WAREHOUSING & MATERIALS HANDLING FEATURE INTERROLL COMPLEMENTS MODULAR PALLET CONVEYOR PLATFORM (MPP) WITH STACKER CRANE AND TRANSFER CAR I
nnovative solutions for the fully automatic handling of pallets: With a
new stacker crane for dynamic storage and a transfer car, which enable the fast and safe storage and retrieval of up to 100 pallets per hour, Interroll is expanding its Modular Pallet Conveyor Platform (MPP), a flexible modular system for driven pallet conveying. The new products allow users — in seamless interaction with the proven Interroll Pallet Flow dynamic storage system — to implement extremely compact, robust and efficient pallet handling automation solutions that excel with very low planning and installation costs and high energy efficiency. With the market launch of the stacker
crane and the transfer car, companies for the first time have the opportunity to implement a continuous material flow with pallets — for example between incoming and outgoing goods or between warehouse, production and order picking — on the basis of a technology offering from a single source. This means that system integrators and plant
constructors can expand their business horizon with cost-effective plug-and- play pallet conveyor solutions, which can also be planned in a very simple and user-friendly way using Interroll's Layouter tool. "With our compact automation
platform, users can replace cost- and accident-prone forklift truck traffic and take advantage of new high-throughput pallet applications through the flexible combination of our modular conveyor and flow storage systems,” explains Michael Kuhn, managing director of Interroll Kronau GmbH. “For example, flow storage systems can now be designed as highly dynamic dispatch warehouses and the space required for automated route preparation can be significantly reduced."
STACKER CRANE FOR HIGH PALLET THROUGHPUT The heart of a highly dynamic pallet handling system is the new stacker crane, which has been perfectly designed for connection to the Pallet Flow storage

system. The lightweight construction and integrated energy recovery make the system extremely energy-efficient. The overall height is 12 meters, the horizontal travel speed is 3 meters per second and the lifting speed is 0.8 meters per second. At the initial launch, the system is designed to transport Euro pallets with a maximum weight of 800 kilograms. Adaptions for the use of additional pallet formats will be carried out step by step over the next few months. The system is equipped with an integrated lifting speed control and powerful braking systems.
