Alpine conveyors / spiral conveyors / accumulating conveyors
moduflex Alpine conveyors for accumulating and buffering conveyed goods in the tightest of spaces. This allows you to optimise your production processes on your production lines for maximum performance.
Slow down: Accumulation conveyor systems
What an accumulation conveyor system can do
A jam doesn't always have to be bad! If planned correctly, it can also be the solution in your production process that has a positive overall effect on your process.
As an engineer or production manager, you can use our accumulating conveyors to create buffer and accumulation zones in your production. What we at modular automation call an accumulation conveyor system is perhaps also known to you as a spiral accumulator or spiral conveyor. In some places, however, accumulation conveyor systems are also known as serpentine conveyors, spiral accumulation conveyors or Alpine conveyors.
If you are also looking for a technology that provides you with buffer or accumulation zones in the production process, modular automation is the right address for you.

Flexibility and autonomy thanks to Alpine conveyor
Create flexibility and autonomy for yourself and increase your overall efficiency.
Our accumulating conveyor systems allow you to pass through or drive through the production line. This is made possible by the serpentine design of the accumulation conveyor systems: Your products are accumulated over a longer conveyor section in a very confined space so that your production can then pick up speed again.
At modular automation, we distinguish between two types of accumulating conveyors:
Inline accumulation conveyor
Inline accumulation conveyors are always integrated into the conveyor line. Here, your goods are transported continuously through the conveyor section of the accumulation conveyor.
Bypass accumulation conveyor:
The bypass accumulation conveyor is an optional conveyor section that is connected to the conveyor line. It is only filled with transported goods if they are to be accumulated. This may be the case in the event of a machine breakdown, for example.
You can rely on these advantages with Alpine Conveyor, even in your industry:
