Constantia Teich: High-Tech Warehouse for Aluminum Coils
To support the rolling mill expansion at Constantia Teich in the Pielach Valley in Lower Austria, Vollert provided a custom expansion of the existing high-bay warehouse for aluminum coils, extending it to a length of 150 m. In addition to a 23-meter-high stacker crane, Vollert supplied several manipulators and transfer cars and ensured integration with the existing control and safety systems.
Valtra: Tractors Every Minute
Finnish manufacturer Valtra relies on a clever intralogistics solution for coating tractors. It not only allows chassis weighing up to eight tons to be coated overhead, but also to be buffered in a closed circuit and guided around corners. Two chain pushers in combination with friction wheel drives are used for this purpose. The lean solution guarantees continuous production in automotive eight-minute cycles.
