A leading Irish beverage manufacturer has significantly improved speed, efficiency, and workplace safety by installing a Prorunner mk5 vertical conveyor from Qimarox. Implemented by local system integrator Noreside Engineering,<\/a> the solution modernizes vertical transport within the factory and supports growing production volumes with a reliable, hygienic, and space-saving design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting rising demand with smarter vertical transport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Increasing market demand led the manufacturer to expand production capacity, exposing bottlenecks in vertical material flow. Previously, cardboard packaging was transported to upper levels manually and with forklifts, causing delays, inefficiencies, and safety risks. The company required an automated vertical transport solution that could integrate seamlessly with existing conveyor lines while meeting strict food industry standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seamless integration through local expertise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To achieve this, Qimarox partnered with Noreside Engineering, a Kilkenny-based automation specialist with deep experience in food and pharmaceutical environments. Noreside handled system design, local project management, and integration, while Qimarox supplied the Prorunner mk5 as the core vertical transport technology. This collaboration ensured a solution tailored precisely to operational and regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High throughput in a compact footprint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Prorunner mk5 operates as a continuous vertical conveyor, transporting beverage packaging from the production floor to higher processing and palletizing levels. Its compact footprint allows efficient use of floor space, a critical factor in busy production environments. The system delivers high throughput with low energy consumption and minimal maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modular design enables easy integration into existing conveyor layouts and allows future capacity scaling without major structural changes. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, the system complies with Good Manufacturing Practice and EHEDG hygienic design guidelines, making it well suited for food and beverage applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operational improvements across the factory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since commissioning, the manufacturer has recorded clear operational benefits. Vertical transport now runs smoothly without congestion, supporting a consistent production flow. Manual handling has been significantly reduced, improving workplace safety and lowering the risk of accidents. Space utilization has improved by eliminating forklift traffic, while hygienic compliance is maintained throughout the final packaging process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proven solution for high-volume environments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Prorunner mk5 is widely used in high-volume manufacturing worldwide. Its ability to handle packaging of different shapes and sizes, from boxes to crates, combined with continuous high-capacity transport, makes it a versatile solution for demanding intralogistics tasks. Long service life, low maintenance, and energy efficiency further strengthen its value proposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A strong partnership for hygienic automation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Noreside Engineering\u2019s focus on stainless steel construction and hygienic system design aligns closely with Qimarox\u2019s technology. Together, they provide Irish manufacturers with automation solutions that enhance efficiency, safety, and reliability while meeting strict regulatory requirements. The project demonstrates how targeted automation can elevate supply chain performance and prepare production facilities for future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
