Product Accumulation: F.I.F.O. Accumulator
Dillin’s First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Accumulator utilizes a carousel design and can handle a full range of container and product types and sizes. Fitted with our patented RWave® transfer system, it gently places products on lift rails, eliminating any pushing and allowing for multiple rows of product to be accumulated on every rail if required. The FIFO Accumulator features a compact footprint while maintaining hundreds of feet of accumulation. Its open access and clear visibility enhances operator safety and efficiency.
This FIFO Accumulator can be integrated with Dillin’s: Product Handling Conveyors, Merge/Divert Stations and/or Incline/Decline Conveyors.
