Maintain productivity and smooth operations.

Delivering a compact, cost-effective solution that streamlines layouts, reduces complexity, and supports efficient automation handling.

Benefits

Space efficiency

Save valuable floor space through vertical accumulation. The compact vertical design minimizes floor space requirements.

Simplified system design

Maximize productivity and simplify facility integration through a streamlined design that lowers installation effort and makes operation and maintenance easier.

Versatile flow management

Maintain efficient product flow where sequencing is not required and enable pass-through operation when accumulation is unnecessary.

Features

Efficient process integration

This solution acts as a buffer or holding zone in production lines for non-critical pharmaceutical bulk handling. 

First product in, last product out  

The FILO principle means the most recently added tubs are the first to be processed. This is advantageous in secondary packaging operations and cost-sensitive production environments with relaxed sequencing requirements. 

Expiry management  

The system includes features for expiry management while maintaining a simple, mechanically reliable design. It is specifically designed for handling tubs between machines with minimal accumulation needs.
