Zone Accumulating Zero Pressure Conveyors.
Zero pressure accumulation — product never contacts adjacent product under pressure. Ten models available.
All Zero Pressure Accumulating Models.
When a zone is occupied, the upstream zone stops completely. Products never touch under pressure. Critical for fragile cartons, totes, and cases.

Zero-pressure accumulation, also called ZPA, is used when cartons, totes, cases, pallets, or unit loads must queue without damaging contact pressure.

Zero-Pressure Accumulation Questions.
Zero-pressure accumulation stops an occupied zone so upstream products queue without pushing against each other. It is used to reduce product damage and control flow.
ZPA keeps products separated with no contact pressure, while minimum-pressure accumulation allows controlled light contact and can be a more economical option when product damage risk is low.
Yes. ACSI manufactures pallet accumulation conveyor models for heavier loads, including air-operated and photo-eye controlled systems.
MDR, or motorized driven roller conveyor, is often considered for quieter, energy-efficient, modular accumulation of cartons, totes, and cases.
