Features and applications of flow rack

Flow rack, also known as sliding rack, is composed of fluent bars, rollers, columns, beams, pull rods, slideways, roller tracks and some defensive installations. Goods are transported from the high end to the low end by rollers with a certain height difference. Goods can slide by their own graveness to achieve” first in, first out” operation.

The flow rack has the advantages of low use cost, fast storehouse speed, high viscosity, accessible storehouse, one loss and multiple pickup. The flow rack has high storehouse effectiveness and is suitable for short- term storehouse and selecting of large amounts of goods. It can cooperate with electronic markers to achieve easy operation of goods. Common sliding holders include turnover boxes, parts boxes and cartons, which are suitable for large amounts of goods and short- term storehouse and picking.

Structural characteristics of flow racks

The fluency bar of the flow rack is directly connected to the front and hinder beams and the middle support beams, and the beams are directly hung on the pillars. The installation grade of the fluency bar depends on the size and weight of the weight box and the depth of the flow rack, generally taking 5%~9%. The bearing capacity of the fluent roller is 6kg/ piece. When the goods are heavy, 3- 4 fluent rollers can be installed on one waterway. Generally, a support beam is installed every0.6 m in the depth direction to increase the stiffness of the fluent bar. When the waterway is long, the waterway can be separated by a partition plate. The pickup end shall be equipped with boscage pads to decelerate down the weight and reduce impact.

Flow rack is characterized by furnishing a more compact and simple storehouse mode. All goods can be stored or picked up at the same end of the flow rack, and each variety of goods can be stored singly, so as to avoid mutual hindrance and ameliorate access effectiveness. The compact storehouse mode of flow racks can bring up to 60 gain in storehouse space compared with medium duty storehouse racks.

Applications of flow racks

Flow rack is widely used in manufacturing, commerce, distribution center, assembly factory and storehouse with high shipping frequence flow rack it uses aluminum amalgamation comber, distance essence and other fluent bars, and uses the tone weight of the platform to achieve first in first out. It’s accessible for storehouse, and is suitable for distribution centers on both sides of the assembly line and other places.
