Accumulation systems

Accumulation systems: fluidity and continuity for your bottling line
In the world of bottling and packaging, maintaining a continuous production flow is an absolute priority. Even a brief stop can cause delays, waste, and reduced efficiency. In this context, accumulation systems represent a strategic solution to optimize the process, improve efficiency, and intelligently manage operational discontinuities on production lines. In this article, we introduce this essential component and present Europool SRL’s approach and experience in its design and implementation.

What is an accumulation table and why it is essential
An accumulation table is a mechanical module placed along the bottling line, designed to manage temporary speed imbalances between different machines (such as fillers, cappers, labelers, and packers). Essentially, it acts as a “buffer” between two or more stages of the process, allowing products (bottles, cans, vials, etc.) to be accumulated or released as needed during operations.
The result? Greater line fluidity, reduced downtime, and increased overall productivity. In addition to facilitating the handling of unexpected events, accumulation tables help protect machinery by avoiding overloads or sudden stops.
