At stand 399, Qimarox will demonstrate the Prorunner mk5, the next generation in vertical sorting. The Prorunner mk5 will headline Qimarox’ showcase of forward thinking palletisers and vertical transport systems.

This product lift works according to the time-honoured paternoster principle, which results in a versatile vertical transport system with a capacity of 2000 products per hour. Because a single elevator system can be used for both upward and downward product flows, the Prorunner mk5 is ideal for vertical sorting. 

Unlike other continuous product elevators, the Prorunner mk5 can feed products in and out in three directions, without the need for additional equipment. It works with equal efficiency for boxes, crates, trays or bags. It transports products to any desired level and does so without any critical product transitions. All products are transported horizontally at all times, so that product deformations are excluded.
