Fluxus Solutions GmbH: PALLET PUSH BACK SYSTEM (PPS)

Pallet Push Back System (PPS)

The pallet push back system is a very compact racking system for pallets and other large load carriers. Storage takes place according to the LiFo principle (Last in, First out). The PPS consists of a pallet racking system adapted for this purpose with gravity roller conveyors built into it. These usually have a gradient of approx. 4%.

The pallets are placed on the foremost pallet position with a suitable fork lift truck, and the pallets already in this lane are moved backwards into the lane by one position via the easy-running idler rollers against the gradient. The necessary thrust is generated by the storage device (fork lift truck).

When the foremost pallet is removed, the remaining pallets run back by one storage space, driven by gravity, and are thus ready for the next retrieval process. Our tried-and-tested brake rollers ensure a controlled tracking speed of the pallets and a gentle stop at the end stop.

Advantages and application of the pallet push back racking system

Constant access to the stored goods in the LiFo principle (Last in First out).

Better structuring of warehousing processes and thus increase productivity by up to by up to 30 %.

Compatible with all common racking systems.

Use existing storage space up to 80 % more efficiently.

Can be used with Euro, Chep and half pallets, and even with one-way pallets if the pallet quality is suffi cient.

Pallet weights: 80 to 1,200 kg (higher weights possible on request).

Frequent applications: • Buffer storage in production, incoming & outgoing goods. • Finished goods / shipping warehouse for goods suitable for the LiFo principle. • Use of hall areas where no other racking system can be installed for accessibility reasons.

PALLET PUSH BACK SYSTEM (PPS) IN DETAIL

Idler roller

Round tube diameter 60 mm galvanised with two semiprecision bearings on stub axles.
Up to a load capacity of 240 daN.

Brake roller transmission

Sturdy plastic housing with built-in planetary gear. Transmits the speed of the pallet to the internal centrifugal brake.
Version also for deepfreeze area.

Side profiles

U- and L-Profil made of band galvanised material with a high material quality as well as a material thickness of 3 mm for a maximum static load.

End stop

Ensures that no load can be pushed beyond the end of the track.

Connecting bracket

For fixing the roller track segments to the support beams of the racking system.
Fast and easy assembly.
Suitable for every racking system.

Mounting bracket

For fixing the first and last roller track segment on a conventional rack beam if no angle beams are used.
Fast and easys assembly.
Available for almost all racking systems.

Full width segment:

For operation by a fork truck with a tilting mast.

3-track segment:

For operation by a fork truck with a non-tilt mast (e.g. AGV).

Brake roller

Round tube diameter 80 mm galvanised with a semi-precision bearing, as well as a special brake roller transmission.
Keeps the pallet speed constant and ensures a gentle stop of the load carriers at the end stop.
Optionally also available in friction coating version.

Free-wheel support

Prevents the braking effect in the direction of pushing. The fork lift is relieved of load.
The brake transmission is decoupled during the loading process and is thus protected.

Spacer

Serves to brace the roller conveyor segments.
The newly developed shape ensures the parallelism of the side profi les. This simplifies assembly and ensures the straight running of the load units.

Hinge for tiltable floor tracks

Optionally, the lowest level of the roller tracks can be fitted with hinges that allow the tracks to be folded upwards for cleaning purposes.
This is often absolutely necessary, especially in the food industry.

Angle support beam

Serves as a robust end stop and is also recommended as a support crossbar for the foremost and rearmost roller conveyor segment.
Approx. 100 mm space saving in height compared to standard support beams.
Available for almost all racking systems.

Wheel stop rail

Protects the entire racking system from collision damage by the fork truck and incorrect operation due to the forks being retracted too low.
Supports the operator in the safe operation of the system.

2-track segment:

For operation by a fork truck with a non-tilt mast (e.g. AGV).
