By using alumal or steel roller rail system and under the influence of gravity,
“first in first out” for the goods is implemented. It is convenient to access and suitable for places such as the two sides of the assembly line, distribution center, etc.
Structure:
Also known as a flow rack, this shelving system uses roller aluminum alloys and sheet metal flow strips, utilizing the frame's own weight to achieve a first-in, first-out storage method. It often evolves from medium-duty or heavy-duty beam-type racks. Each shelf level is equipped with roller-type aluminum alloy or sheet metal flow strips placed between the front and back beams at a slight incline (about 3º), forming multiple parallel tracks. The distance between these tracks is adjustable, and dividers or separator panels can be installed between adjacent tracks to guide the goods as they slide down.
Goods are placed on the rollers, using one aisle for storing and another for retrieving, allowing the items to slide downward under gravity. This setup conveniently provides operators with items for production, speeding up the production line. Common sliding containers include turnover boxes, parts bins, and cardboard boxes.
The flow strip rollers are made from high-quality thermoplastic with a very low friction coefficient, offering excellent impact resistance and durability without being prone to breaking. Chemically, they are resistant to acids and bases and do not absorb moisture. The roller axles are made of stainless steel, with a load capacity of up to 6kg per axle.
Load Capacity:
Each shelving unit typically supports up to 1000 kg per level, with an effective height generally no more than 2.5 meters.
Surface Treatment:
Treated with superior epoxy resin electrostatic powder coating, this system features strong adhesion, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. It complies with the national GB6739-2006 standard, ensuring excellent surface quality and smoothness.
Usage:
Ideal for workstation transitions on either side of assembly lines and picking operations in distribution centers. Compatible with electronic tags for informational management of goods, it is widely used in industries like tobacco, pharmaceuticals, department stores, and automotive parts.
