In the manufacturing and chemical business, safety is always a top priority. Choosing the right rack for chemicals to ensure safe storage and convenient loading and unloading is a matter of concern for many companies. Understanding this concern, Eurorack offers some storage solutions for your chemicals.

Chemical racks are heavy-duty pallet racks, ensuring strength when carrying heavy loads

Selective Racking

For hazardous chemicals stored in various types of drums, bags with different characteristics requiring protection from external impacts, Selective Racking is the right choice. Its flexibility allows direct access to the pallet containing the needed chemical. This helps the rack avoid impacting the surrounding items, reducing the risk of chemicals falling off the rack.

Another advantage of Selective Racking is its ability to store various types of chemicals. Businesses can store multiple chemical substances on the same rack, rather than investing in separate racks. Additionally, Selective Racking has a high load capacity (500 - 6000 kg per level), allowing businesses to store large quantities of chemicals.

Drive-In Racking

When a company needs to store a large quantity of uniform chemicals, Drive-In Racking is the appropriate solution. This type of rack increases storage density by reducing the space for forklifts. Drive-In Racking optimizes existing warehouse space, storing more but with less access to the chemicals needed, as it follows the Last In, First Out (LIFO) principle.

Stored chemicals must also be protected and shielded from external impacts. Furthermore, chemical substances need to be carefully packaged to prevent leakage or hazards if they fall off the rack.

Pallet Stacking

Using pallets to store goods is an excellent solution for storing uniform chemicals. They help businesses save costs by eliminating the need for investing in racks for chemicals. In cases where relocation is necessary, stacked pallets provide flexibility, unlike fixed storage rack systems.

Pallets are arranged neatly and can be stacked manually. The storage of chemicals does not require strict preservation procedures. Using pallets depends on the type of goods, uniform in size and easy to stack.

Ligh-duty Racks

Similar to Selective racks, light-duty racks also provide direct access to the chemicals needed, minimizing the possibility of collisions and impact on surrounding chemicals. We can also store various types of chemicals on the rack. Since light-duty racks are designed with sheet metal trays, you can place chemicals directly on the rack without using pallets.

Using light-duty racks for chemicals will save on investment costs compared to Selective racks, but their load capacity will be lower (300 - 800 kg per level). This type of rack is suitable for businesses that do not need to store many chemicals or have small-volume chemical warehouses that can be manually loaded and unloaded.

Considerations When Using Chemical Racking

  • Chemicals are hazardous materials, so before storing them, they need to be safely packaged inside drums or bags.
  • The chemical storage area should be well-lit, properly ventilated, have wide aisles, and be far away from heat sources.
  • Ensure that the chemical racks are securely anchored to the floor to prevent imbalance.
  • Prioritize the use of the First In, First Out (FIFO) system to avoid waste and degradation of old solutions while still not being exported.
  • Label chemical storage cabinets by type or hazard to have an effective management plan.
  • Random contact between compatible chemicals can lead to explosions or dangerous chemical reactions, so ensure physical separation.

• Note: Contact with chemical solutions can cause corrosion and deterioration of the chemical rack frames, even with good electrostatic painting. Regularly schedule checks for expired or damaged chemicals and the integrity of the chemical storage rack system to avoid unnecessary risks. In addition, you need to plan for emergency response to spill or leakage of chemicals. A smart chemical rack determines the operational efficiency of the storage warehouse and is an effective way to strengthen the competitive capacity of the business.

Hopefully, the above information will help you find the optimal storage solution for your business. Depending on the chemicals needing to be stored, you may need specialized chemical storage rack designs. Contact Eurorack for advice from experts and make the right choice.
