The Challenge

Built for Retail Demands.

ACSI manufactures conveyor equipment for retail distribution centers and parcel operations where cartons, packages, and totes need to move efficiently through receiving, sorting, staging, and shipping areas. We offer both economical gravity conveyor solutions and powered belt and roller systems depending on what each section of your operation requires.

For staging and flow lanes that do not require powered movement, ACSI’s gravity skate wheel and roller conveyor lines are the economical choice. Skate wheel conveyor (zinc-plated steel or aluminum, on 3″ axle centers) handles lighter cartons and packages with minimal rolling resistance. Roller gravity lines in the 138-series (1-3/8″ diameter, 18 gauge) and 190-series (1.9″ diameter, 16 gauge) handle medium-weight cartons. For heavier cases and totes, the 251-series (2-1/2″ diameter, 11 gauge) gravity roller provides the load capacity needed. All gravity lines are available in straight sections with optional curves, spurs, gates, and supports to route product through your floor layout.

ACSI’s Zip Ship program offers standard gravity conveyor models shipped within a few working days — a meaningful advantage when you need to expand shipping capacity or add pick lanes on short notice without a lengthy lead time for custom equipment. Standard skate wheel and roller gravity models in common widths are available through Zip Ship. Contact an ACSI distributor for current Zip Ship model availability and lead times.

For powered sections — induction lines, primary sort feeds, or pack-out conveyors — our LPB medium duty slider bed belt conveyor handles light parcel weights at 60 FPM standard, with variable speed available for applications requiring speed adjustment. The LPB is available in widths from 8″ to 30″ with a 75 lb/ft capacity. For heavier parcel weights, the HPB heavy duty model handles 100 lb/ft at belt widths up to 36″. Both models are available with a range of optional drive configurations.

For zero-pressure accumulation at pack-out stations or before a sortation transfer, our 190MRA MDR conveyor accumulates cartons zone-by-zone without contact pressure — gently queuing product whether the downstream station is busy or the shipping door is closed. Available in 15″ through 33″ belt face widths and speeds from 60 to 200 FPM.

ACSI partners with a network of material handling distributors to help you specify and deliver the right combination of gravity, powered, and accumulating conveyor equipment for your operation. Standard catalog models, factory options, and custom-engineered equipment for non-standard requirements are all available.

Steel and aluminum skate wheel gravity conveyor for light cartons and packages. Minimal rolling resistance, no power required. Available in standard widths with curves, spurs, gates, and support options. Zip Ship models available.

Gravity Roller

138-series through 251-series gravity roller for medium to heavy cartons and totes. Multiple roller diameters and gauges. Curves, spurs, ball transfer tables, and accessories available.

Powered Belt

LPB (75 lb/ft, 8″–30″ wide) and HPB (100 lb/ft, 12″–36″ wide) powered belt conveyors for induction lines and powered staging. Variable speed available. Zip Ship models on select LPB configurations.

Pack-Out Accumulation

190MRA MDR zero-pressure accumulator for gentle carton queuing at pack-out stations. Zone-by-zone control, 60–200 FPM, 15″–33″ belt face widths. Energy efficient 24VDC brushless motor rollers.
