Intermat

I nterMat Paternosters are carousels designed for specific applications such as extremely heavy or long goods or special spatial conditions or the like. The special-purpose intermat paternoster can be tailored to given conditions as portal paternoster, for example, to allow the full utilisation of free space above production lines, in-plant transit ways or even dead spaces in corners for storage.

Special purpose carousel solution systems utilize two accepted storage and retrieval technologies: the vertical footprint of the department and the horizontal airspace along the ceiling. The Long Goods Carousel Storage System uses the space saving advantages of the Vertical Carousel and the ability to utilize the overhead space available for product movement of the Overhead Conveyor. The Dynamic Storage Carousel System is designed with carriers (shelves) specifically for your product. The engineering of the carriers are based on the specific design characteristics of the product to be stored. Carrier pitch (height) is limited to the height, depth and width of the product. This permits the storage of large bulky items such as carpet rolls, paper rolls, print cylinders, bar stock, pallets loads, and wire or cable reels. By using a series of gears, the system can carry the carriers along a horizontal storage loop that parallels the floor, and still allows for production areas to safely occupy the floor space underneath.

In confined areas that are enclosed with three walled sides, a serpentine carousel design can be utilized to increase storage density and provide a consistent standardized pick up and delivery point for stored items. If access of the items stored is required from the top by a lifting device such as a crane, a boom or fork truck, the Dynamic Carousel Storage System can be engineered with a bull-nose pick-up / delivery station. This eliminates any closed top or inhibited access to the items stored by delivering the product outside the carousel in a forward delivery position without a carrier position above it.
