The braking roller is based on a patented mechanical braking system that comprises just four components, while the roller’s TPE (thermoplastic rubber) surface increases the adhesion factor. In addition to being compatible with BITO’s modular carton live system the new braking roller can be retro-fitted to existing systems.
Another important feature of BITO’s braking roller is that it prevents load carriers accelerating beyond control on their way to the picking face. This can happen in long carton live lanes where, depending on the lane incline and on the make and total weight of the load carrier, storage or distribution bins will hit the lane’s front stop or the bins waiting at the picking face with an excessive impact that could damage the bin and container contents.
The new braking roller is manufactured by BITO-Lagertechnik Bittmann GmbH of Meisenheim (Germany), the storage specialist and manufacturer of shelving & racking and plastic bins & containers, is available in the UK from Nuneaton-based subsidiary, BITO Storage Systems Ltd.
