Task
Optimization and automation of the picking area for production in potentially explosive atmospheres, zone 2
Material to be conveyed
EURO pallets according to DIN
- Dimensions W × L: 800 × 1,200 mm
- Weight: max. 1,000 kg
IBC container 910/911, sub-standard palletizing
- Dimensions W × L: 1,000 × 1,200 mm
- Weight: max. 1,200 kg Industrial pallets according to DIN
- Dimensions W × L: 1,000 × 1,200 mm
The FAB solution
- On the storage side, containers are placed on a roller conveyor, guided fully automatically through the fire protection door and transferred to the cross traversing carriage in the explosion-proof picking area.
- The cross traversing carriage automatically distributes the containers to the assigned inclined roller conveyors.
- The further transport takes place by forklift/hand pallet truck.
- Return track for empty containers
FAB components
