Design key parameters and calculation logic of fluent shelves Fluent shelf design needs to determine key parameters around "cargo size, weight, and sliding requirements" to ensure effective use. Firstly, determine the number of fluent strips based on the width of the goods. For example, for a 30cm wide cardboard box, 2 fluent strips (spaced 20cm apart) need to be set up to ensure stable support of the goods; Secondly, based on the weight of the goods, calculate the load-bearing capacity of the fluent strip. The load-bearing capacity of a single fluent strip should be ≥ 1.2 times the weight of the goods (for example, if the weight of the goods is 10kg, the load-bearing capacity of a single fluent strip should be ≥ 12kg). At the same time, determine the spacing between the rollers (the larger the weight, the smaller the spacing, usually 5-10cm); Furthermore, the number and height of shelves are determined based on the height of the goods and the height of manual operation. The height of the picking end is usually set at 70-90cm (ergonomic), and the high-end layer is 10-15cm higher than the low-end layer (ensuring a tilt angle of 3-5 °). The calculation logic needs to verify whether the tilt angle is reasonable: using the formula "tilt height=shelf length x tan (tilt angle)" to calculate, for example, for a 2m long shelf with a tilt angle of 5 °, the high end needs to be 17.4cm higher than the low end to ensure that the goods can slide smoothly and not exceed the speed limit.
