Industry:<\/strong> Food & Beverage (Flour Milling)
Product:<\/strong> Rayonnage \u00e0 palettes s\u00e9lectif<\/a>
Challenge:<\/strong> Floor Storage, Dust Hazard, No Warehouse Shutdown<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Client’s Challenge: Standard Racking Was Not an Option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our client, a flour manufacturer, was facing critical storage and safety bottlenecks. All bagged flour was stored directly on pallets placed on the floor. This method led to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • A disorganized warehouse floor, making inventory management difficult and falling short of hygiene standards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Underutilized vertical space, severely limiting storage capacity and hindering expansion plans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The client had explored racking solutions but encountered a significant obstacle from other suppliers. The standard pallet racking designs offered had compact aisles and beam heights, raising serious concerns about dust accumulation.<\/strong> In a flour facility, airborne dust is a major safety hazard. The risk of combustion made standard, off-the-shelf racking unworkable, and the project stalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our Solution: A Custom Solution Engineered for the Material<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We began not with a standard drawing, but with a thorough on-site assessment. Our approach focused on understanding the specific operational and environmental factors before proposing a design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Site Survey:<\/strong> We conducted detailed measurements of the warehouse, including dimensions, column spacing, floor load capacity, and the location of fire safety equipment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Material & Operations Analysis:<\/strong> We analyzed the flour packaging, pallet size (1.2m high including load), frequency of goods-in\/out, and the specific model and turning radius of the client’s forklifts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This data allowed us to engineer a custom high-bay pallet racking system<\/strong> that balanced storage efficiency with the critical need for dust mitigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
