Sidel launches new single-file accumulation solution

Sidel has launched a new single-file accumulation solution that is flexible and ergonomic for all types of applications.

The AQ-File conveyor can be used for the accumulation of a wide range of containers, both filled and empty, regardless of the material used, particularly those with complex shapes that are not suitable for mass accumulation.

It can be used on bottling lines with speeds of less than 30,000 bottles per hour, for applications such as wine and spirits, liquid dairy products, food, home and personal care.

The AQ-File has a simple operating principle and an open design.

It is composed of a horizontal chain that winds around a wheel mounted on a mobile carriage.

Accumulation is done by varying the length of the accumulation chain: the carriage moves back to create accumulation and advances to discharge the containers.

It operates without transfer and with a chain.
