MOBILE PALLET RACKING APPLICATIONS
ORION’s baseline plan was as follows:
New warehouse building of 4,411 m2, of 93.3 m long, 47.3 wide and 13 m high.
Unit load: Drums mounted on pallets carrying four units, specially sized at 1,140 x 1,140 mm and 1,200 mm x 1,200 mm.
The need to maintain two separate storage temperatures: the ambient storage area and the cold storage area.
Taking this information into account, along with the customer’s needs, Mecalux opted to install Movirack mobile racking of towering dimensions: A total of 38 mobile bases, 10.5 m high, and with two different lengths: 22.77 m and 19.95 m.
After adapting the racking structure to suit the dimensions of the pallets used by Nufri, the Movirack units were organised into three different blocks, thus optimising their capacity and functionality. The cold storage area is made up of a total of 31 mobile bases, arranged as one block of 16 bases each 22.77 m long and a second, parallel to the first, of 15 bases each 19.95 m long. In this way, the width of the warehouse is used to the fullest.
The third block has been installed in the ambient storage area, with seven bases of 22.77 m, completed with conventional pallet racking. With a view to the future expansion of the company, this third block can be easily extended to include an additional five mobile bases.

Since goods are stored in a compact position until the operator selects the aisle needed for work, and the racks open in a cascade formation, leaving just the necessary aisle open, just one aisle per block is needed to access goods. This means that this solution offers an extremely significant saving in terms of space and an increase in storage capacity of more than 50% when compared to an installation using conventional pallet racking.

ADVANTAGES FOR THE CUSTOMER
Since opening this new storage installation in November 2014, these are a few of the immediate advantages Nufri has experienced:
High storage capacity: The Movirack installation allows for the storage of 11,002 pallets of 1,140 x 1,140 x 1,114 mm and 1,200 x 1,200 x 1,114 mm in 4,411 m2.
Cost savings: Nufri has been able to make savings in the cost of the floor space necessary for production, as well as in energy consumption, since using Movirack has allowed them to reduce the volume that needs to be refrigerated in the cold storage area.
Keeping the product in optimal conditions: The Movirack mobile bases include a parking mode by default. This means the space taken up by the aisle, when not in use, is distributed evenly between all the racks, setting them an equal distance apart, improving the flow of air in the warehouse.
Reinforcement of the brand image: Nufri’s new installation is in line with the company’s values, since it demonstrates their commitment to innovation, quality and sustainability.
Therefore, the storage project developed and implemented by Mecalux for Nufri has met and exceeded the company’s original goals. Movirack mobile bases, adapted to meet the specific temperature requirements and measurements of the installation and load, have provided Nufri with the required increase in capacity, as well as adding value that will lead to greater satisfaction for their customers.
