With KenWei’s Vertical Carousels, space won’t be a problem for storage. It enhances the capacity of an area with a minimal footprint. It’s an all-inclusive solution to solve your storage needs and maximize space utilization.
What is a Vertical Carousel?
Vertical vertical carousel is a kind of vertical storage system. It utilizes the space between the floor and the ceiling and converts it into storage while using a minimal footprint. Almost anything can be stored in the storage compartments and fetched when required. It is preferred for inventory management because it saves space and makes it more efficient.
Think of a Vertical Carousel as a Ferris wheel. The storage compartments are attached to a conveyor belt. They rotate in a loop in forward and reverse directions with the help of a motor. The movement is controlled by a control system that decides which direction offers quicker delivery of the required item at the access port.
Users only need to enter the item they want through the interface. The control system will move the relevant storage compartment to the access port from where the item can be collected easily, quickly, and safely.
Types of Vertical Carousels
Based on the movement of storage compartments, vertical carousels are divided into two main categories.
Vertical Carousel Module
The Vertical Carousel Module is the classic type in which compartments move up and down. It is similar to a Ferris Wheel or chain bucket elevator. The conveyor system or chain is placed vertically to move the compartments in the required fashion.
It is suitable for places where the ceiling height is high, and there is enough empty space. It converts the useless space into storage space.
The dimensions of our vertical carousel module can be up to 3.8m (Length) x 1.45m (Depth) x 80.00m (Height). These can be adjusted according to the needs of the customer. The carousel can bear up to 28000kg (each carrier can handle up to 500kg), making it a perfect storage option for space saving.
Horizontal Carousel Module
In the Horizontal Carousel Module, the storage compartments move left to right and vice versa. The conveyor system is placed horizontally.
These are ideal for spaces where the ceiling height is relatively low. It uses the horizontal space and the available height to create an optimized storage space with a minimal footprint.
KenWei’s Horizontal Carousel Module can be up to 5.9 meters to 46.7 meters in length. They have more carriers compared to the vertical module and can go from 16 carriers to 120 carriers. The carrier payload can be up to 50 to 300kg.
Benefits of KenWei’s Vertical Carousels
Space-saving
Our vertical carousel turns a small area into a large storage space. It utilizes the redundant space between the ceiling and floor and makes storing items more convenient. It offers 12 carriers where you can store plenty of small to medium sized items. Customers can request the size of each carrier according to their needs.
The storage system has an area of only 4.0 meters x 1.8 meters. However, it can store up to 28000kg of load, and each carrier can handle up to 500kg. That said, it allows you to store a massive number of items with minimal footprint. It can increase the storage area by 60%.
Increased Productivity
With our vertical carousels, access to the required item becomes easier and quicker than ever before. Operators do not need to find any item in racks or shelves and waste their time wandering the warehouse. They just need to enter the item they need, and the vertical carousel will fetch it for them.
The running speed of the vertical carousel is 4-6 m/minute. It makes accessing an item a breeze. It improves the productivity of any facility be it a manufacturing factory or a warehouse.
Better Inventory Organization and Control
Inventory management is a headache for warehouse managers and business owners. Without a computerized and efficient system, it could badly affect the overall business performance and user experience of the end customer.
But if you have our vertical carousels, you can organize all your inventory in minimal space. You have comprehensive details of the items, which helps in restocking items at the right time. You can monitor everything in real-time. We also offer a built-in Warehouse Management System, which can be easily integrated with the existing ERP. Not only do the items remain organized but also safe from dust and the ambient environment.
Vertical carousels also allow you to control who can access items and who can’t. It’s possible to set a username and password for inventory or storage compartments.
Safety
Our vertical carousels ensure the safety of the operators or warehouse workers. They do not need to use ladders to reach a high shelf and pick up a heavy item from there. They just need to enter what they need on the interface. The storage system will fetch that item and bring it to the access port, which is at a suitable height.
Workers can lift the item easily from the access port. There is a dedicated multifunction work surface. It is specifically designed after considering ergonomics and safety. Eventually, the number of injuries and accidents is reduced.
Cost-saving
You need to invest in vertical carousels, but it cuts various operational costs. Firstly, it utilizes the space optimally, so you don’t need extra space for storing inventory. You can even manage within the space you already have. Eventually, you can save the energy cost that is required for an extra area. Secondly, the labor is reduced as fewer people can handle the machine easily.
