Smooth, effortless flow of products
April 1st 2004

A fully integrated handling system from Peer Conveyors handles cartons and plastic totes for goods from the loading bay and storage areas at Retail Variations warehouse.

Incoming cartons, weighing around 12kg, are barcoded and placed on a low 12m gravity roller conveyor to be manually fed on to an incline belt conveyor. The cartons transfer to a high level powered lineshaft conveyor to be transported to a bulk storage area where they are scanned and automatically routed via a chain transfer unit and incline/decline belt conveyors to one of three floors.

At each level product feeds off the conveyor belt on to a three metre section of gravity roller track for manual loading/unloading as required. All powered roller and belt conveyors supplied are reversible for maximum flexibility.

The system is reported to be cost effective and provide a smooth effortless flow of products.
