quiet operations, less than 58 db (60db = normal conversation)
  • Conveys very small (3" width x 4" length) to very large products simultaneously
  • Low profile 4" aluminum extruded side channels
  • Product jams and side-by-side products are eliminated with a premium belt surface
  • Exceptionally reliable and rated for over 10 years Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF)
  • Dynamic zoning capability
  • System installation and maintenance costs reduced by using same Ethernet IP for all supporting devices

Zero Pressure Accumulation Conveyor Applications

  • 40% energy reduction over a standard conveyor
  • Conveys very small (3" width x 4" length) to very large products simultaneously
  • Low profile 4" vertical aluminum extruded side channels
  • Extremely quiet operations, less than 58 db
  • Product jams and side by side products are eliminated with a premium belt surface
  • Exceptionally reliable and rated for over 10 years MTBF
  • Accumulation up inclines and down declines
  • Modular for virtual and dynamic zone lengths
  • Drives shut down when there is no product present to save energy
  • 60% lighter weight per linear foot allows quicker and easier installation
  • Configurable zone lengths to optimize for any application

Zero Pressure Accumulation Conveyor Applications

  • Small item conveyence
  • Small items accumulated with larger items
  • Polytier applications where low profile conveyor is critical for ergonomics
  • Low elevation applications
  • Ideal for all types of case or package accumulation
  • Accumulating shipping lanes
  • Multi-tiered conveyors where low vertical profile conveyors are critical
  • Accumulation upstream of sawtooth merges for sortation systems
  • Accumulation on inclines and declines: packing and shipping lanes
