Second transformer plant with fully automated cantilever storage system for steel coils in China

For the second time in three years, Vollert's intralogistics specialists have received an order from TBEA to build a fully automated storage and material flow system for steel coils, including a high-bay warehouse. The twin plant for the production of transformer cores in Tianjin, China, is being built in the immediate vicinity of the first production plant. Handling the sensitive steel coils requires sensitive heavy-duty technology and sophisticated storage logic with high structural requirements.

Intralogistics made fit - without production downtime

A new stacker crane for 11-ton aluminum coils and a modern automatic crane system for extruded profiles have been speeding up the production processes of Hydro Aluminium Rolled Products and Neuman Aluminium since the beginning of the year. For the replacement of the central conveyor systems, two Vollert teams took advantage of the short production-free period over Christmas. With foresighted planning, they mastered the complex tasks even in the tightest of spaces and under tightened pandemic conditions.

A breath of fresh air for anode production

TRIMET Aluminium SE uses a new and so far unique in the world technique for the cooling of green anodes in its Hamburg factory: The pilot plant reduces the resource usage and dispenses with active cooling by water. Instead TRIMET relies on cooling by natural convection with outside air – and this with success.

SSAB stores up to 6000 tons of steel in a high-bay warehouse

The steel manufacturer SSAB in Oxelösund produces steel plates in one minute tact cycle. The information which plate comes next for what customer is only available three minutes prior to the production exit, thus the intralogistics system must react with appropriate speed. The solution supplied by the Vollert plant engineering company from Weinsberg, is achieved by conversion from a surface warehouse to a high-bay warehouse system with two MEGA AS/RS that enable short cycle times despite loads of tonnages.

Caution, People Hard At Work!

When others are running out of steam, the engineers at Vollert Anlagenbau are just getting into their stride, specialising in intralogistics systems for heavy goods – especially for the metalworking industry. For the aluminium extrusion works of apt Hiller for example, Vollert developed a fully automated intralogistics system which facilitates an end-to-end material flow from the extrusion works to the processing department and then on to the downstream anodising plant and newly constructed shipping warehouse. Major parts of the new system were installed and existing systems modernised and integrated while production was ongoing. As well as a higher handling capacity, the virtual warehouse of the transport control system allows optimum utilisation of the space offered by in-process stores, even with different sizes of transport basket.
