Line Shaft Conveyor Systems

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Line Shaft

A line shaft conveyor system is an optimum solution for conveyance of light (up to 15 lbs/roller) cartons. The ability to drive multiple conveyors reduces the number of drives. Fewer drives save material, installation, and future operational costs. Clean, dry, oil free environments are the ideal conditions to maximize line shaft performance.

Belt Conveyors

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Belt

A belt conveyor is a conveyor consisting essentially of a powered belt made of canvas, rubber or metal, on top of rollers or a slide pan. These conveyors can be horizontal or vertically inclined to move product through a facility.

Belt conveyors are a cost-efficient mode of moving product and are especially applicable to situations where the product is irregularly shaped or does not have a flat bottom. Because a continuous belt makes contact with the product, there is enough friction created to allow these conveyors to convey at an incline, decline, or horizontally.

24V DC Power Conveyors

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: 24v Motor

24V power roller (motorized-roller) conveyor sets the standard in material handling flexibility. Power roller is a highly versatile, easily configured, pre-wired conveyor with sections driven by motorized rollers. A truly modular system, with many standard accessories, that can be completely customized to meet your current requirements.

24V conveyors are a powered conveyor that utilize rollers to move product for transportation or accumulation purposes. Segmented groups of rollers are independently powered by one motorized roller instead of a traditional drive motor that controls the entire conveyor as one unit.

24V conveyors can be used for accumulation or transportation and can be belted or not belted. The use of a belt creates friction to allow for conveyance at an incline or decline or for conveying irregularly shaped items. These conveyors are modular, extremely versatile, and can be customized for use in a wide variety of applications.

Live Roller Conveyors

:Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida Live Roller

Live roller conveyors are powered conveyor systems that utilize a combination of rollers to move a product. A live roller conveyor is used to convey products with flat bottoms in transportation or minimum pressure accumulation applications. Live rollers conveyors are typically used to convey items horizontally; when used to convey incline or decline, they are belted. The term “live” means that the rollers are powered by a motorized drive in one of many possible mechanisms.

Spiral Conveyors

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Spiral

Spiral conveyors are powered or non-powered conveyors that utilize rollers, skate wheels, belts, or chutes to move product between elevation(s).

Spiral conveyors are used to facilitate a change in elevation and are a much more compact version than the alternative – a series of belt inclines and declines. Spiral conveyors are capable of moving product at an incline or at a decline between levels of a facility and may have multiple entry points. They may be powered by a single drive or utilize gravity to convey items from a higher elevation to a lower elevation.

Sortation Conveyors

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Sortation

Sortation conveyors are powered conveyors—often used in conjunction with barcode scanning—that automatically divert product to a designated lane or location.

Gravity Conveyors

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Gravity Roller

A gravity conveyor is non-powered and utilizes gravity to convey items. 

Gravity conveyors are most commonly used for cost efficient accumulation or for use at staging / work surfaces. They are typically sloped to allow gravity to work on the items and utilize either rollers, skate wheels, ball transfers, or a chute to convey product. Because these conveyors use gravity as their power mechanism, they are limited to conveying at a decline or horizontally in areas where they are being used as a work surface.

Conveyor System Case Study:

Selective Storage Rack Systems

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Selective Pallet Storage Racking

Selective storage rack systems are inexpensive and designed to organize product and to take advantage of vertical space.

Selective storage racks are the most popular type of warehouse storage rack system on the market. They offer an inexpensive design and the largest selection of sizes and accessories to be custom configured for your warehouse storage application. Designed to get products off the warehouse floor and into a racking system, they provide immediate accessibility to store or unload. Using a selective storage rack system allows you to fully utilize your warehouse floor and vertical space, as well as efficiently manage worker time.

Selective storage racks are great for:
Standard storage of all needs that require immediate access to products or pallets.

Advantages of selective storage racking:

  • Available in numerous capacities, sizes, and configurations for custom fit
  • Immediate access to all storage
  • Can be made from roll formed, structural steel, or a combination of both materials
  • Easy to adjust shelf heights
  • Inexpensive – lowest cost option per square foot

Drive-in Storage Racking Systems

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Drive In Racking

Drive-in storage rack systems maximize warehouse space and allow for high-density storage of similar products or SKUs.

Drive-in rack systems offer maximum-density storage of similar products and pallets in your warehouse. Drive-in rack systems eliminate aisles in a warehouse facility because the drive-in system is made for storing high quantities of similar product which use the same entry and exit point for each bay or rack. Since drive-in rack systems are fork-lift accessible, they offer maximum-density storage and product or pallets may be stored in lanes up to six or more positions deep on the rack.

Drive-in storage rack systems are great for:

  • Manufacturers with limited SKUs
  • Large amounts of similar products and limited warehouse space
  • Fragile products that can’t be stacked
  • Cold storage applications – store a lot of pallets in a small freezer space

Advantages of drive-in storage racking systems:

  • Most cost-effective high-density system available
  • Can be constructed from roll formed or structural rack material
  • Reduces square footage imprint up to 35% compared to selective pallet racks

Push Back Storage Racking Systems

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Push Back Pallet Racking

Push back pallet racks are high-density storage solutions that load pallets from the front onto a nested cart system that slides on inclined rails.

Push back rack systems are designed to allow for dense storage of product that doesn’t require First-in First-Out retrieval. Push back pallet racks are stationary rack structures that load pallets from the front onto a nested cart system that slides on inclined rails.

In the push back system, everything can be accessed from the aisle while utilizing a Last-In First-Out (LIFO) method of storage. This system provides multiple pick faces while using fewer aisles, therefore opening up more warehouse space.

Push back storage racking systems are great for: Warehouses that need selectivity of selective racking, but flexibility and high-density storage of drive-in pallet racking.

Advantages of a push back storage racking system:

  • Easy product accessibility – each lane is one SKU
  • High-density storage and more flexibility with multiple SKUs
  • Can be custom-designed and configured for your storage applications
  • Low maintenance pallet storage system
  • Rack damage is minimized because the forklifts don’t enter the rack structure

Storage Flow Racking Systems

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Pallet Flow Racks

A pallet is placed on the “loading” side, then is moved to the “picking” side using gravity rollers. As each load is removed, the pallet behind it automatically moves one position closer to the picking position.

Storage flow racks, or “gravity flow” racks, are a dynamic storage system that use gravity rollers to automate pallet storage and retrieval and increase storage efficiency. Using a pallet flow storage system can double or even triple the storage capacity in your facility compared to other methods.

Storage flow racking systems are great for:
Companies who store or distribute dairy, deli, pharmaceuticals, or other date-sensitive or perishable items.

Advantages of storage flow racking systems:

  • Once loaded, product rotation is automatic
  • Dedicated lane to one product
  • Great for large number of pallets – anywhere from 8 to 20 pallets
  • Quick and efficient inventory turnover (FIFO retrieval)

Carton Flow Racking Systems

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Carton Flow Rack

Carton flow systems can be loaded from the back and the product cartons slide down gravity-fed rollers or wheels to the front of the racking for picking and packing orders.

Essentially, carton flow racking systems are the same as pallet flow racks, but designed for boxes and small products, or split case picking. While using the First in First out (FIFO) method, carton flow rack brings a dramatic upgrade in cost-savings because it improves warehouse efficiency by organizing product and rotating stock automatically.

Carton flow pallet racking systems are great for:
Warehouses that utilize split-carton picking and require high-volume order picking. Common applications include order fulfillment centers, food and beverage distribution centers, small parts distributors, etc.

Advantages of using carton flow pallet racking systems:

  • Save space and increase efficiency for order fulfillment
  • Roller or wheel systems can be configured for dedicated product lanes, or to accommodate cartons of different sizes and configurations
  • Can be either front or back loaded
  • Uses gravity as free power source
  • Utilizes First-In First-Out (FIFO) method
  • Dramatic cost savings and increased efficiency for order fulfillment centers
  • Visibility of products prevents out of stock dilemma

Cantilever Racking Systems

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Cantilever Racks

Cantilever racks are comprised of towers, arms, and bases to store long, items like tubing, pipes, bars, and lumber.

Cantilever racks are the best solution for storing longer, bulky items without an aisle upright column to limit horizontal storage space. Their design allows them to be built out of towers, arms, and bases. In most cases, these are stand-alone systems that don’t need to be tied back to the building for support. The components of the system can be roll formed or made from structural steel and can also be galvanized for use in outdoor storage yards or in tough and demanding environments.

Cantilever racking systems are great for:
Storing long bulky items like piping, lumber, steel sheet, and even boats. Really, anything that is long, flat, oddly-shaped, or low-profile is a great candidate for cantilever rack storage.

Advantages to cantilever racking systems:

  • Capacity ranges anywhere from light duty to heavy duty
  • Quicker storing and retrieving of heavy, long, or oddly-shaped products—helps reduce handling time and cost
  • Strong and safe storage option—both indoors or outdoors
  • Fast and easy installation
  • Can be designed to meet AISI Requirements

Hänel Rotomat® Industrial Vertical Carousels

Pallet Racking, Storage Racking and Conveyor Systems in Florida: Idustrial Verticacl LIft

Hänel Rotomat® Industrial Vertical Carousels quickly deliver stored parts to operators at the optimum ergonomic height, without time-consuming walking, searching, ladder-climbing or bending. The compact units utilize available room height and create as much as 70% added storage capacity compared to mini-load and rack storage. The units are also ideal for improving tool, component and product storage / retrieval for device manufacturing and assembly, warehousing and distribution.

Vertical Carousels:

  • Multi-functional carrier options include varied front edges and walls along with accessories such as shelves, drawers, dividers and bins
  • LED displays in the work counter guide operators for fast, error-free storage and retrieval
  • Safety light curtain ensures operator safety

It’s Gotta Be Robust & Reliable

Almost all Hänel Rotomat® industrial carousels are powered by two 400-V three-phase motors. Pole-switching three-phase motors are used as standard, enabling gentle but powerful acceleration and braking even under different load conditions. This guarantees less wear and quieter running. This ensures optimal freedom of movement in front of the carousel. The right and left drive motors are controlled synchronously and simultaneous acceleration and braking of the two drives means that the multifunction carriers are moved without distortion.

The twin motor design also ensures optimal balance if the load on the carrier is distributed unevenly.

It’s Gotta Be Strong & Fast

The Hänel Rotomat® Industrial Vertical Carousel is the ONLY manufacturer that uses dual HD suspension arms that offer stable carrier suspension on 4-point sliding carriage principle. The Hänel Rotomat® carrier suspension is designed according to the sliding carriage principle so that the carriers are suspended from 4 levers on 4 rollers on left and right. Suspension from 4 levers means that transverse forces are safely absorbed, reducing wear substantially and making running quieter.

High Speed Through-Put

Hänel has once again pushed the physical boundaries and substantially increased the drive speed of the Rotomat®. The speed of rotation has been improved by up to 70%, (application dependent) consequently reducing dwell time by up to 40%!

It’s Gotta Be Flexible

No two Hänel Rotomats® are the same, because each task demands a precisely defined solution.

  • Hänel multifunction carriers are absolutely stable and distortion free.
  • Variable fittings can be altered at a later date.
  • Compartment dividers, bins, drawers or loose goods – the possibilities are endless.
  • Long lifecycle and high load bearing capacity up to 750 kg per carrier, depending on the model.

It’s Gotta Be Secure

Controlled Access: Secure Parts Management

Compartment doors that are closed manually or automatically guarantee error-free retrieval and protect the stored articles from unauthorized access.

  • Secure: All booking operations can then be traced to a specific user.
  • Article Management: All pick and put operations are logged, which makes later verification and tracking easy.
  • Inventory Control: Continuous inventory control means that shortages in the supply of materials can be avoided.
  • Protection of Inventory: The closed storage system protects your stock from unauthorized access.

It’s Gotta Be Smart

  • Hardware and software are integrated in the lift, no additional PC or monitor required
  • No complex software installation on PC
  • Direct integration into the corporate network via Ethernet link
  • Data can be retrieved from the MP 100 D and MP 12 N–S simply by using the browser – continuous transparency in the store-room guaranteed.
