Paper Rolls Stock Warehouse Design and Management

Paper Rolls Stock Warehouse Design and Management for cardboard and box manufacturer

For carton factories of high-speed corrugated boxes, a packaging area of 4,000 square meters is a "universal" figure, which can ensure a certain degree of flexibility.

To make this figure more precise, complete information about the operation must be considered.

Even if the production is like this, it is still necessary to carefully consider possible changes in the future, such as: increase in the grade of the original paper roll, especially the width of the paper roll, 

the pre-printed paper roll, the size of the base paper, and the problem of transportation machinery, because the cost caused by ignoring these factors will exceed the estimation.

If the road transportation distance between the raw paper supplier and the carton factory is very close, the storage capacity required for the raw paper can be appropriately reduced.

Currently paper rolls are usually stacked vertically, because this stacking method provides greater flexibility and is easy to access.

But this method needs to be equipped with a car to move the paper roll, and the floor of the raw paper storage area should be suitable for the car to move and dispatch safely.

Rolls must be spaced far enough apart to prevent truck clamps from inadvertently affecting adjacent rolls.

Similarly, the stacking should be arranged in a ∨ or ∧ shape and at a certain angle to the wall, so as to prevent the "domino" effect caused by the collapse of a roll of paper rolls and the adjacent rolls.

In the event of a fire in the raw paper roll storage area, where vertically stacked rolls are likely to be engulfed in flames, fire protection installations that meet local regulations must be installed and should be installed throughout the production area and in the finished product distribution area.

The scale and layout of the raw paper roll storage area should pay attention to the following points:

• Maximum number of rolls stored per week;

• Quantity of base paper and pre-printed rolls of special material and width;

• diameter and width of the paper roll;

•The height of the paper roll (the width of the paper roll, the height of the roof, the height that the clamp of the forklift can reach);

• Routes of movement and turning of forklifts equipped with different types of grippers;

• The distance between stacks of paper rolls and the direction of stacking;

• Space required for unloading, inspection and registration of paper rolls; space required to corrugated board production line.

•Space required for roll skin stripping, roll preparation and roll delivery to the corrugating line.

Forklifts equipped with grippers feed the rolls to the infeed conveyor system in the roll storage area and scan the bar code markings on the rolls, which indicate the location of the roll's destination station to the conveyor system.

In addition, it should also provide a link to the waste paper warehouse.

A smooth road is provided to facilitate the collection of waste paper and other waste products.

There is also the need to leave a certain amount of space in the area for receiving returned products, inspection, rework or waste disposal.
