Sterling, IL – September 22, 2016. Mallard Manufacturing Corporation, a leading manufacturer of gravity flow solutions, is announcing their expanded line of pallet separators. Pallet separators are a critical safety component in many pallet flow rack systems. The job of the pallet separator is to hold rear pallets back from the front “pick-face” pallet, relieving pallet forces (or back pressure) so that the front pallet can be easily extracted. Once the front pallet is removed, the pallet separator is released allowing a controlled forward advance of the rear pallets. Pallet back pressure is approximately 6% of the combined weight of the rear pallets and is calculated by multiplying .06 x (maximum pallet load weight) x # of pallets. 3-deep system, 2,500 lb. load. Back pressure = .06 x 2,500 lbs. x 2 pallets = 300 lbs. 20-deep system, 2,500 lb. load. Back pressure = .06 x 2,500 lbs. x 19 pallets = 2,850 lbs. “Distributors and manufacturers rely on Mallard pallet flow rack solutions for space-saving, efficient order fulfillment” says Kevin Risch, President of Mallard Manufacturing. “Our extensive line of custom pallet separators was developed to help customers improve order picking productivity for a variety of applications while ensuring worker safety and productivity.” Pallet separators differ in terms type of release mechanism (i.e. foot-release, automatic, pneumatic) and are specified for the pallet flow lane depending on pallet weight and pitch.
