Technical execution
Flow racks are made up of a support frame system and flow levels. The support frame system bears the flow levels and is dimensioned in relation to load and size depending on operating requirements: The flow levels are integrated in the support frame system and adjustable in height and angle. Their design (number of channels, flow depth, load and properties of the running surface of the load carriers used) depends on the material to be conveyed.
Versions
Light load flow level
Combined flow level
Heavy load flow level
