Wood fiber insulation board

The new Wireless STS is the next generation of fully automatic STS storage systems for wood-based panels. It consists of a main wagon and one or more pairs of satellite wagons that are wirelessly connected to each other. The satellite wagons can move independently, without physical connection to the main wagon. The main wagon makes crosswise movements for stacks and satellite wagons, whereas the satellite wagons move and transfer stacks lengthwise in the storage area. The new Wireless STS can handle stack weights of up to 75 t and any lengths and width required. The main wagon can have the chain conveyor integrated into it. The storage area can be made with glulam beam supports.

New Wireless STS Benefits

Satellite wagons can operate independently from the main wagon

Satellite wagons transfer data wirelessly and can be powered without cable drums, ensuring high uptime

Higher maximum loads and up to 50% faster lift and transfer speeds

Storage structure made with glulam beams gives good support to stacks and decreases carbon footprint of the construction

Fully automated to avoid manual operations

More flexibility and increased capacity because main wagon is free for other tasks, e.g., fetching the next stack, while satellite wagons move the stack

Unlimited length of the storage for better use of the building area

Operation of more than one satellite wagon pair increases capacity

Reduced height of the structures reduces investment costs
