A device (10) for accumulating articles (12) within a system may include a frame (18), a mass-flow infeed conveyor (20) supported by the frame for receiving articles from the system, and a mass-flow outfeed conveyor (22) supported by the frame for receiving articles from the infeed conveyor and returning the articles to the system. A single-filing device (26) is supported by the frame and includes a plurality of parallel endless loop conveyors (68n). The endless loop conveyors each have an upstream end located laterally from and between upstream and downstream ends of the infeed conveyor. |
