It may be a bit difficult to see what the photos show
but it is in fact two lifts.
We have produced three lifts for one of our Norwegian
customers, two of the blue type and one of the green. One of the
lifts is already installed at the customer's.
The
blue lifts have a lifting capacity of one ton and the green a
capacity of 500 kg. The total height of
the lifts is 8.9 m
so we only see them lying on the floor as we would have to cut a
hole in the ceiling to be able to place them in a vertical position.
Match-making meetings between Russian and Danish
Manufacturers
We have had a visit from a delegation of 10 Russian furniture
manufacturers from the
Kaliningrad
area. This visit was a part of a one week trip to Denmark arranged by The Danish Federation
of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises with the purpose of
establishing business relations to Danish manufacturers of machinery
and other equipment for furniture production.
The Kaliningrad-Oblast area was before the Second World War the
German region of Prussia and the
birthplace of the well-known Chancellor, Bismarck. In this area
there are many furniture factories producing for the Russian market.
As materials handling equipment for the furniture industry is one of
Q-System's expertises it was rather obvious to pay us a visit during
the trip to Denmark.
Alfred Priess A/S of
Denmark
has started using a new conveyor system. This plant has streamlined
the manufacturing process in the part of the production where masts
for lamp post are manufactured.
Additionally, the working environment has been much improved as all
heavy liftings and other kinds of straining manual handling have
been eliminated.
We have supplied
Pepsi Cola with a conveyor system for handling pallets loaded with cans.
The system is an addition to
an existing conveyor line and comprises a turntable that turns the
pallet before it runs onto the transverse Q conveyor. Further down
the line some of the pallets are angle-transferred onto another Q
conveyor line, while others continue to the end of the conveyor.
Pepsi
Cola are very satisfied with the conveyor system and have already now
set another conveyor project in motion.
The plant
is being tested at Q-System A
similar plant is installed at Velux Poland
Velux, the Danish manufacturer of skylights,
has bought yet another Q handling system – this time for their new
Russian factory.
Together with Velux we have just made a factory
acceptance test of the transport and handling system which is going
to be delivered to Velux's new factory in
Rostov. The plant comprises 6 double scissor
lifting tables, each with a load capacity of 6 tonnes, driven pallet
conveyors and a 6 m long operator-driven transfer cart.
The plant is to be installed at the raw materials
reception. Here a bundle of wood is placed on the transfer cart by
forklift truck whereupon the driver of the cart takes it to one of
the six work stations each comprising a lifting table and a pallet
conveyor.
The cart driver transfers the bundle to the lifting
table being in bottom position. The operator can now raise the table
to working height and start feeding wood into the machine. The
pallet conveyor is for waste wood et cetera which will be picked up
and transported away on the transfer cart.
In 2006 we supplied
Velux's factory in Poland a similar plant so Velux Russia know that
they will get a plant that works 100 per cent as they want it to; so
no unpleasant surprises in store!

You simply build a
bridge!
Through our Dutch
partner, Integrated Logistic Systems (ILS), we have just handed-over
a pallet handling system to the company of Hegron, which is a
manufacturer of a variety of hair and body care products.
Hegron has just
built a new warehouse next to the existing building. The problem
was, however, that there is a road between the existing building and
the new warehouse.
No More Lifting and Strenuous Manual Handling of
Heavy Items
Throughout industry and no more so than in furniture production the
new safety regulations covering repetitive and heavy lifts during
the day have caused concern.
How to protect the health and safety of the employees when wrapping
and shipping cabinets while at the same time maintaining efficiency.
The solution to this has now been found and implemented jointly by
JKE Design and Q-System: a conveyor line which eliminates both the
many daily lifts and the strenuous manual handling of high and heavy
cabinets.
Linpac Plastics
Chose a Q Pallet Conveyor System for
Their Finished Goods
Our
British partner, Andrews Automation, has recently finalised the
installation of an extensive pallet handling system with Linpac
Plastics who is a leading worldwide producer of a wide range of
rigid plastic and expanded EPS food packaging trays. The system is
designed to transport finished products from manufacturing to the
ware-house.
New conveyor plant from Q-System is the logistic key
in Montana's
new spraying department
Q-System sells high quality, individuality and creativity in its
handling solutions
– and the possibility of adding to the conveyor systems. This is
probably why Montana chose Q-System to supply the handling system
required to streamline
Montana's spraying department and, not
least, improve the working environment.
