ACS Bundle Conveyor can be configured as non-powered, powered, or powered accumulating. Accumulation control is achieved with air-actuated drive belt tension racks that permit precise control of the movement of various size loads. Index control creates zero pressure accumulation.
Rollers are driven by a solid woven polyester belt with PVC coating riding on a center-mounted roller conveyor tension frame with belt tensioning integrated into the drive assembly.
A variety of speeds are available from 40 Feet per Minute (FPM) – 125 FPM (14 Meters per Minute – 38 MPM).
Bundle Conveyor utilizes adjustable support legs with typical Top-of-Roller set at a minimum of 30” (0.94m) to a maximum of 40” (1.25 m). Other heights available upon request.
Bundle Conveyor can be operated manually or integrated into an automated conveyor system.

Hinged Bundle Conveyor offers convenient access through a conveying line eliminating the need for an elevated cross walk.
Two sections can be mounted in opposed positions to double the pass-through space.
This device utilizes modular POM-D belting on UHMW rail caps to provide a flat and stable load surface.
Height adjustable and can be designed in varying between frame widths making this device easy to integrate into new or existing processes.
The small nosing radius at each end of the device makes this conveyor ideal for smaller bundles/loads.
Hinged Bundle Conveyor is compatible with other ACS conveyor or with all competitors’ conveyor.
Hinged Bundle Conveyor can be operated manually or integrated into an automatic conveyor system.

Based on the ACS Stedi-Stak, a state-of-the-art modular plastic chain conveyor system, the Bundle Hold-Down Conveyor compresses loads while providing a solid traveling surface in a variety of processes.
Bundle Hold-Down Conveyor can be integrated into strapping operations, used to maintain pressure on product stacks to allow additional time for adhesives to setup in folding carton applications or other processes where maintaining bundle integrity and load stability is needed.
Each section of the Bundle Hold-Down Conveyor is powered independently to allow for simultaneous stack movement and load building.

Designed using an acetal QNB modular roller ball belt atop a slider bed equipped with a solid, smooth top synthetic belt, the Ball Top Bundle Conveyor is designed to be used as an ejector, quickly moving bundles onto an adjacent perpendicular line when signaled.
The top belt provides a stable platform for unit loads.
The small nosing radius at each end of the conveyor section make this device ideal for smaller loads.
With height-adjustable frame supports, Ball Top Bundle Conveyor is compatible with different styles of bundle conveyor and can be used with existing or new ACS conveyors and all competitors’ conveyors.

The Right Angle Transfer is a self-contained device placed at a corner intersection to square loads before discharging the bundles 90° from the upstream flow.
A mesh-type conveyor belt with imbedded rollers mounted at a 45° angle to the belt direction of travel is used to propel the load to the backstop for squaring.
The Right Angle Transfer features a “Soft Catch” option that can be turned on or off. Air cylinders behind the backstop are used to cushion the impact of the load by retracting at 1/2 the speed of the infeed belt maintaining the integrity of bundles/stacks not yet strapped.
Right Angle Transfers are fully automated to provide rapid cycle times.

The ACS Bundle Centering Device uses a pneumatically actuated centering head assembly suspended beneath a support frame with height-adjustable frame supports. This allows the centering head plates to operate close to the conveyor bed maintaining stack integrity.
Overall stroke of the centering heads can be easily adjusted to optimize cycle times when changing from large width to small width bundles.
For roller conveyor applications, available scalloped centering head plates are designed to intermesh with conveyor rollers maintaining stack integrity.
An optional pneumatic load stop can be mounted beneath the conveyor bed to both square and hold bundles in position while being brought to the conveyor centerline.
The ACS Bundle Centering Device can be used with new or existing ACS Roller or Stedi-Stack Bundle Conveyor and all competitors’ conveyors.

Custom design characteristics can be engineered to suit specific application requirements.
With height-adjustable frame supports, the Bundle Sweep Device is mounted above the conveyor bed. It can be configured and controlled for 90° transfer of loads off the main line either left and/or right onto adjacent conveyor.
Powered using an electric servo motor and belt-drive linear actuator
The ACS Bundle Sweep Device is compatible with different styles of bundle conveyor and can be used with existing or new ACS conveyors and all competitors’ conveyors.

The Bundle Transfer Device is used to move loads off the side of a conveyor. The belts are normally below the surface of the rollers. When activated, they are raised and the load is transferred via the belts to an adjacent conveyor or device.
Bundle Transfers, unlike some transfer devices do not have a return stroke. Thus the cycle time is lower than other transfer devices.
A Bundle Transfer Device can be configured to automatically handle “logs” or multiple cut stacks coming off the top knife.
Small nose radius belts which protrude through the side frame minimize the “dead zones” commonly found between other transfer devices. Transfer belt spacing combined with small nosing radii make the Bundle Transfer ideal for use as a Small Product Conveyance device.
Bundle Transfers can be operated manually or integrated into an automatic conveyor system. A control console is provided for safety functions, manual operation and selection of automatic modes of operation.

Scissors Lift Tables elevate, lower, position and transport a wide variety of loads, preventing repetitive stress injuries for workers and increasing productivity.
Scissors Lift Tables are available in an assortment of sizes and load capacities, and can be fitted with a variety of ACS conveyor modules including Stedi-Stak Conveyor, Roller Conveyor, etc. LIfts can be installed in pits to maintain Top-of-Roller heights to adjacent conveyor.
Photo sensor-managed optional lift controls can continuously adjust table to keep consistent, ergonomically-correct height for manual loading and unloading.
Lift tables can be operated manually or integrated into an automatic conveyor system. A control console is provided for safety functions, manual operation and selection of automatic modes of operation.
Lift bases provided by Southworth Products Corp., widely acknowledged as the leading maker of hydraulic lifts. Southworth machines are rugged and reliable and are designed for years of trouble-free service.

The ACS Tilt Table Packout Station can be used with existing or new ACS conveyors and all competitors’ conveyors.

The tilting fork assembly is raised and lowered using a foot-operated pneumatic cylinder to facilitate safe and efficient positioning of master cartons.
Design utilizes adjustable box positioners to accommodate various width master cartons.
Factory installed pneumatic system.
Available Optional Box Side Guides mount to adjacent conveyor. The two-piece design allows manual adjustment suitable for any size product. These guides use a series of plastic skate wheels to direct product to the centerline of adjacent conveyor following release from the Tilt Table Packout Station.
