Initial situation & task
Schwingshandl realised the retrofit and expansion of the entire conveyor technology, including the pre-zone and order picking, for a manufacturer of industrial systems. The existing system was technically outdated and had to be completely modernised.
As there was only a limited time window available for the conversion during the company holidays, the entire system had to be set up, electrically wired, commissioned and tested in a separate hall in advance.
Realisation
The existing conveyor system was completely dismantled and replaced with an innovative timing belt conveyor system. In order to meet the tight time frame on site, the new system was set up identically in advance, comprehensively tested and pre-commissioned.
Once the preliminary tests had been completed, the conversion and commissioning on site was carried out efficiently and on schedule during the company holidays.
Components used
- Conveyor technology based on timing belt conveyors
- Transfer modules in the form of timing belt converters
- Transfer stations to the storage and retrieval machine as electromechanical lifting stations
- Container conveyor technology consisting of belt conveyors, roller conveyors, toothed belt transfer units and toothed belt lifters
Added value
- Successful retrofit and expansion within a very short time frame
- Minimisation of downtimes through advance assembly and testing
- Efficient, future-proof conveyor technology
- High planning reliability for complex conversion and retrofit projects
