Board Accumulator
The REL Board Accumulator is built to remove board from the line flow, store the board in
an indexed vertical stack, and finally placing the board back on the conveyor line. This
accumulator has the capacity to empty the entire dryer to eliminate the risk of fire. The
conveyor consists of lineshaft driven rollers to move the board through the conveyor unit,
and sprocket driven chain elevator arms on both sides of the conveyor. The elevator arms
lift the board from both sides, providing adequate support for the entire board. The
accumulator has the capacity to store 35 boards.
Tipple Conveyor
The REL Tipple Conveyor is built to move the board running on this line, back onto the
existing conveyor line. The conveyor consists of a powered belt conveyor mounted on a
tipple frame that pivots at the infeed end, lowering the outfeed end to the height of the
existing conveyor line elevation. The tipple frame nests with the existing power curve. With
the tipple raised, board will travel through from the old ramp conveyor. Lowering the tipple
frame allows product to flow from the new line.
Overall Process Line
The fully automated REL conveyors are designed and manufactured to be safe, robust and
controllable, providing dependable, trouble free operation with minimal professional
maintenance. All conveyors are provided with proper guarding to ensure safe operation.
