Hytrol’s electronic zero-pressure logic (EZLogic) accumulation system is designed to control zero-pressure accumulation in industrial conveyors. The system has revolutionized industrial conveyor accumulation on a wide range of conveyor types, and is suitable for handling everything from individual cartons to pallet loads of product.

About EZLogic

The EZLogic Accumulation System combines the sensing accuracy of photoelectrics with discrete electronic logic control, and does not require the use of a PLC or pneumatic logic components. It features a zone controller — a compact control device — which uses a photoelectric sensor to detect when a product enters its field, a microprocessor to evaluate various input signals, and control connections to provide communication of data between zones, and to and from outside sources.

The system offers two modes of operation: singulation, which calls for a zone-length gap between products while travelling down the conveyor, and slug release, which allows for higher carton throughput by minimizing gaps between adjacent cases. The unit also has a built-in “sleep” feature that can be used to stop a zone if a product is not detected for an identified period of time. This helps to reduce roller wear and system noise.

For workstations along a conveyor path, EZLogic can be combined with a push-button station to provide an “Indexing Stop Zone”. Another feature, which can be used in the slug release mode, is “Jam Protection”. In this feature, if a product is sensed by any EZLogic controller for six seconds or longer, a signal is sent to upstream zones to begin accumulation of incoming goods. When the jam clears, the conveyor will automatically revert to normal operation.

Availability

EZLogic Accumulation Systems are available in Canada through Norpak Handling, an authorized Hytrol Integration Partner. By installing these systems with conveyors, Norpak is providing its customers with an efficient, reliable and durable solution that significantly improves conveyor operations.
