UNEX Manufacturing Introduces FlowCell Accessories

Written by UNEX | Nov 16, 2016 3:36:56 PM

UNEX Manufacturing, Inc., the trusted industry leader in providing innovative order picking solutions, introduces several accessories for its modular flow rack systems, FlowCell. Customer or distributor requests drove the demand for a few FlowCell accessories. We also designed new accessories after observing actual applications of UNEX products in the field and identifying ways to enhance products for customer use. Other modifications introduced, such as the cantilever beams, will expand the capability of UNEX FlowCells into applications served by other products.

"One of the best ways to boost productivity, improve ergonomics, eliminate waste and maximize your space is to implement our Flow Cells into your assembly, manufacturing, or order picking processes," said Brian C. Neuwirth, VP Sales and Marketing, UNEX Manufacturing. "These accessories improve Lean Manufacturing practices because tools, parts, and electronic equipment can be placed right by your fingertips, eliminating excess movement and wasted time."

 
Accessories for UNEX FlowCells include:

Cantilever Beams (New!)

Used for handling non-flowable or odd-shaped items, available in lengths of 12, 18, and 24 inches, all with a 15-degree angle. These can be mounted angled up or down and hold weights 180, 135, and 90 pounds, respectively.

Overhead Tool Bar
