Can conveyor

ACCS has revolutionized the industry with its latest can conveyor concept. Our air conveyor offers frictionless transfer, specifically designed for large-capacity plastic drums, ranging from 5 to 10 liters.

This innovative device is designed to establish an efficient link between a bottle blow-molder/former and a filler, all at particularly high speeds. Based on the tried-and-tested principle of transferring PET bottles and closures, our conveyor uses the force of air to impart inertia to the cans, enabling them to reach the next machine smoothly.

Featuring strategically positioned side guides, the conveyor prevents tilting on bends and ensures smooth accumulation. A major advantage is that our canister air conveyor is virtually maintenance-free. No chain wear, no friction, and even less risk of breakage.

An infinite number of variations

Versatility is at the heart of our design, offering an infinite range of possibilities. Our system can be easily adapted for other products such as cigarette cartons, tea tins, potato chip tubes, capsules, and many more.

Entrust us with your specific requirements, and we'll carry out an in-depth study to offer you a perfectly adapted solution.

At ACCS, innovation and personalization are at the heart of our commitment to your success.

ACCS specializes in frictionless unit transfer.

Towards a greener transition

With the ecological constraints many manufacturers have turned to new materials for their packaging products. This is not without consequences for line equipment and output. Replacing plastic packaging with solutions made from recycled materials (R-PET or cardboard) can have serious consequences on line yields and equipment maintenance.

Solutions for all types of products:

That's why ACCS offers several solutions for the unit transfer of light loads. These include R-PET recycled plastic bottles, caps, closures, cans and cardboard packaging. For the transfer of light loads, ACCS offers a range of air conveyors for frictionless transfer of unit loads. In particular, the "Flat-track" conveyor replaces chain or cable conveyors with air. The driving force of air enables very high speeds to be achieved without generating friction on the product.

For more conventional equipment, such as mechanical conveyors, ACCS offers "low-friction" chains, and above all Micro-Dry lubrication, which is totally environmentally friendly. The product used to reduce chain friction is DLT-333. It's a totally biodegradable ecological material. It significantly improves line efficiency while reducing maintenance costs. The application system developed by CHP Micro dry not only reduces friction on chains, but also acts inside them. Chain life is extended by 30% and energy consumption is reduced.

Limiting friction on lines is a twofold objective: a response to ecological constraints and a concern for line performance.

ACCS offers visits to measure the coefficient of friction of your equipment.

Air conveyor line audit

Blockages on air conveyors are a scourge: how can they be remedied?

Air conveyors, if misused or poorly maintained, can lead to serious productivity losses. It can also be a source of irritation for line operators.

With over 20 years' experience in air conveyors. ACCS Europe offers its customers a personalized line audit. The aim is to analyze in detail the sources of yield losses and propose solutions to remedy them.

How does a line audit work? Based on a pre-established contract, ACCS Europe carries out a complete diagnosis of the air conveyor installations on a typical production day. Based on observation during 7 hours of production, a technician will first take a reading of the bottle flow. He will note the points of blockage, the frequency of incidents, and the reaction time of operators to intervene. He will then go into greater detail, analyzing the conveyor's mechanical structure. He'll note any faults or maladjustments. Finally, he will analyze the automation process and speed management, observing the filling phases of the line.

At the end of the observation day, an initial discussion takes place with the customer to share observations.

A written report will then be drawn up in the office and sent to the customer. The customer will be provided with all the technical information needed to understand the source of the problem.

Finally, ACCS will propose several areas for improvement to help customers improve their line operation and reduce the number of blockages.

1-2-3 lane conveyor for caps and closures : ACCS Europe

ACCS Ibero has developed a new type of air conveyor for its customer Philip Morris. The aim of the project is to replace cable conveyors, which generate numerous technical problems. The other challenge of this project is to feed 6 cigarette carton packaging lines with the same equipment.

ACCS rose to the challenge: its sleek design, high performance and compact footprint convinced Philip Morris to adopt one of the ACCS group's latest innovations.

The cartridge conveyor has 6 lanes, fed simultaneously by fans distributed evenly along the line. Adjustable side guides channel the cartridges and guide them to distribution "chutes".

Low maintenance costs are also a major argument in favor of the cartridge air conveyor solution. Since there is very little friction, there is very little wear and tear on mechanical components.
