Food and beverage conveyors in production, distribution and warehousing all have one goal in mind: move product gently, efficiently and fast. Depending on what you are moving , Wolter can help you determine the best type of conveyor for your application, such as gravity, bucket, vertical or stainless steel systems.

When food and beverage items need to be moved quickly, delicately, efficiently and are critical for order fulfillment, an automatic palletizer is an ideal solution. It moves goods from the end of the production line onto a pallet in the order the customer needs to unpack the product. It also takes into consideration weight, height and shape of the goods to optimize space and stability in a highly efficient process. As a result, our palletizing solutions conserve space and movement for your operation as well as your customer’s.

Wolter offers a variety of racking solutions to meet all your warehousing needs. Two of the most popular systems for food and beverage applications are pallet flow racks and drive-in pallet racks. Pallet flow racks store pallets on wheeled tracks or conveyor rollers and are loaded from one side and discharged on the other side. This provides first-in, first-out (FIFO) product movement for efficient inventory control that promotes product freshness. Taller than they are wide, pallet flow racks are very high-density solutions that take up very little floor space. Drive-in pallet racking stores pallets deep within your facility in a FIFO approach. Forklifts can drive into the storage lane and put away pallets from the deep side, ensuring fresh product all the time. Drive-in racking also offers a fully integrated safety system to minimize damage to sensitive products.

Regulations regarding traceability, sanitation and protection from dust & dirt drive the food and beverage industry.

We offer vertical lift modules that take all these factors into consideration with temperature control and load control to minimize energy consumption, while providing dust control for product, parts or anything your facility requires. Or, if you need quick access to large, heavy or odd-sized goods, our vertical carousels help you get the job done with a minimal footprint. They enable you to store and dispense rolled and non-rolled products quickly, easily and efficiently.
