Conveyor promises improved energy efficiency and safety

11 July 2024

Avancon conveyors incorporate flat brushless motors and light barriers to improve energy efficiency and safety.

The ZPC conveyor concept operates in zones (zone-powered conveyor). Designed to prevent material from bumping or exerting pressure during accumulation, these conveyors feature flat brushless DC motors invisibly built into the profile frame. These motors drive their respective zones only when material needs to be conveyed, resulting in energy savings. With only one or two 40W motors needed to convey goods between zones, energy consumption is minimised.

All components, including cables, motors, drive systems, light barriers, and control elements for each zone, as well as the entire control system for automatic and autonomous transport, are housed inside the profile frames, invisible and protected from external factors. 

The light barrier – a crucial component for the system's smooth operation – is snapped into place securely. It communicates with the control centre unit to determine whether a zone is occupied or empty, enabling efficient motor control. If a zone is occupied, the motor is switched off to save energy; if it's free, the motor is activated, swiftly moving materials to available zones.
