Vertical Buffer Conveyor
PCB Buffering Solutions
PCB handling equipment moves bare and populated boards between process steps — loading magazines, conveying, buffering, turning, inverting and unloading. It is the connective tissue of an SMT line: the machines that decide whether printers, placement and reflow run continuously or wait on an operator.

PROMATION provides line buffering equipment designed to manage varying process speeds and maintain continuous production flow. The VBB-10 Vertical Belt Buffer system stores PCBs vertically and releases them downstream as needed, with multiple configuration options available.
Features & options
About the Vertical Buffer Conveyor
What is the pass line height of the Vertical Buffer Conveyor?
Pass Line Height: 950mm nominal +/- 30mm. The full specification table for the Vertical Buffer Conveyor is published on this page — we do not keep specs in PDFs or images.
What is the power draw of the Vertical Buffer Conveyor?
Power: 110V / 15A standard circuit. The full specification table for the Vertical Buffer Conveyor is published on this page — we do not keep specs in PDFs or images.
How much does the Vertical Buffer Conveyor cost?
Price depends on the configuration rather than the base machine — tooling, fixturing, feeders and options move it more than the model does. Tell us the part and the volume and we will send the range for a build that suits it, along with lead time from US stock.
What is the lead time on the Vertical Buffer Conveyor?
PROMATION USA holds pcb handling in US stock, so a lead time is usually a delivery date rather than an ocean shipment. Configuration and testing happen here before the machine ships, and the engineers who set it up are the ones who support it afterwards.
Can we see the Vertical Buffer Conveyor run our part before we buy?
Yes. Send us the board, the fluid or the fastener and our IPC-certified engineers will run it on the Vertical Buffer Conveyor, film the result, and return cycle times and joint quality alongside a quote. There is no cost and no obligation.
Is the Vertical Buffer Conveyor SMEMA compatible?
Yes. SMEMA handshaking is standard across the PCB handling range, so the Vertical Buffer Conveyor drops into an existing line alongside other manufacturers' printers, placement and reflow equipment without custom integration work.
