AmbaFlex, Inc.
AmbaFlex’s AccuVeyor accumulation systems are designed for balancing the speed differences in a production line, processing products by time delay or buffering items offline in an intermittent process. In- or offline accumulating products include the AccuVeyor AVh, designed to overcome the disadvantages of traditional spiral accumulators. Products remain untouched on the line and do not even change tracks, remaining on the same portion of conveyor belt, in between infeed and outfeed. The AccuVeyor AVl, based around one flexible conveyor belt, is a fully dynamic accumulator suited for various applications that allows for the absorption and release of items between processes without any interruption. The AccuVeyor AVs Series is designed to save space using either time delay or a medium pressure accumulation approach.

CMCO Conveyance Solutions
Garvey accumulation systems from CMCO Conveyance Solutions are designed to eliminate bottlenecks and product damage by enabling smooth, continuous product flow across high-speed production lines. Capable of handling up to 800 units per minute, these systems support a wide range of applications—from delicate pharmaceutical vials to beverage containers—while maintaining precision and product integrity. Their compact, space-efficient designs, including vertical accumulation options, help maximize floor space while reducing operational costs through simple, low-maintenance construction. Solutions like the Bi-Flo™ series create efficient buffer zones in tight footprints using opposing conveyor movement, while the Infinity™ series, designed for industries ranging from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals, leverages patented loop technology to deliver zero back pressure, preventing breakage and label damage at speeds up to 600 bottles per minute. For more complex needs such as food processors running high-speed lines, the 3D Infinity™ Accumulator combines accumulation with product orientation and multi-lane single filing, ensuring flexible, high-performance handling across industries.

FlexLink Systems, Inc.
Accumulating and buffer conveyors from FlexLink feature Dynamic Motion Transfer (DMT™), allowing for balanced flows at up to 1000 products/min. The intelligent features of the diverter enable a demand driven production with optimized conveyor and machine speeds. It is suitable for a wide range of products including sensitive, flexible packaging. The spiral shaped accumulating conveyor (alpine conveyor) functions as an accumulation/buffer zone between machines. It can also be used as an in-process step, e.g. for cooling or drying, or simply to elevate and lower products. This type of accumulating conveyors are used inline or as a bypass. The accumulation buffer track is typically used in testing and sorting applications.

Intralox
Spiral conveyors are critical pieces of equipment for many industries, especially food processing and container manufacturing. The right spiral solution can bring efficiency to conditioning processes like freezing, cooling, or proofing; the wrong solution can bring your entire line to a halt. Intralox’s modular plastic spiral conveyor belts and solutions help minimize expensive, unscheduled production downtime; eliminate complicated repair work and overcome product quality and orientation challenges.

ITW Hartness
ITW Hartness is a supplier of FIFO pressure-free accumulation solutions, offering a diverse portfolio of single file, mass flow, floor level, and helical variants with a consultative approach. Single file, pressureless accumulation systems include the DYNAC 6900 series for high-speed lines, featuring a circular footprint and the DYNAC 6400 series with a narrow smallest width for challenging line configurations. Mass flow accumulation systems include the Dynac 7100 in four configurations. For comb line layout, the DYNAC 7100 floor-level features sequential mass flow accumulation. For in-line layout, DYNAC 7100FT dynamic buffer provides greater accumulation than conveyors in a similar footprint. In addition, ITW Hartness’ Dual-outfeed DYNAC 7100FT is capable of feeding multiple machine centers in a compressed line layout.

Nercon Conveyor Systems
Nercon’s conveyor accumulation conveyors include the Re-Flow, Rotary, and Flex Flow tables. Designed as a buffer zone, these accumulation conveyors allow the upstream and downstream applications to work independently of each other to maintain efficient production output. When downstream production reaches capacity or needs to be shutdown, the accumulation conveyor maintains production throughput as upstream products recirculate until downstream capacity can accept products.
