Glide-Line ZP zero pressure.jpg

Glide-Line's Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor is a gentler, more reliable and energy efficient conveyor solution by eliminating 100% of product contact and backpressure caused by accumulation. With traditional conveyors, there is often backpressure from upstream pallets, motors running continuously, unnecessary wear and tear on the entire system and continuously running the conveyors which wastes energy.

New Call-to-action

 

With Glide-Line’s new Zero Contact Zoned Conveyor, motors only run when a product approaches and has a permissive from downstream, maintaining a gap between products so no backpressure is created. Accumulation zones are powered by a 24VDC brushless motor and can handle loads up to 200 lbs. each.

 

Key Benefits of Zero Contact Zoned Conveyors:

  • Energy Savings… energy savings can range from 20-40% per year 
  • Gentle product handling… non contact is the most gentle way to handle your product
  • Reliability… fewer parts, no oil or gears, one moving parts in motor. No motor maintenance required on motor.

Key Features:

  • Gentle, more reliable and energy efficient conveyor solution
  • 24V brushless DC motors are maintenance free and virtually noise free
  • Certified for use in clean room environments
  • Built in driver cards with zero pressure logic and I/O points
  • Can handle loads up to 200 lbs per zone.
  • Bearings in motors have 300,000 hour lifespan
  • All maintenance operations including belt changes can be performed from the top eliminating the need to disassemble or remove ancillary equipment
  • Highly configurable
  • T5 timing style conveyor belts for positive drive and precision positioning ability
  • Extruded aluminum construction with standard 10mm T-slots

“IMPACTwas easy to launch and update. It quickly led me in the direction I needed to define my design. I love having dead accurate CAD files with high detail. IMPACT takes it one step further in that I don’t have to re-download every time I have to make a change. I love having native Solidworks files to integrate into my designs.”
