Motorized twin-rail overhead chain conveyor for load accumulation

GENERAL PRESENTATION of the Boréal bi-rail overhead accumulation conveyor The Boréal bi-rail overhead conveyor is an automated system for transporting and handling light loads. This conveyor is used to convey parts between workstations and production islands within an industrial production area. The special feature of this product transport system is its ability to accumulate loads. The parts to be transported are suspended from trolleys, load bars or spreaders, which are driven by the conveyor chain. What's special about accumulation? In overhead handling, accumulation is a technology that makes each product independent. Accumulating loads on a conveyor enables parts to be stored and redistributed in different areas of an industry, all without taking up floor space! Accumulating products overhead enables each link in a production line to be made independent.
