Noreside Engineering & Quimarox Optimise Production in Ireland
Noreside Engineering is proud to announce the successful implementation of a high-performance vertical transport solution for a leading Irish beverage manufacturer. By integrating the Qimarox Prorunner mk5 into a custom-built stainless steel conveyor system, we have helped our client overcome production bottlenecks, significantly increasing speed, efficiency, and workplace safety. Read on to discover how Noreside Engineering & Quimarox Optimise Production in Ireland.
The Challenge: Manual Handling and Production Delays
Due to a surge in market demand, the manufacturer expanded its production capacity, which placed immense pressure on existing floor-level processes. Previously, moving cardboard beverage packaging to elevated processing levels relied heavily on manual labor and forklifts. This created several critical issues:
- Inefficiencies: Slow throughput led to stagnation in the supply chain.
- Safety Risks: Increased forklift traffic and manual lifting elevated the risk of workplace accidents.
- Space Constraints: Forklift maneuvers required significant floor space that could be better utilized for production.
The Solution: Precision Engineering Meets Proven Technology
As a Kilkenny-based system integrator with over 30 years of experience, Noreside Engineering designed a bespoke stainless steel conveyor system tailored to the stringent hygiene requirements of the food and beverage industry.
At the heart of this system is the Qimarox Prorunner mk5, a continuous vertical conveyor renowned for its reliability. Our team managed the full project lifecycle, ensuring the modular system integrated seamlessly with existing lines while adhering to GMP and EHEDG standards.
Key Benefits of the Prorunner mk5 System
- High Throughput: Continuous vertical movement ensures a constant flow of goods without the “stop-start” delays of traditional lifts.
- Hygienic Design: Constructed entirely from stainless steel, making it ideal for beverage production environments.
- Compact Footprint: The vertical design reclaimed valuable floor space previously lost to ramps or forklift paths.
- Energy Efficient: Low power consumption and minimal maintenance requirements ensure a low total cost of ownership.
Measurable Results
Since the installation, the manufacturer has reported a seamless flow from the packaging floor to final palletisation. By automating vertical transport, the facility has achieved a safer working environment and a more resilient supply chain.
