ABSTRACT:
An accumulating conveyor includes a plurality of zones extending from the first end of the conveyor to a second end. Each zone includes its own independently operable electric drive motor which can be activated independently of the drive motors in the other zones of the conveyor to drive a respective zone in either a reverse or forward direction. Each zone includes a sensor for sensing the presence or absence of a load in such zones and the direction of a respective zone. An electrical control circuit is operatively connected with the sensing means and the electric motor for each zone. The control circuit is operable to actuate a first one of the accumulating zones and the immediately adjacent downstream zone when a load is present in the first one of said zones and no load is present in the immediately adjacent downstream zone.
