Solutions for Production & Manufacturing

ERGONOMIC WORKSTATIONS

What appears from the outside to be an ordinary warehouse resembles an elegantly designed exhibition hall on the inside. Each natural-stone slab weighs up to 500 kg and is transported by two white overhead cranes equipped with customized black hoist units.

PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING

A medical technology customer sought an efficient solution for manufacturing specialized plastic containers and wanted to redesign their production chain for optimal space utilization and productivity in a new building. To maximize the available space, the montrac® transport system was installed as a customized ceiling-mounted solution—unlocking additional production floor area and significantly improving process flow.

OVERSIZED PAPER ROLLS

Handling oversized paper rolls posed significant challenges for one of our customers. The previous methods were time-consuming and increased both the risk of injury and potential material damage. A specially engineered C-hook was implemented as the ideal solution.

MULTIPLE PACKAGING FORMATS

Regardless of the products being manufactured, one thing is certain: packaging always marks the end of the production line. This is where Dorner’s 3200 Series comes in — a conveyor system designed specifically for (medium-) heavy units. For lighter items, the 2700 and 2200 Series offer the perfect fit.

PAPER ROLLS

Paper roll production requires extremely flexible conveying systems due to the wide variety of product types and packaging sizes. These systems must reliably transport short rolls such as toilet paper, as well as larger formats used for paper towels and kitchen rolls. Dorner’s FlexMove conveyors can be fully tailored to the production environment and workflow.

NATURAL STONE

What appears from the outside to be an ordinary warehouse resembles an elegantly designed exhibition hall on the inside. Each natural-stone slab weighs up to 500 kg and is transported by two white overhead cranes equipped with customized black hoist units.
