PHARMACEUTICAL AND CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES

Precision and Process Reliability

for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries

The demands placed on pharmaceutical and chemical warehouses are enormous. Whether it’s precise temperature monitoring in different storage zones, high process transparency with clear product traceability, cleanroom and hygiene regulations, or FEFO (First Expired – First Out) storage principles—automated storage systems in these industries must meet high standards. In addition to meeting all technical specifications, DAMBACH also complies with strict security requirements regarding access control and monitoring.

Rack-Feeding Machines

DAMBACH storage and retrieval machines handle a wide variety of pallet sizes, including custom pallets made of aluminum and plastic. Their low-vibration design ensures process-friendly handling of sensitive pharmaceutical products. Single-mast and double-mast series cover all standard requirements.

About the stacker cranes

Conveyor Systems

Roller conveyors, chain conveyors, turntables, vertical conveyors, and transfer cars form the continuous material flow from the warehouse to the shipping area. Easy maintenance and a standardized modular design ensure system availability in pharmaceutical operations.

Conveyor Systems

Load-bearing devices

Custom-designed load-securing devices for customer pallets and containers. Passive and active systems stabilize the cargo during transport, even for partially filled liquid containers and partial pallets.

Load-bearing devices

Control

From in-house pre-wiring to custom control hardware and integrated software. Remote diagnostics and maintenance via VPN, energy savings of up to 40 percent through intelligent energy management with regenerative braking.

FAQs

Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals

Certain flammable substances require particularly stringent safety standards for storage and conveyor systems as well as building services. Electronic components are insulated, drives are enclosed, and special ventilation and fire protection systems are installed.

Depending on the load carriers and products, low-wear load-bearing components and lubricants that have undergone special hygiene testing are used. Additional requirements, such as extremely low ambient temperatures, necessitate further modifications to the bearing and conveyor systems.

Warehouse management systems can track the exact assignment of items to each storage location. Rack-feeding machines or shuttle systems equipped with appropriate load-handling attachments handle the storage and retrieval of individual items.
