2020 LAUGHLIN 6′ x 12′ STAINLESS REFLOW SURGE ACCUMULATION TABLE

A reflow surge accumulation table is a specialized conveyor designed to accumulate products temporarily during downtime or process changes, ensuring smooth product flow and preventing bottlenecks. It recirculates products back onto the line once downstream conditions are ready, preventing jams and optimizing production efficiency. Here’s a more detailed explanation: Function: Accumulation: The table acts as a buffer, storing products when the downstream process is temporarily unavailable. Recirculation: When the downstream process is ready, the table recirculates the accumulated products back onto the line in a single file, preventing jams and ensuring smooth flow. Single File Orientation: Many designs ensure that products are oriented in a single file, preventing jams and ensuring that products are delivered to the downstream process in a controlled manner. Pressure Relief: The table’s design often includes features to relieve backpressure, preventing products from piling up and potentially damaging them. Adaptability: Some tables are designed to handle various product shapes and sizes, including round, oblong, and square containers. Benefits: Smooth Line Flow: The accumulation and recirculation features ensure that the main production line operates smoothly even during temporary downtime or changeovers. Reduced Downtime: By accumulating products, the table can reduce the impact of downstream downtime on the entire production line. Improved Efficiency: The table helps to optimize the flow of products, leading to increased overall production efficiency. Minimized Damage and Waste: By preventing jams and ensuring smooth flow, the table can help to minimize product damage and waste. Types: Recirculating Tables: These tables use a recirculating belt or chain to move products, allowing them to be accumulated and then recirculated back onto the line. Rotary Tables: These tables use a rotating mechanism to accumulate and feed products, often used for unscrambling or accumulating products. Spiral Tables: These tables use a spiral system to accumulate and feed products, often used for unstable or high-speed applications.
