Garvey Accumulators and Conveyors

A table top conveyor system consists of a continuous chain mechanism that moves along a steel table frame, creating a stable, flat surface for product transport. Unlike standard conveyor belt systems, Table Top Chain conveyors utilize specialized plastic or stainless steel chains that provide smooth, consistent product handling capabilities.

These systems can be configured in multiple layouts, including:

• Straight-run configurations
• 90-degree angle conveyor turns
• 180-degree conveyor returns
• Custom curved sections for specific applications

Key Components

Modern table top conveyor systems integrate several crucial components:

1. Chain Assembly
   • Plastic table top chains for general applications
   • Stainless steel table top chains for sanitary environments
   • Modular chain designs for easy maintenance
   • Specialized sprocket systems for smooth operation
2. Frame Construction
   • Robust steel table frames for industrial durability
   • Sanitary stainless steel table designs for food and pharmaceutical use
   • Horizontal frame configurations for standard transport
   • Custom frame heights for ergonomic integration
3. Drive Systems
   • Energy-efficient conveyor belt motors
   • Variable speed control options
   • Portable power supplies for flexible layouts
   • Washdown-rated components for cleaning requirements
4. Guide Rails and Accessories
   • Adjustable conveyor table rails
   • Product orientation guides
   • Modular rail systems for different product sizes
   • Quick-change components for rapid changeover

Table top conveyors excel in applications requiring precise product handling and accumulation capabilities. Whether transporting small bottles, rigid containers, or packaged goods, these systems provide reliable performance while protecting product integrity throughout the manufacturing process.

Common applications include:

• Food and beverage processing
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Consumer goods packaging
• Industrial assembly operations

The versatility of table top conveyor systems makes them ideal for both standalone operations and integration into larger automated production lines, where they can be configured with various angles and return paths to optimize floor space utilization.

By understanding the fundamental components and capabilities of table top conveyor systems, manufacturers can better evaluate their material handling needs and select the appropriate configuration for their specific applications.
