Flow racks otherwise known as first-in-first-out racks, cartons flow, gravity racks or gravity-fed rack. The flow racks basically enable containers, plastic bins or even loose parts to flow from back to front thanks to the inclined racks where gravity naturally forces parts to be consumed on a first-in-first-out basis. There are five types of flow racks roller racks system that are able to increase the efficiency of your production line and reduce cost in several ways.
Ideal for Kanban and lean manufacturing
The flow racking system are very ideal for Kanban system and Lean manufacturing. These types of structures are able to operate without any stoppage that would typically occur when restocking employee workstation. Implementation of gravity racks therefore increases productivity.
Types
Flow racks can be used as return lines for empty containers as these racks are used to move empty containers from the production side to the supply where the necessary parts can be replenished. This increases efficiency as the employees do not need to move to the production zone to load or unload containers.
Supermarket or marketplace racks are usually high-density flow racks which are strategically located on the production floor so as to create mini stockrooms. They are able to reduce transportation time between the production line and the storage area.
As much as most of the flow racks are designed to be in a straight line some of them are built to be in a L-shape. This type of configuration aids in reducing the need of workers making repetitive and unnecessary movements. They are widely used in automotive industry to bring parts as close as possible to the operator’s machine. They can be used in any type of industry to improve workers efficiency and safety.

Carton Flow Racks
Carton Flow Racks
Flow track =ABS wheels + steel channel
1) Made of high quality ABS and steel channel.
2) Low friction and good strike-proof.
3) The roller wheels can resist acid, alkali and moisture, can be used in humid environment.
4) The flanged profile of the roller wheel is made of zinc-coated steel to ensure Strong duration.
5) Different size is available and have many colors wheel for your choice. -

Roller racking
Roller Track racks
Roller rack can dramatically improve warehouse efficiency by organizing
product and rotating stock automatically. Long, straight, dedicated lanes
maintain product organization and keep labor costs down. Storage space
can be increased up to 60% by using a minimum of 22% less floor space,
thereby keeping building costs down. Typically, Carton Flow systems use
about half the floor space that standard pallet rack occupies and the difference
can be more dramatic with multi-level systems . The simplicity of gravity driven
systems requires less capital than maintenance-prone automated systems.
