Print Cylinder Carousel
Hollow Core Carousel
Overview
Vidir’s Print Cylinder Carousel is an automated vertical carousel that effortlessly stores and retrieves print cylinders vertically which increases storage capacity and accessibility. This print cylinder storage system integrates into busy production environments, facilitating printing press changeovers with quick and efficient storage. The unique ‘carrier bar loop hanger’ allows a single operator to safely load and unload print cylinders to and from the carousel.
Increases Available Storage:
The Print Cylinder Carousel increases useable storage capacity by automating storage, creating productive print cylinder storage out of otherwise inefficient overhead space. The product to operator principle ensures that print cylinders will always be easily accessible regardless of whether they are 10’ in the air or 30’ in the air. The print cylinder carousel features built to specification flexibility which will guarantee highly productive storage.
Increase Health and Safety
Automated storage systems eliminate wasteful and potentially harmful steps for stocking and retrieving heavy print cylinder. Vidir carousels accomplish this by automating retrieval and presenting print sleeves at an ergonomically optimum height which reduces unnecessary bending, walking, lifting, and pushing which will reduce work related injuries.

Overview
Vidir’s patented Hollow Core Carousel is the ideal solution for storing, organizing, and accessing printing cylinders. Designed specifically for the needs of the printing and converting industry, this vertical carousel is built to effectively integrate within a busy printing production environment. The Hollow Core Carousel features a cantilevered design that reduces tooling changeover times allowing printing sleeves to slide in and out of the carousel quickly and efficiently.
Increases Available Storage:
The Hollow Core Carousel increases your on-site storage capacity by utilizing overhead space for storing printing cylinders and tooling. Featuring built to specification flexibility, this automated storage system provides extreme fit and space utilization to ensure that the cubic foot is being fully utilized.
Increase Health and Safety
Automated storage systems eliminate wasteful and potentially harmful steps for stocking and retrieving valuable print cylinders. The vertical carousel accomplishes this by implementing the product to operator principle which delivers the printing sleeves to the operator at an ergonomically acceptable height reducing unnecessary bending, walking, lifting, and pushing which will reduce work related injuries as well as protect valuable inventory. Alternative vertical storage such as static cantilevered racking requires the operator to product principle for retrieval which, in vertical storage, is hazardous to the employee, dangerous for the product, and very time consuming.
Increases efficiency
Vidir’s Hollow Core Carousel increases production and organizational efficiencies through the almost negligible product tooling changeovers and the potential for real time inventory tracking. The Hollow Core Carousel features carousel automation allowing the operator to call out product and the ability to implement inventory management software that will provide real time data.
