EISENMANN

Conveyor Systems
EISENMANN designs and builds plants for surface finish-
ing, material flow automation, environmental technology,
firing lines for ceramics and special installations for
coating, recycling, thermal treatment and energy recovery.
Approximately 2,800 employees worldwide, half of them
engineers or technicians, develop new ideas in the areas
of production, painting, assembly and distribution.
Among them are experts and specialists with solid know-
how in various areas of expertise and industry sectors.
This is an advantage that results in customized concepts
with state-of-the-art technology and a high degree of
economic efficiency.
Another result of our efficient production and assembly
strategies: Our production centers are tailored to the
individual requirements of our customers. We design a
plant configuration especially adapted to your needs.
When complex systems are involved, we
assemble the entire plant in our factory
before delivering it, and we put the system
to the acid test. Only when the pre-
assembled function modules have passed
the test run, will they be handed over to
the customer. This method saves consider-
able time and cost for assembly and
commissioning on site and enables the
installation in your plant without even
interrupting your production process.
Of course, we will assist you after commis-
sioning at your demand: Our Aftersales
Service provides professional maintenance,
short repair times and immediate provision
of spare parts.

Products Overview

Beverage Industry
The electric monorail system (EMS) is a fast and intelli-
gent means of transport with high throughputs. This is
why beverage manufacturers have a speci al preference
for this form of materials handling.
Photo, top: At VELTINS, an EMS masters the 300 m slope
up and down between goods receiving and empties sort-
ing and back to the bottling stations without requiring
additional support to get up the slope.
Photo, centre: EMS track in the logistics centre of
SINEBRYCHOFF, the Scandinavian brewery group.
The EMS serves to connect the bottling lines with the
high-bay storage area and transportation from there
to picking and loading on trucks (goods dispatching).
Photo, left: This mineral water bottler solves its entire
in-house flow of material for full goods and empties
pallets with the EMS. The system overcomes differences
in height over several storeys through a fast lifter; the
EMS bridge connects filling and shipping areas situated
far apart from each other.

Warehouse and Shipping
Photo, top: To handle the high throughput rates from
production to the warehouse and goods dispatching, this
producer of hygienic products decided for the EISENMANN
electric monorail system.
Photo, top: Pick-to-light directly at the EMS. This
picking centre was implemented for the first time at
a Swedish furniture giant.
Photo, left: The VarioTow towing system, newly-
developed by EISENMANN, supports goods distribution
in forwarding and goods distribution centres. Here,
the classical manual carriage is simply towed by the
EMS chassis to its destination.

EMS with Wireless Power Transmission
Left: Electric monorail system in the assembly plant for
airplane components. Instead of using contact bus bars,
the energy and data transmission takes place entirely
inductively without any direct contact.
EMS for Airline Catering
Right: Electric monorail system connects trolley retrieval
with the kitchen and picking in the Catering area of
leading international airlines worldwide.
Roses Moved Rapidly
With 180 m per minute, the quickest EMS in the world:
The "Aalsmeer Shuttle" transports flowers and potted
plants via an 18 km-long track from the auction halls
to the shipment halls of individual wholesalers.
Electrical Monorail System
Electro Pallet Conveyors EPC
This floor-based conveying system, which uses important
components from the electric monorail system, is the
ideal alternative to continuous conveyors. The EPC can
be used flexibly for all floor conveyors and enables
lengthwise and crosswise movements through a clever
switching technique.
Depending on space conditions, loads and throughput,
one-rail systems (as in the top photo) or two-rail
systems can be used.

provider to connect high-bay storage areas and picking
stations.

Flexibility through modular construction: EISENMANN's pallet conveyor systems can manage all kinds of pallets.
EISENMANN pallet conveyor systems ensure efficient
handling of goods. Mesh boxes or pallets - with our
systems, transport units with a wei ght of up to
1,500 kg reach the right destination at the right time!
Together with turntables, corner transfer units, shuttles
and other peripheral units, the roller conveyor or the
chain conveyor make the perfect system.
Pallet Conveyor System
Conveyor for Heating Systems
P&F conveyor moves burner housings
efficiently through the paint shop.
Sorting Storage
At this automotive supplier, the P&F provides the
conveyance needs for painting, work-in-process
storage and sortation buffers from which the parts
are transported to the assembly lines.
Robust & Flexible
A Power&Free system transports
tightly packed hangers with shelf
elements through pretreatment
and dip coating in a paint shop.
The dipping process takes place
in phased mode with lowered
Free rail.

Custom Conveyors
Rail Transport with Inductive Energy
This shuttle with inductive energy and information
transmission links receiving with the storage-and-
retrieval unit in the warehouse.
Safe Handling for Roller Containers
Special floor conveyor systems from EISENMANN
automate the handling of roller containers in
different processes (sorting, buffering, decoupling
and separating).
Container Conveyor Technology for Small
Parts Transport
The ideal system for the automatic small parts storage:
Conveyor systems for lightweight plastic containers and
cardboard boxes up to 50 kg in the logistics center of a
publishing house.
Tray Conveyor for Spare Parts Handling
Efficient roundabout: Up to 240 tr ays with spare parts
for electric motors and gears pass the picking stations
each hour in this huge spare parts center in South
Germany.

Push Platform
Moving assembly lines have long been standard in the
final assembly of cars. But in other areas as well such
as in module assembly (photo above), push platform
conveyor systems have been brought into use.

Assembly Conveyors
Heavy Load EMS
Electric monorail systems for use in vehi cle assembly.
Lifting chain hangers enable lowering and raising into
ergonomically favourable assembly positions.
In-Floor Conveyors
Furniture Factory
The 400 m-long in-floor conveyor in this kitchen furni-
ture factory connects the production to the shipping
department. At the same time, the conveyor acts as a
distribution loop to assemble complete customer orders.
Parcel Service at the Freight Terminal
At this terminal, several hundred tons of goods are
sorted and distributed according to their destination
with an in-floor conveyor. The 600 m conveyor
connects the truck dispatch stations directly to the
rail yard.
