A TowerMat TM-FE2.1 cassette storage system for the storage of aluminum fittings and small parts in pallet cages and cardboard boxes was installed at the company Blecha in Neunkirchen, Austria.

The storage tower has a total height of 24 m (incl. Enclosure) and a total capacity of up to 70 system cassettes with a total of 420 spaces in EP Format (1200 x 800 mm).

Loading and unloading is by forklift truck, or manual.

A total of 6 TowerMat TM-FE 2.1 cassette storage systems store plastic injection molding tools, with a total weight of up to 1,050,000 kg.

The storage systems have an overall height of 12m, or 9m working height.

The 35 cassettes per system can store tools, with different usable heights of up to 950 mm.

This project was carried out through our partner Kardex in Norway. The storage system was clad and connected to the adjacent building. The double tower is about 19 meters high and loaded and unloaded at 3 different stations. All 3 stations are on different levels, and one of them is outdoors. The carrier units are equipped with a carrying capacity of 5000 kg. Up to 5 EUR-pallets can be stored on each of them. Warehouse management takes place over the higher-level Power Pick Global by Kardex Remstar.

4 carousels as a bridge paternoster for the storage of long goods were installed for a coater of window and door profiles in Austria. Each carousel is 25 meters deep and connected to the INT-WM warehouse management software supplied as standard. We had already supplied the same customer with a similar carousel, and a sheet metal store, the year before.

A long goods carousel with a working width of over 13 meters and 34 carrier sets was supplied to a manufacturer of expansion joints, metal bellows and metal bellows combinations. This is the fourth INTERTEX storage system that has been installed in this customer’s production hall.

INTERTEX created a carousel as a hot tower for bonded shapes for an aircraft cabin manufacturer. This hot tower serves as temporary storage and carries out tempering, during which a temperature of up to 100°C can be reached. In this way and thanks to 14 perforated carrier units with a carrying capacity of 150 kg each, a total of 28 bonded shapes are heated, dried and temporarily stored. Together with a SIEMENS-SPS controller, this tower carries out storage to the most modern level with high requirements. INTERTEX - We store it!

Different gages are stored in this carousel. The special feature of the carrier units is their 2 different loading heights (chain pitch). 14 carrier units can be loaded higher and with more weight than the remaining 14. The large carrier units are equipped with a swiveling front lip and are taken out on small rollers due to the weight. The carrier sets for the small gages are pulled out on a plastic system.

A packaging machine manufacturer from Dresden builds on Intertex’s quality.

An Intertex InterMat carousel was installed for the storage and packaging of cable harnesses.

Another successful project between Kardex (Switzerland) and Intertex: we supplied 2 identical carousels for the storage of cable reels to an enterprise in French-speaking Switzerland. Each carousel has 28 carrier sets, and each carrier set provides storage space for 25 “bobbins”. This gives a total storage capacity of 1400 “bobbins” for the two units.                              The 2 storage systems are situated outdoors right in front of the hall. Two transparent roller doors in front of the loading stations, controlled by our pre-selector control, serve firstly as trap guards when the machine is running, while also offering protection from the wind and cold.

A large number of rolls were required for the maintenance of the production system for the manufacture of flat-rolled aluminum products at a company in the USA. These rolls are stored in a roll-over store with 14 towers and 145 carrier units, for a total of 245 rolls. Depending on the diameter of the rolls, one, two or three rolls per system cassette can be stored. Special holders guarantee professional storage on set support surfaces.

Approx. 800 proto-rolls are stored in this lift store. The floorspace requirements of the previous conventional static racking was four times as high. The dynamic storage system brings enormous savings in access times.
