Handling Systems

KVM produces complete handling systems, which consist of transport and buffer arrangement to and from curing areas. Furthermore KVM offers different curing solutions, i.e. Rack systems, Cassettes, Stillage etc. Effective product management as well as integrated logistics between dry and wet side are crucial for achieving high unit cost benefits.
The flexible constructions can be fitted into both new and existing buildings. They can be operated both manually and automatically and can handle both wet and dry sides.
Range
Forklift Handling System (TSC)

The TSC system is based on the use of a forklift to carry pallets with products to and from the curing area. It is KVM’s simplest handling system, ideal for smaller productions.
The system is used by producers wanting a basic, economical and flexible handling system that can fit into constricted sites. This very often makes it possible to use an existing building. The system is often used as an economical way to get started and can later be extended to a fully automatic handling system like Finger Car and racks.
KFA Handling System

The KFA handling system is developed for rational and simple operation. The plant is characterized by safe operation and low maintenance costs. It is designed to give a labour-saving one-man operation.
The KFA handling system is based on a self-propelling portal handling traverse, equipped with a shear controlled clamp, ensuring a precise and gentle handling of the products. Exact positioning of the products is obtained by using a laser distance sensor combined with speed controlled movement.
The entire plant can be viewed from the control platform with easy access to all parts.
The KFA system has among others benefits:
- Full Automatic System
- No cost for rack system
- Labour savings
- Simple and user-friendly system
- Speed controlled movement
Finger Car System (FC)

The FC handling system is the most versatile solution for the handling process offered by KVM. The system is based on a fully automatic system that gives a very gentle handling of the products.
The FC system is based on a conventional finger car which enters the curing chambers, deposits the pallets with fresh products on the shelves and removes them after curing. This system has several advantages: Any pallet type can be used, taller products can be stored by using alternate shelves (and automatically remove unwanted pallets from the system), possible for lifting heavier products by using displaceable forks.
The system can be delivered with covered or insulated racks with roller doors, enabling you to obtain the optimum curing environment for the products. This gives more strength, less consumption of cement and reduced curing time.
Finger Car system includes:
- Time indication on produced products
- Storing of high/low and heavy products
- Full Automatic system
- Optimal capacity
- Optimal handling and logistics between wet and dry side
- Labour savings
- Speed controlled movement
