The accumulation roller conveyor can both transport items and temporarily store them on the conveyor line, preventing further transport of items, thus adjusting the spacing or speed of the items. The items transported cannot be too small. The driving method can be an electric motor or an electric roller, and the accumulation method can be achieved through electrical control or by means of stop blocks.

The Accumulating Roller Conveyor is a conveying machine made from accumulating rollers. The difference between the accumulating roller and the ordinary roller lies in the connection method between the driving gear and the roller body itself. Ordinary rollers use a fixed connection, while accumulating rollers use a movable connection. When accumulating goods, it is the gear that rotates, not the roller body itself; with ordinary rollers, both rotate together.

The accumulation roller conveyor not only possesses the general conveying capacity of rollers but also allows items to stop and accumulate on the roller conveyor while the drive operates normally, with no significant increase in conveying resistance. It is particularly suitable for sections where items need to temporarily pause and accumulate within the roller conveyor line. There are two common types of accumulation roller conveyors: limited-force and disconnect point control. Therefore, according to the specific requirements, it is necessary to select the output form with a power-driven system.
