High throughput

13 April 2015

A leading Ukrainian supplier of pharmaceuticals and medical products has implemented a simple and economic system from AmbaFlex to eliminate a bottle neck in the product flow in its distribution centres. The challenge was that tapered totes with ampoules and small cartons needed to be elevated with a high throughput but using minimum floor space.

When conveying rigid shipment cases with repeating form factors, as in this case, a spiral conveyor may look over-engineered. It offers the space saving and achieves the throughput far better than the platform elevator alternative, but a full spec spiral conveyor may be out of budget.

With this in mind, AmbaFlex designed the ToteLift, a lean solution providing exactly what’s needed in the simplest way possible, providing a high throughput using minimum floor space.
