Kraken Accumulation Systems create a controlled product buffer between upstream and downstream equipment. Designed to temporarily hold and release products as needed, these accumulation conveyors and buffering systems help maintain continuous flow into cartoners and other packaging machinery, even when line speeds fluctuate or brief stoppages occur.
Short interruptions upstream or downstream can quickly lead to backups, starved equipment, and unnecessary downtime. Accumulation helps absorb those disruptions, creating buffer zones and giving your line more flexibility and keeping production moving.
Product Accumulator
As you Accumulate often clients need to deal with Gapping, Refeed, Buffering, or Transfer Systems. We can do it all/working with other partners too. Let’s get Kraken.
The objective usually isn’t to eliminate accumulation. It is to control it. Proper accumulation gives downstream equipment time to recover without immediately forcing upstream machines to stop.
Accumulation needs to provide usable buffer time without damaging or jamming products. The correct approach depends on product characteristics, line speed, equipment stop frequency, and recovery time.
First determine how much buffer time the line needs and where stoppages are occurring. Accumulation should allow one machine to continue operating temporarily when another stops without creating product damage, jams, or uncontrolled pressure.
Add buffering and control where your packaging line needs it most.
Kraken does more than supply equipment—we coordinate the entire solution so your line operates as one seamless system. We integrate new and existing machines, design transfer and conveyor elements, align product handling, and synchronize controls from upstream to downstream. The goal isn’t just installation—it’s reliable, high-performance operation.
