2019. Four-pillar vertical conveyors of an automotive parts distributor

Vertical conveyors are part of the transport system for carton containers and EUR pallets, which supports sixteen loading and unloading levels located on four four-level storage platforms.

Three vertical transport conveyors, including a double-sided one, serve seven different levels with an operating range of 80 to 7200mm.

Areas that can be switched to an alternative mode of operation have been separated. This mode serves as an independent vertical pallet transfer system that handles loading and unloading from any line of roller conveyors. At the same time, the remaining areas of the system are permitted to work in any of the two transport modes.

Switching off any of the three vertical conveyors does not stop the transport and buffering process on the link. By default, the system allows you to buffer several dozen pallets delivered in bulk during morning deliveries and to gradually unload the buffer during the next three working shifts.
