What is Flexopodz®?
Flexopodz® was created to help plants with no place to store their precision-manufactured flexographic printing sleeves.
Flexopodz® is high-density mobile storage solution created by mounting shelving onto a carriage-and-rail system. Every flexographic printing sleeve is stored vertically and is secured in place with track-mounted protective holders. Adjustable shelves within each Flexpodz® unit offer complete flexibility to cater for all sleeve sizes. Flexopodz® also accommodates cylinders, plates, magnetic dies, and even ink!
Flexopodz features built in sleeve holders to keep flexographic sleeves stored vertically on a shelf while being held from the top so they don’t tip over during handling. We can customize the layout, functionality and even provide custom graphics. Individual podz can easily be configured to meet anyone’s specifications and are field upgradeable to mechanical-assist or fully motorized systems. An optional high-density configuration increases space or capacity by eliminating wasted aisles.
By mounting shelving or cabinets onto a movable carriage-and-rail system, the empty space needed for a fixed aisle type installation is eliminated. It’s a simple concept that allows flexo print facilities to significantly increase storage capacity, or to store the same amount of items in half the footprint. It’s simple: By storing more sleeves in less space, Flexopodz® saves valuable floor area.
Many storage solutions are poorly designed, badly installed, and disorganized. Flexopodz® mobile shelving expertise and our network of qualified installers are essential when configuring a storage system that not only meets the unique and demanding requirements of your printing plant, but meets the specifications of local building regulations.
