ALZAMORA

Automated warehouse with DOUBLE-DEPTH SHELVING

Alzamora Packing, SA’s new industrial plant has been equipped with an automated warehouse that features double-depth shelving units designed to organize and centralize their stock of raw materials, production equipment and finished products. Designed with only two aisles of shelving, the warehouse boasts the capacity to store over 8,000 pallets.

The company’s new warehouse is approximately 90 meters long and 26 meters high. It has two entrances for palletised goods, one for raw materials and production equipment and another for finished products. In both cases, a shuttle car is in charge of collecting pallets and transferring them to a roller track, which leaves them within reach of the forks of stacker cranes. Equipment is loaded on 1300mm and 1500mm high Europallets because, in order to store its die moulds, Alzamora uses its own metallic cages that have been adapted to fit the pallet structure. In addition, the system allows the load to protrude five centimetres along the length and width of pallets, so that for an 800mm x 1200mm Europallet, the maximum dimensions of the load stored on it would be 850mm x 1250mm.
