PHARMACEUTICAL AND CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Precision and process reliability

for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries

The demands placed on pharmaceutical and chemical warehouses are enormous. Whether it involves 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 stringent requirements. In addition to all technical specifications, DAMBACH also meets strict security requirements for access control and monitoring.

Stacker cranes

DAMBACH stacker cranes handle a wide variety of pallet sizes, including custom pallets made of aluminum and plastic. Their low-vibration design ensures gentle handling of sensitive pharmaceutical products. Single-mast and double-mast models meet all standard requirements.

About the stacker cranes

Conveyor systems

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

Conveyor Systems

Lifting equipment

Custom-designed load-handling devices for customer pallets and containers. Passive and active systems stabilize the goods during transport, even when liquid containers are only partially filled or pallets are only partially loaded.

About load-handling equipment

Control

From in-house pre-wiring and custom control hardware to 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 specific 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 item assignment for each storage location. Storage and retrieval machines or shuttle systems equipped with appropriate load-handling attachments handle the storage and retrieval of individual items.
