Storage/buffer tables
Buffer tables belong to the area storage systems and are also known as storage tables, accumulation tables, area buffers or buffer conveyors. They are surface buffers and are therefore an alternative to line buffers (accumulation conveyors/spiral conveyors).
- Areas of application
- stowing, buffering, creating autonomy
- Also known as
- Accumulation table, buffer table, surface storage, surface buffer, storage system
This is where stowage takes place: Buffer tables
What surface storage systems can do
Where product sequence is less important, area storage systems are popular collection points. If you are a responsible engineer looking for a buffer table for your production and assembly line, modular automation is an excellent solution. We know and master surface storage systems, regardless of the name by which they are known in the industrial environment. From the storage table to the accumulation table, the area buffer or the buffer conveyor belt - we focus on your storage solution and on ensuring that it does what it is supposed to do: Unlocking potential for optimisable processes and reliability.
moduflex storage tables: quality and customised solutions
The basis for the excellent quality and long-term operation of our area storage solutions is their specification and the first-class component quality of our modular conveyor systems and conveyor belt solutions. Based on this - and on the experience gained from countless customer projects - we build your customised buffer table, which accumulates at the right time and in the right place to make the overall process even more efficient.
From the moduflex modular system to your customised storage system
You too can benefit from our standardised chain conveyor systems and mat chain conveyors from our specially developed modular conveyor technology system. From this, we can develop a customised linear storage table, buffer table or storage table for you.

Advantages of storage tables for your industry
Advantages of buffer/storage tables
You can rely on:
For you as an experienced engineer, the advantages of surface storage systems are on the proverbial buffer table. However, to ensure that we offer you not just any solution, but the perfect one for your process, it is always necessary to look at the overall process. Experience has shown that a buffer table brings you the following added value:
Autonomy in individual processes through buffering on conveyor belt buffer areas
Flexibility in process design through optional placement
Compensation of planned and unplanned short-term machine downtimes
Improvement in machine utilisation through targeted buffer/accumulation zones
Process optimisation through targeted, continuous material flow on your conveyor system
Variability in the process cycle
Precise infeed, precise infeed, outfeed, separation, sorting, distribution and packaging of stable products (also using chicanes)
Safe handling, even with jostling and rotationally symmetrical products
Use of pucks and workpiece carriers for accumulating products that are not stable
Control over the entire process through precise accumulation
Popular in these industries
As individual as your products are, so individual must your processes be. As an established company for modular conveyor systems, our area storage tables can therefore be found in almost all industries:
Automotive industry
Automotive supply industry e.g. battery conveyor systems
Pharmaceutical industry
Food production
Packaging industry
Tobacco industry
and many more
