5. Unit load: Reduce effort and time spent in the warehouse by using units such as containers or pellets.
The material handling process is influenced by four dimensions: movement, time, quantity, and space.
Pop up roller transfers or chain transfer are available. Deciding on which transfer to incorporate into the system largely depends on the overall system design and arrangement. One advantage to the pop-up roller transfer is that loads can be conveyed with continuous chain support across a roller conveyor chainbox.
As a pop up chain transfer conveyor manufacturer, IKI designs roller and chain transfers that are used in pallet conveyor systems to sort or merge lines or change the direction of travel by 90 degrees. We offer a variety of options to meet conveyability requirements, weight, and system throughput.
Storage and handling equipment secures your goods while they aren’t being used or waiting for the next stage in the supply chain process.
Material handling refers to the movement of goods and materials from one place to another. This includes the storage, protection, and control of materials from production to distribution.
Material handling equipment utilizes manual, semi-automated, and automated equipment to assist the movement and storage of materials within the warehouse.
Primarily, our conveyors and cross transfer / cross transport handlers deliver mechanized staging, discharge, and collections of material for roller conveyors. These machines offer a constant flow of materials to and from processing units for steady operations, which results in higher productivity.
When it comes to structuring your material handling systems, efficiency is key. It is crucial to plan and react quickly to customer and warehouse demands. Because material handling is as important inbound inventory as it is outbound.
More than just the movement of goods and products, material handling is a crucial element in your warehouse operation because it provides a standardized process of handling and transportation from manufacturing to distribution.
An issue with automated material handling systems is poor pallet quality. Although placing rollers closer together can reduce problems with poor pallet qualities, tighter center locations may limit space for chain transfer. IK has developed a chain for 4,000-pound cargoes. It's made of a 3/8 inch plate welded steel frame. This allows for 2-1/2” rollers on 4 1/2 inch centers. This transfer is adjustable without any conveyor disassembly.
