Energy saving

Avancon’s conveyors save 30% to 84% Energy

ZPC’ stands for “Zone Powered Concept”. This is a modern roller and belt conveyor system that enables fast transport throughout the entire internal logistics process. We build all our conveyors as zone conveyors as standard, which automatically results in ‘zero pressure accumulation’ (ZPA) at every point where stopping and accumulation is required. Because the whole system is built this way, it also saves a lot of energy.

It is designed as standard for smooth and fast transport, but not just for ‘jamming’. The avancon ZPC conveying concept is controlled by the avancon ZPC Control System. Based on the ASi field bus, it operates at a nominal 30.5 V and the BLDC motors require 48 V at 40 watts.

If only a single conveyed good is to be transported on a traditional conveyor, which is very often the case, a 500 to 1’000 watt (0.5 to 1 KW) motor is always in operation, regardless of how long the conveyor is.

With the avancon ZPC-Concept only 2x40 watts = 80 watts are required, a saving of min. 420 watts = 84% of a 500 Watt motor!

This is because avancon ZPC supplies each zone separately with power only at the moment when something needs to be transported on this zone. If the zone in front is occupied, it stops and consumes no energy; if the zone in front is empty, it transports at 0.3 m/s to the front zone. The avancon ZPC concept thus saves up to 30 % energy in normal operation.

If 5 zones in front of it are empty, it transports continuously at five times the speed (1.5 ms) to and over the zones in front of it... and so on.
However, this higher speed must be slowed down gently and automatically and must not hit the goods in front. (Just like you brake your car in front of a wall).

This is why the avancon ZPC concept always starts and stops gently. During transport, there is of course a gap of one zone length between the goods to be transported. This is similar to and stop.
