PALLET FLOW RACKING (FIFO)
PERFECT FOR PRODUCTS WITH A SHORT SHELF LIFE
Flow racking is a dynamic accumulation storage system based on the FIFO principle (first in, first out), designed for high turnover warehouses and for the storage of goods with a short shelf life. The essence of flow racking is the automatic transport of pallets on rollers from the loading zone to the unloading zone on the opposite side of the racking, under the action of gravity.
ADVANTAGES OF FLOW RACKING
- FIFO (first in, first out) flow of goods
- efficient use of warehouse space by reducing the number of journeys required to move goods around the warehouse
- improvement of warehouse processes
- ideal for warehouses with high stock rotation and short shelf life.
- can be used in cold stores and freezers down to -25˚C.
- independent operation of the racking from two sides and separation of the loading and unloading area – saves time when handling pallets, increases safety at work
DETAILED INFORMATION:
Flow racking is the ideal choice for:
- optimum use of storage space
- high turnover warehouses (e.g. food, chemical, pharmaceutical)
- storage of goods with a short shelf life
- FIFO flow of goods
- facilities requiring temperatures as low as -25˚C (cold stores, freezers)
The essence of flow racking is the automatic transport of pallets from the loading zone to the unloading zone on the opposite side of the racking, according to the ‘goods to man’ principle. The system is made up of racking channels arranged side by side. Goods are loaded on one side of the racking and retrieved on the other. The pallets are moved down the aisle by rollers, which move the pallets under gravity from the loading area to the picking area on the opposite side. As one pallet is removed, the next pallet automatically moves towards the picking area. Brake rollers control the speed and a divider separates the first pallet from the others.
The depth (length) of the flow rack channel is unlimited. However, it should be noted that as the depth of the channel increases, with a gradient of 4%, the unused space under the first storage level also increases. For example, if 15 EUR pallets are stored in the channel, its length would be approximately 18.8 m and the unused space under the first storage level would be approximately 0.75 m.
