Dematic: Automatic Speed Control for Conveyors and Sorters

Automatic speed control extends lifespan of sorters and conveyors To accommodate actual throughput volume, the Automatic Speed Control system automatically adjusts the speed of an entire sortation system—from merge through sorter take-away conveyors. This reduces energy usage, wear on equipment, sound levels and maintenance requirements. In addition to extending the life of sorters and conveyors, it also improves package control while lowering operating costs. In a typical system, speed will vary from 250 to 540 feet per minute, depending on the rate of carton flow. The system can be implemented with electronic sensors on the upstream conveyor network to detect inbound volume; for a shipping application, electronic sensing monitors downstream availability.
