Flow rack is a relatively common type of shelf. It uses roller aluminum alloy, sheet metal and other roller tracks. It uses the dead weight of the goods rack to store goods from one channel and pick up goods from the other channel to achieve first-in, first-out, convenient storage, and multiple times of replenishment. Flow racks has high storage efficiency and is suitable for short-term storage and picking of large quantities of goods. As a result, flow racks are receiving more and more attention. Next, WJ-LEAN will introduce it in detail.
1. The roller track of the flow rack is directly connected to the front and rear crossbeam and the middle support beam, and the crossbeam is directly hung on the pillar like other racks. The installation angle of the roller track usually depends on the size, weight and depth of the flow rack. The bearing capacity of the roller track is about 6kg/piece. When the goods are heavy, 3-4 roller tracks can be installed in a raceway. Generally, a support beam is installed every 0.6m in the depth direction to increase the rigidity of the roller track. When the raceway is long, the raceway can be separated by a partition plate, and the brake pad needs to be installed at the pickup end to slow down the goods and reduce the impact.
2.Flow racks are evolved from crossbeam shelves and medium-sized shelves. Roller tracks are added between the front and rear beams of the shelves, with an angle of about 4-5 degrees. The goods mainly slide from the high end to the low end by their own weight. Compared with other common shelves, the structure of flow racks can meet the first-in, first-out requirements, thus improving work efficiency.
3. Flow racks can be divided into medium type and heavy type according to the layer load. The medium type flow racks are mostly three or four columns, with a depth of 1.2 meters or about 2 meters. The heavy type flow racks are mostly two columns or three columns, with a depth of 1.5 meters or about 2 meters.
