Interroll presents a revolutionary new product allowing greater flexibility in what product may be conveyed in a ZPA conveyor at Modex in Atlanta/Georgia from 6^th to 9^th February 2012. The 24V DC Intelliveyor® Belt enables even soft goods to be conveyed in a low energy consumption, zero pressure accumulation system.

The new product is based on Interroll’s time tested Intelliveyor® Zero Pressure Accumulation Roller Conveyor. Adding a belt to the Intelliveyor enables customers to convey items that have traditionally not been suited for conveying in zero-pressure accumulation roller systems. This includes items with soft or uneven bases, smaller items, and pharmaceuticals. Interroll offers the Intelliveyor Belt as a straight belt accumulation module and offers the Intelliveyor Belt Curve as well.

 

The Intelliveyor Belt is intended for use by customers conveying lighter goods up to 45 pounds per zone while saving electricity and installation costs. Testing has shown that the Intelliveyor Belt consumes 37% less electricity when compared with similar, traditional conveying systems. This is because the Intelliveyor Belt is driven using Interroll’s energy saving 24VDC 1.9” RollerDrive. The Intelliveyor Belt also runs only when needed because it is zone controlled using photoeyes and the Interroll 9006 control card that is included with the conveyor.

 

"Reporters, staff, and football players wouldn’t be able to get packages in or out of ‘the big game’ without the Intelliveyor belt” says Tim McGill, President of Interroll's North America” The US Postal Inspection Service uses the Intelliveyor belt in their mobile scanning trucks because they never know what will be coming in and out of a venue. The Intelliveyor Belt allows the USPIS to park a scanning truck, set up the lightweight modules at an incline, and feed packages through their security scanners quickly."

 

“The conveyors are strong and well-built compared with what we used to use. They are just much easier to use and deploy” said a USPIS site inspector. “We look forward to deploying our next trucks using this technology.”
