Agristo Netherlands and Egemin Automation have closed a multimillion contract for a major automatic warehouse.

The order comprises the construction and automation of an automatic deep freeze silo warehouse for the storage op deep-frozen fries at -25 °C.

Reaching a staggering height of 40 meter the new warehouse to be built in Tilburg will be the highest automatic warehouse in The Netherlands and the Benelux.

With a total width of 53 m and an aisle length of 78 m the
deepfreeze warehouse will provide space for approximately 25,600 euro pallets.

Egemin will build the deepfreeze warehouse in a silo construction. This means all pallet racking is mounted
first.

In a next stage the skyscraper stacker cranes -eight in total- will be installed in between the racks.
Next, all roof and wall plating is fixed to the racking.

Silo warehouses have numerous benefits compared to
traditional warehouses:
» Very compact construction leading to important space savings
» Shorter assembly times leading to faster project throughput
» A lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) thanks to more efficient energy management, lighting, space saving
