Conservas Centauro renews its warehouse with AR Racking's Live Pallet Racking system

Founded in 1908 in Quillota, Conservas Centauro produces canned fruit, vegetables and meats for immediate consumption and for industrial food processes that do not require refrigeration. In order to store the products optimally, AR Racking has installed a dynamic Live pallet racking system for the company’s warehouse in Hijuelas, a municipality in the province of Quillota in the Valparaíso region (Chile), known for the high quality of their fruits and vegetables.

The Live pallet racking system improves stock control and optimizes the use of space. For this warehouse AR Racking has installed a push-back roller system. AR Live Storage is the perfect high-density storage system for homogeneous pallets.

"Usually in Chile more trolley push-back systems than roller ones are used. In the case of Conservas Centauro we have opted for a roller push-back system due to the high rotation of our products and to favour a fast and easy removal of the loading units" explains Juan Antonio Valdebenito, project manager at AR Racking.

The push-back system uses the LIFO system (Last In-First Out) and has a single loading and unloading point: the goods are stored by pushing the previous ones towards the back and they move along for unloading thanks to the inclination.

For Simón Murillo, Head of Engineering and Development at Conservas Centauro, "the system installed by AR Racking has allowed us to make the most of the space available in our warehouse and to reduce the maneuvering times of our operators".
