segments of industry.
The products include easy-to-integrate drive
solutions such as drum motors for belt
conveyors, DC-powered and non-poweredrollers for conveyor systems; energy-efficient
flow storage modules for compact pallet/
container racking systems in distribution
centres; crossbelt sorters, belt curves andother user-friendly conveyor modules forcost-efficient material flow systems.
Interroll serves more than 23,000 customers,
mainly regional plant manufacturers andengineering specialists as well as system
integrators, multinational companies
and users.
Interroll has 1,500 employees working in
28 companies and is listed on the SIX Swiss
Exchange.

Interroll Pallet Roller Flow storage systems
are installed in many storage applications
and distribution centres, including ambient,chilled and cold store environments down
to -28°C.
The undisputed benefits are widely acknowledged providing one of the most compact
forms of storage, requiring minimum
handling, and offering guaranteed FIFO
order picking and accurate stock rotation –resulting in many potential increased
efficiencies.
Interroll’s dynamic pallet flow storage solutions are compatible with all major racking
systems, world wide, and we are here tohelp you explore the potential of introducing
this pallet live storage system into your logistics supply chain.
Whether you are distributing, buffering orstoring, Interroll has the right solution toimprove your efficiencies with a typical returnon investment of less than two years.

If you are operating a warehouse withconventional pallet racking and a fastthroughput of stock, Interroll Pallet Roller
Flow storage provides you the right solution
to achieve increased efficiencies, such as:

face at a controlled speed on gravity
conveyor beds

• Space saving - maximises available
storage area by reducing the number ofaisles• Faster throughput of stock with minimum
handling – as goods move automaticallyfrom the loading face to the order picking• Accurate stock rotation using FIFO
(First-In-First-Out) principles reduces wasteof fresh and date sensitive products• Shorter travel times increase order picking
efficiencies and improve productivity• Separate loading and order picking aisles
ensure safe flow of vehicles and personnel• A reduction of energy consumption“The FIFO principle, coupledwith Interroll’s proven mechanical, dynamic storage solution
with no energy consumption,
and, equally, the compact,
space-saving design thatdrastically reduces our orderpicking lines are what makethis system so attractive.”

Our engineers have developed a Pallet
Roller Flow system that incorporates innovative technology featuring a robust palletseparator with a built-in “ time plus” function
and redesigned rollers.
This latest Pallet Flow innovation contributes
to even greater safety for operatives andprovides a high quality live storage systemthat offers flexibility and efficiency in warehousing operations.
Interroll roller modules are compatible withall world wide racking systems and offer

the possibility to store a wide range of pallets
sizes and weights, including Euro pallets,
CHEP pallets, plastic pallets and metallic
containers, etc. with high throughput.

Flow storage

LoadingUnloading
Up to 60 %space saving... by improving your warehouse’s
productivity
Generally, storage costs consist of 40 %logistic costs and 7 % product costs.
Thus, monitoring of the overhead costsof operating a warehouse is a very criticalpart of management. Crucial factors are:• Interest on stock value• Depreciation and loss in value• Warehouse operational costs (lighting,heating, refrigeration, vehicle usage, etc.)• Time period for amortisation of the storage
system... by increasing your storage capacity
A Pallet Roller Flow installation maximises
the use of available warehouse spaceby requiring only two aisles for the purposeof loading the system and order picking.
The system is therefore more compact
than conventional racking and can save,on average, up to 50 % of floor space.
Moreover, picking from much shorter andcondensed picking aisle saves an averageof 70 % in travel distances.

... by increasing your warehouse’sefficiency
Picking from only one aisle simplifies
location and visual identification of palletloads, minimises order picking errors
and reduces travelling time. Therefore,
this layout contributes to significant
savings in handling times and creates
opportunities to reduce energy costs.
FIFO stock rotation has a decisive
influence on the overall cost per pallet
position and optimises stock rotationand value.
Ancillary technologies can be successfully
introduced and aid in picking accuracy
such as pick to light, counting scales,
bar code scanners and RFID systems.
Increased staff safety and vehicle efficiencies are achieved as loaders and order
pickers function in separate aisles withaisles avoiding traffic flow disrupting theindividual operations.

“Interroll flow storage has
dramatically increased efficiency
and operational safety, even atbusy handling times.”
Peter Dippel, Managing Director,
Rema Tec“The quality of Interroll dynamic
storage solutions is so high that
we decided to try a pre-owned
installation, which proved a wisedecision. It propelled our picking
performance upwards.
Our 24-hour delivery promise
for spares requires minimalthroughput times, which weachieve through our flow storage
solution from Interroll – it’s justperfect.”

DESIGN E D WITH SA F
Time Plus separator functionality
On lifting the first pallet to remove from theorder picking face, there is a 20 second
delay before the separation device releases
the next pallet in line.
This gives the forklift truck driver all thenecessary time to unload the pallet safely

before the second pallet is released.
As a result of the pedal-less system, there
is no longer pallet lift up height restriction forthe truck driver, which is especially crucial
and useful, for the forklift truck driver, whenworking at high levels with restricted visibility.

Optimised separator end stop
Interroll has developed different separator
solutions that can be combined with the“time plus” function.

Heavy duty (option)
Regular (standard)
Regular separators – up to 12 tonnesin accumulation

Safety separator function
The pressure of the accumulated pallets on
the separator stop device is not transferredto the pedal device. There is no risk that thepedal at the unloading side lifts up.
This ensures safety in operation even withlight pallets on the pedal system andHeavy duty separators – for applications
involving long lanes conveying up to20 tonnes and more of accumulated pallets,
Interroll offers new reinforced separationdevices with two independent stops fordouble safety assurance.

generally ensures the separating device
functions reliably and requires minimum
maintenance.
Due to the separator stop device, the accumulated pallets cannot be released until
the leading pallet is removed.
