High-Quality Accumulation Tables from a Trusted UK Manufacturer

 

Our accumulation tables are designed to efficiently hold and buffer products during production and packing processes, helping to improve workflow and prevent bottlenecks. Each accumulation system is manufactured to suit your specific product type, throughput, and operational requirements. Reliable accumulation tables designed and built in the UK.

Conveyor Systems is a professional UK manufacturer with over 30 years of experience in designing and producing high-quality product accumulation solutions for a wide range of industries. Whether you require a standalone unit or an integrated solution within a larger conveyor systems, our accumulation tables provide a practical, low-maintenance way to improve efficiency across your operation. Furthermore, all systems are built using high-quality components, tailored to your specifications, and competitively priced.

Accumulation tables are used to temporarily hold products between stages of production, allowing downstream processes such as packing, labelling, or inspection to operate at a consistent pace. Solutions can include rotary accumulation tables, straight conveyor buffer zones, or custom-built systems depending on your requirements. These systems are commonly used alongside belt conveyors and other conveyor systems to create a smooth and efficient workflow. All equipment is UKCA and CE marked.

Accumulation Tables Features

All accumulation tables are delivered fully wired and complete with manuals and food-safe materials information.


For use in high-volume applications, a modular belt accumulation table is a robust option for product accumulation. These conveyor tables can be made to suit your space or product size.

We utilise a strong and hardwearing modular plastic chain to create a modular belt accumulation system that can handle high volumes of products. These plastic chains are easy to clean and available in food-safe materials for food production and packing.

We also manufacture rotary accumulation tables which have a spinning 'lazy susan' top.

Modular Accumulation Table

What Are Accumulation Tables?

Accumulation tables are material handling systems designed to temporarily hold and buffer products during production, packing, or processing stages. They help regulate product flow by allowing items to build up between processes, ensuring downstream operations can continue efficiently without interruption.

Unlike fixed transfer systems such as belt conveyors or roller conveyors, accumulation tables are specifically designed to manage variations in throughput and prevent bottlenecks within a conveyor system.

How Do Accumulation Tables Work?

Accumulation tables work by creating a controlled area where products can gather before moving to the next stage of a process. Items are fed onto the table or accumulation zone and held until they are required for packing, inspection, or further handling.

Depending on the application, accumulation systems can:

  • Allow products to queue safely before manual or automated processes
  • Regulate flow between machines running at different speeds
  • Reduce downtime by preventing gaps or overloads in production

These systems are commonly integrated into larger conveyor systems to improve overall efficiency and consistency.

Key Benefits of Accumulation Tables

Accumulation tables provide several advantages for high-volume operations:

  • Improved workflow efficiency – maintains consistent product flow
  • Reduced bottlenecks – buffers products between processes
  • Increased productivity – supports continuous operation
  • Flexible design options – tailored to your layout and requirements
  • Low maintenance solutions – reliable and easy to operate

They are particularly effective when used alongside belt conveyors to create a smooth and balanced production line.

Where Are Accumulation Tables Used?

Accumulation tables are widely used in industries where product flow needs to be controlled and balanced:

  • Packaging and distribution – buffering products before packing
  • Food and drink production – maintaining consistent line speeds
  • Manufacturing environments – managing variations between processes
  • Inspection and labelling lines – holding products before the next stage

They are often positioned at key points within a conveyor systems to ensure efficient transitions between stages.

Types of Accumulation Table Systems

We provide a range of accumulation solutions depending on your application:

  • Rotary accumulation tables – circular systems for end-of-line buffering (Rotary accumulation tables, such as our rotary packing tables, provide an efficient circular solution for end-of-line product buffering and packing.)
  • Inline accumulation zones – built into conveyor systems for continuous flow
  • Custom accumulation systems – designed to suit your specific process and layout
  • Stainless steel accumulation tables – ideal for hygienic and food-grade environments

All systems are designed and manufactured in the UK, built to your exact requirements, and fully compliant with UKCA and CE standards.
