Pallet Flow Roller Flow FIFO Product information Product description The Pallet Roller Flow is a dynamic storage system for heavy loads. It ensures the controlled descent of pallets. Speed controllers control the descent of loads at a constant speed. On the unloading site, the separator isolates the pallet from the pressure of the accumulated line of pallets.

Thanks to the Time Plus function, the separator flap remains in the low position for 5 to 30 seconds (depending on the settings). In case of a picking error, the Time Plus function even enables the container to be replaced in the lane as long as the separator stop is not locked.
