Carton Flow is a gravity-operated, high-density roller flow racking system designed for dynamic picking and storage of unpalletized load units (boxes, totes). It supports manual loading and can be configured for FIFO (first-in, first-out) or LIFO (last-in, first-out) operation.
Operation and applications- Suitable for boxes and containers of various sizes and materials.
- Configurable FIFO or LIFO flow: FIFO installations load at the higher end and discharge at the opposite end; LIFO installations load and unload at the same end.
- Optimises order preparation by increasing the number of pick lines and reducing operator travel distances.
- Space-efficient layouts: FIFO requires one entry aisle and one exit aisle; LIFO can operate with a single entry/exit aisle.
Accessories- Continuous guide: prevents boxes from drifting into adjacent lanes during flow or picking.
- Entry guide: assists operators to load boxes into the correct lane.
Gravity roller conveyor- Loads are placed on inclined receiving lanes and move downwards under gravity, regulated by roller assemblies toward the dispatch and picking position.
- The load is introduced at one end and exits at the opposite side in FIFO; in LIFO both actions occur at the same end.
Technical specifications- System type: gravity-operated, high-density carton flow for manual loading and accumulation of unpalletized units.
- Flow modes: configurable FIFO or LIFO.
- Roller tracks: ergonomic design for easy introduction and extraction; on-site adjustable inclination to ensure controlled flow and avoid clogging.
- Pitch: 50 mm (standard option).
- Finishes available: painted, galvanized, stainless steel.
- Suitability: designed for picking operations and depth accumulation to improve picking flow.
- Space optimisation: minimises required aisles (1 entry + 1 exit for FIFO; single entry/exit for LIFO).
- Maintenance: low maintenance and no power required for in-lane transport.
- Warranty: 2 years (manufacturer indication).
