The organization and management of space are essential elements in the food industry in order to ensure safety and optimize operations. Shelving in this sector plays a fundamental role for storage and organization ensuring efficiency, convenience and hygiene standards.

IM 92 system for shelving for the food sector

Italmodular has patented the IM|92 system of modular shelving and trolleys in order to optimize working and storage spaces in the best way possible, with effective, innovative solutions that respect hygiene standards.

This system is characterized by:

• stainless steel: the choice of this material comes from its technical qualities and total recyclability, allowing a low environmental impact. Stainless steel is a material that guarantees inalterability over time, despite the possibility of corrosion, and a high standard of hygiene;
• stability and strength: IM|92 systems do not require special fixings, but can withstand high loads with minimum flexure;
• fast assembly: IM|92 has been patented with an interlocking system that allows a quick and easy assembly without needing special equipment;
• elegant design: the chosen design is simple and elegant, providing great versatility: the system can indeed be applicated in different areas, combining different measures to save space.

The models of shelving for the food sector

In this article we propose the four models of shelving suitable for the food industry. We also provide you with the information you need to choose the system that best suits your needs.

Overhead Sliding Shelving

The first shelving we offer is the overhead sliding shelving. This shelving for the food sector can increase the storage surface up to the 90%, thanks to its smooth and quiet sliding system.
In addition to being versatile, this model is distinguished by its stability and high load capacity: each sliding module has a load capacity of about 400 kg.

Hygiene is a fundamental element for shelving for the food industry. This system reflects high standards due to its smooth and rounded surfaces that prevent the formation of dirt and therefore bacteria. So we can surely say that this model is an ideal solution for optimizing environments, even those with limited space. 

Floor Sliding Shelving

The floor sliding shelving, thanks to an innovative fluid system, is ideal for the optimization of spaces. Characterized by an ergonomic design, this shelving allows easy access to food and a quick identification of the desired products.

The shape of the radial guide ensures an easy cleaning of the system and, at the same time, stability and ease of assembly. A peculiarity of this shelving is the possibility of creating the system by arranging the shelves in an adjustable height every 15 cm, and ensuring a maximum load of 400 kg.

GN Modular Shelving

With the  GN modular shelving you can have a customizable system to rationalize the available space with. Adaptable and combinable, this shelving is made of AISI 304 stainless steel.

The successful feature of this shelving is adaptability: different standard sizes, combinations and adjustable shelves will give you the opportunity to design the right project for your needs.

Italmodular also releases to its resellers the software “Shelving Optimization“, which allows costumers to visualize in 3D the most suitable solution for their available space and the relative estimate.

Compact Modular Shelving

Compact modular shelving is the perfect solution for environments where space is limited. Thanks to their compact and versatile design, they give you the chance to organize and store food efficiently, minimizing the waste of space.

Made of anodized aluminum, this shelving uses easy- to- assemble, interlocking grids. The side shape is rounded, facilitating the cleaning process of the shelving; in addition, the grids can be washed in the dishwasher for a deeper washing.

Trolleys: a solution for the food sector

Trolleys can be a convenient solution for material organization, especially in the food industry. The main areas of application for trolleys are in fact in the food sector, but also in industrial refrigeration, hotel, and catering.

The modular trolley has been designed for the transport of products, mainly food, from the unloading area to the warehouse. Made of anodized aluminum, this trolley is suitable for refrigerated environments, ensuring a maximum load of 180 kg. Its pivoting wheels equipped with a stop ensure a stable transport and make it easy to handle even with full load. The modular trolley can be an ideal option for storing frequently used materials, so that they can always be at hand.

Italmodular: the ideal organization for your spaces

Italmodular has been offering solutions for the organization and optimization of work environments for more than 50 years, a long experience that’s the result of passion, quality and technology.

Efficiency, innovation and experience are the key factors that drive Italmodular in the realization of innovative systems at an international level, supported by continuous investments in human resources, technology and quality of customer service.

Italmodular’s corporate mission is to make the storage and handling of materials that require high standards of hygiene, such as meat, food or drugs, efficient and safe.

The eco-sustainable strategy of Italmodular

The first step in activating an eco-sustainable strategy was the choice of aluminum as the material for the systems. Aluminum is extracted from a common mineral, bauxite, and is an entirely recyclable material. Aluminum has a low environmental impact and a very high recovery value, which avoids the extraction of bauxite and saves energy for its production.

Polyethylene is another recyclable material chosen by Italmodular for the realization of plastic products. All materials used for the packaging of the goods are recyclable.

These are the first steps that Italmodular has taken to develop a sustainable strategy.

Shelving and more

Italmodular has designed different systems for the organization of the working environment that don’t concern only the food industry, such as the IM|92 system of shelving and trolleys. Shelving models are also ideal for the pharmaceutical industry, or for optimising department stores.

Another patented system is the IM|09 system. These are overhead rails, framework and hooks for transporting and storing meat of any size with stability, flexibility and speed.

Finally, if you need counter protection in your supermarket, Italmodular has designed the IM|97 system in AISI 304 stainless steel.
