Used to buffer containers, balance workflow between processes, or build up queues for merge and sortation systems, Trew’s Narrow Belt Accumulation provides high-density pneumatic minimal pressure accumulation with less product damage and fewer jams. Downloads HOME HARDWARE CONVEYOR NARROW BELT Narrow Belt Live Roller Narrow Belt Live Roller Conveyor is a traditional AC powered design with a narrow belt under the rollers that provides roller drive for transportation or accumulation applications. The accumulation version, Narrow Belt Accumulation (NBA), is a key technology in applications like high-speed merging and process buffering to create high-density singulated flow. Our modern reinvented NBA technology provides the highest levels of throughput, control flexibility, gentle zero pressure product density, durability and reliability and is also available for non-accumulating very high-speed transportation. Narrow Belt Accumulation Overview Trew’s Narrow Belt Conveyor Line takes on industry-wide challenges head-on through its innovation and intentional design. Modern re-engineered design delivers operational confidence, throughput, gently zero pressure product handling and reduced maintenance. Intelligent accumulation conveyor controls are easy to understand and configure enabling gently zero pressure accumulation and high-rate releases to downstream conveyor.

The factory-installed zone control provides field selectable accumulation modes and two release options with high visibility diagnostics and error notifications for faster installation, improved maintenance response time, and improved overall operational performance. Narrow Belt Conveyor - Transportation Trew’s Narrow Belt Transportation conveyor allows for a cost effective solution when accumulation is not required. Because the NBT utilizes similar components from the Accumulator, upgrading your transportation unit is seemless. This conveyor line ensures maximized system uptime by taking advantage of industry leading belt retention capabilities. Zone Control Narrow Belt Controller The Narrow Belt Controller provides industry-leading functionality and diagnostic features factory mounted and ready for installation. The pneumatic dual zone controller provides “on conveyor” logic for Standard Singulation, Local Singulation, and Auto-Slug accumulation modes, Slug and Singulation release options, and settings that enable increased efficiency and maximum product density. Each controller provides high-visibility indicators to help maintenance and operations quickly identify accumulation behavior, individual zone health, accumulation network status, and jam conditions. Easy to integrate interface modules allow system-level controls to provide control signals or monitor the status of a zone.

Our Conveyor, Controls and Software 24x7 technical support, parts, training, assessments, modifications and upgrade teams are ready to help. Downloads HOME SERVICES SUPPORT SERVICES Support Services Great experiences are shared, which is why our Customer Experience Team is here to ensure your material handling investments are supported with best-in-class options for 24x7 technical support, parts, training, assessments, and modifications or upgrades. We are here to support you in helping your clients reach their operational goals. Technical Support Parts Technical Resources Assessments Mods & Upgrades Technical Support If your client’s system encounters an outage, it is critical to have immediate access to experienced, trained support engineers to restore their system to full operation. Our in-house 24x7 technical support team is available via phone call, email, or online form. Support is available in two tiers: Basic for operations needing support Monday through Friday, 8AM-5PM Eastern or Total for 24x7 availability. Our support contacts are handled by you, the integrator. With a technical support contract, your clients will have access to the Customer Experience Portal. The portal serves as an incident management system that provides total transparency for incident resolution, documenting all steps taken to resolve issues, ticket escalation, and auto email notifications for when your tickets change status. Better yet, you will have the same access and visibility as your clients. TECH SUPPORT Click Here Parts PARTS The easiest way to help your clients avoid unplanned downtime is to have parts on site to support the system should a failure occur. Not sure which parts are needed or how much your client should stock? We can help you choose the appropriate stocking plan to recommend prior to system go-live to fit your client's budget and maintenance goals. Supporting your client's installed system? If you know what you need, you can visit our online store to order parts. Not sure what is needed? We have experienced parts specialists available to help, just give us a call. Click Here Technical Resources Learning how to safely operate, maintain, and troubleshoot a material handling system is important for your client's success. We provide a combination of manuals and hands-on training videos with system turnover exclusively located on our customer experience portal. Looking for specifications and available product configurations? See our product catalogs to help you select options to fit your client's needs. DOWNLOADS Click Here Assessments Systems will naturally age and endure wear and tear, making it increasingly challenging to operate them reliably while maintaining a predictable budget. Regular assessments are valuable resource planning and downtime avoidance tools. Our experienced assessors will work alongside your team to conduct a comprehensive examination of all critical system components and will deliver a preliminary finding report (with your letterhead) prior to leaving the site. We will follow up with a thorough assessment report to help you with lifecycle and maintenance planning for your client. ASSESSMENTS Modifications & Upgrades One thing we know for certain is that business changes. As operational objectives and strategies evolve, modifications will be needed for the material handling system to address new challenges.
