OverviewAutomatic vertical carousel storage system engineered for printing cylinders and similar cylindrical components. Configurable solutions adapt to varied diameters and weights and can be integrated with existing load-handling equipment and inventory systems. A precise specification sheet is required to define holding points and ensure safe handling.
Applications- Paper cylinders
- Goffering cylinders
- Coating cylinders
- Etching cylinders
- Sleeves
- PMS sleeves
- Anilox
- Other cylindrical printing components
Storage methodThe fragile nature of these components requires hanging by ends (tips) or by a designated holding point. Tool-free, intuitive locking simplifies loading operations. Carousels can be adapted to the site layout and existing handling machinery to minimise manual handling.
Options and accessories- Storage level numbering
- Cell rail
- Full housing
- Removable anti-theft rail
- Fully enclosed rear
