Automation component - Import export

Alpha offer a range of folding solutions depending on the needs of our customers including manual, automated and robot folding machines. Our manual folding line consists of 6 manned Amada press brakes capable of folding mild steel, coated steels, stainless steel, aluminium and alloys upto 4100mm in length. Automated folding offers optimised machine cycle times through automated tool selection and simultaneous component load and unload. Parts are programmed offline allowing the machine to run components whilst the next is programmed ready for production. We currently operate an automated TBZ panel folding line as well as completely automated robot folder.

The power to store 50% more for less. Flexi StorMAX allows users to handle two pallets from the same side of each very narrow aisle - which effectively doubles the capacity of each run of racking. Flexi AC StorMAX customers in the UK and Middle East have reported that this high-density system requires significantly fewer truck assets to achieve higher pallet throughput speeds than storage solutions that feature, for example, automated pallet ‘Shuttle’ technology. With the Flexi AC StorMAX system, the user does not have to invest in the kind of costly special pallet racks and automated components associated with ‘Shuttle’ pallet storage systems. Early adopters of Flexi AC StorMAX technology have experienced impressive results. For example, one user – a well-known Blue Chip food manufacturer – is storing 40,000 pallets in a Flexi AC StorMAX system that is served by just five Flexi trucks.
