STERO
TRAY ACCUMULATING CONVEYOR
STANDARD FEATURES
Construction: Heavy duty 12 gauge stainless steel frame.
Bolt together construction for ease of assembly. Supported by
stainless steel leg sets with adjustable stainless steel bullet
feet.
Design: May be constructed in oval or triangle shape. Any
length– from a minimum oval of 9
8" long to as long as your
application requires–or your imagination desires.
Tray Carriers: Unit consists of individual carriers which have a
fi ve tray capacity. Carriers are interconnected to complete a con-
tinuous circle of transportation. Carriers are each suppor ted on
four stainless steel ball bearing wheels which roll in a formed
stainless steel track. Carriers are on approximately 20" centers
and are interconnected.
Drive: A single ½ HP 115 volt, variable speed (adjustable)
drive unit drives a stainless steel chain which contacts drive
pins on each carrier. This propels the entire circle of carriers.
Capacity: Tray capacities vary with the size and shape of the
system. The following are typical examples:
■
9 8" oval unit: 55 tray capacity
■
15 8" oval unit: 85 tray capacity
■
20 8" oval unit: 115 tray capacity
■
25 8" oval unit: 145 tray capacity
The above lengths are for reference. Conveyors can be built to
any length ending with 8 inches.

STAC TRAY ACCUMULATING CONVEYOR
Item #: ___________________________________________ A/A File #: ___________________________________________
STERO’s Tray Accumulator Conveyor offers true
accumulation, providing an improved and highly
effi cient alternative to outmoded conveyor systems.
Trays, loaded by the patron and transported to the
dishroom, are then unloaded by the dishmachine
operator. If trays cannot be unloaded immediately,
they continue around the system and return to the
operator. No worr y about trays backing up as the
Conveyor may remain on during peak hours when
the load is greatest.
Effi cient utilization of space distinguishes the STERO
STAC from fl at belt conveyors. Flat belt conveyor
capacity can only be increased by increasing the
length of the belt itself. The STERO system, with its
tiered carrier, holds fi ve trays at a time. This equals
over 7 times the capacity of a similar length fl at belt.
This system utilizes the “tried and true” components
of the STERO Systematic which have proven their
reliability for many years.
STAC
Continuous
revolution of carriers
allow ware to be removed
randomly thus eliminating back-
up during peak periods or when
an operator is not in attendance.
Variable speed operation allows
for easy fl ow rate adjustment.
