SCHMID & Montrac Revolutionize Solar Module Production with Innovative Transport System
SCHMID, in collaboration with Montrac, has developed a cutting-edge transportation system for solar module production. This innovative solution, called Montrac, has been successfully used in various industries since 1996 and is now set to revolutionize solar energy production.
The Montrac system, initially developed by American researchers, was first implemented in the photovoltaic factory in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, in 2016. It uses shuttle vehicles that glide on aluminum monorails, taking up minimal space and navigating tight curves with ease.
One of the key advantages of Montrac is its modular design. The system can be easily adapted or expanded to accommodate changing process flows, ensuring optimal utilization of resources. Safety sensors on the shuttles detect obstacles and prevent collisions, making it a safe and efficient choice for solar module transportation.
In contrast to traditional conveyor belts, Montrac allows for the removal of individual shuttles without halting the entire system. This feature, combined with automatic rerouting in case of blocked processing stations, ensures smooth and efficient operation.
NewTech, a company in the solar energy sector, has adopted the Montrac transportation system, replacing conventional conveyor belts. This switch is expected to improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs.
The Montrac transportation system, developed by SCHMID and Montrac, is set to open new possibilities in solar module production. With its space-saving design, modular adaptability, and safety features, Montrac is poised to become a game-changer in the solar energy industry.
