Zero Pressure Conveyor

Zero pressure conveyors offer the control, reliability and automation of a start/stop action. This allows your system to automate start/stop conveyor units. Zero pressure conveyors can be installed within your existing system or integrated in other Keymas products or a total systems solution. The conveyor is fitted with motorised driving rollers along its length to enable the loads to be automatically controlled in ‘zero pressure zones’. The stop / start action of these motors is automatically controlled by photocells fitted adjacent to each motor that send information to the onboard ASI control system. As the loads are conveyed along the conveyor, the photocells inform the control system that product is present. The control unit then checks that the forward zone is unoccupied. If the zone is clear, the downstream motor starts thus enabling the product to be passed forward where the action is repeated. If however, the downstream zone is occupied then the control system stops the motor immediately under the product until the downstream zone is clear.
