The solution to store plastic in big bags
The warehouse provides a storage capacity of 1,697 pallets with big bags
Up and running since 2002, Vicom is a Barcelona based company that manufactures and sells all classes of rubber, plastic, latex and resin. Its team of professionals is tasked with developing new components to fulfil emerging customer demands.
Vicom owns and operates a finished products warehouse next to its manufacturing centre in the town of Olèrdola (Barcelona). The business needed to expand its storage space, as well as increase the installation’s productivity to ensure efficient customer care.
The company, which has collaborated with Mecalux previously, required expert advice on a solution that would be a good fit for its growing needs.
After analysing Vicom’s requirements, Mecalux equipped the warehouse with two blocks of Movirack mobile pallet racking. The first of these has seven mobile racks and the second has nine. Big bag type sacks are stored here on top of pallets.
This high-density storage system makes maximum use of available space by eliminating the number of aisles.
The racks are placed on mobile bases that move laterally and independently. The operator must send an order through a remote control to open the aisle where the required goods are housed.
The system is fitted out with sliders, electronic equipment and several safety devices that protect both the operators and the stored goods:
