Conveyor systems should power down to zero-state energy during breaks in production.

The lunch bell rings, and all the employees are heading to the break room for a well-deserved break. There is one hard-working part of your facility that should also take a break.

Your conveyor system should also stop during long pauses in production. This can be accomplished by using “Energy Conservation Controls”.  This control feature powers down to zero-state after the lack of activity, resulting in lower energy costs and extended life of conveyor.

Your conveyor will thank you for its break. If you still have conveyors move when no loads are onboard, please contact a Systec service technician to add this feature at 800-578-1755.
