Optimum solutions for RETAIL industry

Efficient supply chain of fresh products is no longer a challenge!

Distribution centres of discount chains and supermarket chains have to cope with problems resulting from diversity of goods, shapes and sizes of packaging, and seasonal nature of their activities The only constants here are volatility and growing competition. To face it, the chains have to carry out integrated marketing and sales activities and continuously win clients with attractive prices and high quality of products, including fresh and frozen ones. The supply chain plays an important role in the implementation of the strategy and has to comply with the basis parameters, just-in-time, a 100% reliable product in the right place, as well as proper quality of the product delivered to the shelf – especially when it is a fresh or frozen product.

Transport rollers

Europa Systems is a manufacturer of rollers for conveying equipment and systems such as:

 

  • PVC rollers – for transporting lightweight goods (e.g. crates, containers).
  • Gravity rollers for light loads – for the transport of goods with relatively low weight. Recommended for gravity conveyors due to the lightweight bearings.
  • Gravity rollers for medium loads – these are rollers made of precision steel tube for use in various types of conveyor. Thanks to the use of precision ball bearings, the rollers are designed to carry heavier loads.
  • Gravity rollers for heavy loads – a group of rollers designed to transport heavy loads. These rollers have bearings pressed directly into the pipe or placed in special sockets welded directly into the pipe.
  • Double sprocket rollers – designed for driven conveyors.
  • RTS specialised rollers – this is a group of rollers produced according to individual customer needs. Special rollers are used to transport pallets and in roller arches and are used for power transmission.
