Gravity Lanes and Shuttle Combination | Case Study

This client was part of the pharmaceuticals industry, which has their own needs. They needed a system that worked with DIN Europallets that are 1200×800 and 2320 total pallet positions. With the need for crossway transportation, this client needed a custom solution by Euroroll.

Euroroll’s Custom Solution

Using the advantages of both systems, a combination of gravity roller conveyors
at ground level and a Radio Shuttle on the higher levels, is resulting in a highly
efficient storage. The radio shuttle handles the pallets from and to their storage
location. When the pallet needs to be picked, it will be taken from the shuttle
isle and located on the gravity conveyor, also in crossway orientation to avoid
double handling. The brake rollers type EBT2S, limits the pallet speed to a
maximum of 0.25 m/s to the picking station. The “Flex TV” separating device
enables the unloading of the first pallet without line pressure, and ensures a
fast and safe picking.

In the solution used, the unloading element of the roller conveyor can be lifted
by means of a gas pressure strut. This facilitates the cleaning of the floor
underneath.
