Flexible Transport Solutions with Accordion Conveyor KOALFLEX
Accordion Conveyor is a flexible conveyor system that can easily adapt to different work areas, lengthen or shorten, and makes product transportation processes more practical. Thanks to its KOALFLEX structure, it helps to transport products quickly, safely and regularly in warehouse, logistics, cargo, food, medicine and airport operations.
The flexible body structure allows the system to be opened and closed according to the required area. In this way, it offers a powerful solution in businesses where fixed conveyor lines are not sufficient or space usage is variable. It accelerates the transportation process and reduces manual workload, especially in facilities with intense product flow.
KOALFLEX can be preferred according to different operational needs with its free-wheeling or engine-driven options. It is an efficient transportation solution for modern businesses with its silent operating structure, fast installation advantage and easy-to-use features.
What is Accordion Conveyor?
Accordion Conveyor is a product transport system with a flexible structure that can be opened and closed. Unlike standard conveyor lines, its length can be changed and it can be easily positioned according to the required area.
This system is especially used in operations where products need to be transported over short or medium distances. Thanks to its flexible structure, it can be moved to different points, and when not in use, it can be closed and takes up less space.
KOALFLEX provides practical use both in small areas and in businesses with variable product flows. Therefore, it is an effective transportation system for logistics centers, cargo companies, production facilities and warehouse operations.
How Does KOALFLEX Work?
KOALFLEX system allows the products to move on the line in a controlled manner, thanks to its roller structure. It can be preferred as free-wheeling or motor-driven, depending on the need for use.
In the free ride model, products move with operator intervention or tilt support. In the motor-driven model, the system provides automatic transportation with its electric drive and motor structure.
Roller motor conveyors allow regional operation. A single roll motor can drive up to eight idler rolls. Thanks to the 24VDC roller structure and driver card support, multiple rollers can be driven via a single driver.
This structure optimizes energy use while also creating a quieter and more controlled transportation process.
Areas of Use
Accordion Conveyor can be used in product transportation, transfer, loading and unloading processes in different sectors. Thanks to its flexible structure, it offers a more practical use compared to fixed lines.
The main areas of use are:
- distribution centers
- logistics facilities
- cargo operations
- Food production and packaging areas
- pharmaceutical industry
- Airport applications
- Tobacco products operations
- FMCG warehouses
- Agricultural products processing areas
- automotive industry
- Furniture production and shipping areas
- Construction materials transport lines
- Textile production and warehouse operations
Regular transportation of products in these areas shortens operation time and ensures a more controlled workflow.
Accordion Conveyor Advantages
Accordion Conveyor offers businesses many advantages such as flexibility, speed, quiet operation and easy installation. It provides a practical solution especially for businesses with variable product transportation areas.
Flexible Use
The system has a structure that can be opened and closed. In this way, it can be used as long as needed and can be closed when the process is completed, taking up less space.
This feature is an important advantage, especially for businesses that work in narrow spaces or want to move the transport line to different points.
Quiet Operation
The roller motor conveyor structure provides high performance and the advantage of quiet operation. This creates a more comfortable working area in busy production and warehouse environments.
Its silent operation feature is especially preferred in food, pharmaceutical, packaging and warehouse operations.
Quick and Easy Installation
KOALFLEX system can be installed quickly and commissioned easily. Thanks to its portable structure, it can be adapted to different areas.
This feature helps businesses respond faster to operational changes.
Regional Work Opportunity
The roller motor structure allows the regional operating principle. This ensures that only the parts needed work.
This structure increases energy efficiency and helps the system be used in a more controlled manner.
Duplex Use
The system is suitable for bidirectional operation. In this way, products can be transported in two different directions as needed.
Bidirectional use provides operational flexibility in loading, unloading, transfer and packaging processes.
