The AC-VPA – FILO Vertical Product Accumulator is a first in last out (FILO) vertical product accumulator. The AC-VPA can accumulate a large volume of cartons or other product so operators can diagnose downstream machine faults and still have upstream machinery in production. This feature allows you to save time and increase your overall packaging efficiency. Also, the AC-VPA features a pass through design meaning that the machine will only function when needed. This feature reduces energy consumption while not impacting overall operating efficiency as the accumulator will not slow down your line. Robust stainless steel construction, servo motors on main drives, and full safety guarding are all standard on the AC-VPA.
