PrimeStorage FRP2, T-type

The BCM PrimeStorage FRP2, T-type is a manual storage system designed for flatbed dies, rotary dies and printing plates ( stereos / Clichés). Recognized as one of the most trusted manual storage solutions in the corrugated industry, it maximizes space efficiency while delivering long‑term performance in areas with limited floor space. Its robust construction, user‑friendly operation, and smart design make it a highly efficient and cost‑effective alternative to fully automated storage systems.

Optimized space and smart operation

This double-rack layout features an overhead‑mounted, manually operated crane—ideal for facilities that need more capacity than a single‑rack setup can offer. The crane supports full 360‑degree rotation, allowing tool delivery in any direction and eliminating the need for dedicated garages. When not in use, operators can “park” the crane above the working area to maintain free passage in front of the storage.

Printing plates stay on the lowest storage level and are handled manually. Because of this tiered design, operators can keep tools organized while maintaining fast access during changeovers.

Advanced software and safety features

Although the PrimeStorage FRP2 is manually operated and does not include the automated software found in BCM SmartStorage or AutoStorage solutions, it still incorporates smart design elements that enhance safety and efficiency.

Every BCM PrimeStorage includes:

• Camera-assisted operation for accurate lifting and lowering
• Easy to use – easy to teach
• Highly versatile operation for different tool types
• Numbered signage for clear organization and quick identification
• Safety-first workflow where operators must work alone in the aisle during crane use

For long‑lasting durability, the main storage structure is built from galvanized steel. Meanwhile, the crane and its rails combine aluminum, galvanized steel, and powder‑coated steel to deliver mechanical precision and extended service life.

Operator-guided efficiency

The crane is fully guided by the operator. It moves manually along the overhead rails, while the vertical sleigh movement is motor‑assisted to support efficient lifting and lowering. As a result, operators can handle tools smoothly and safely—even in tall storage setups.

A camera monitor provides real‑time visibility, helping the operator position the gripper accurately when picking up or placing rotary dies. This significantly reduces the risk of collisions or damage.

Efficient tool handling with trolleys

BCM storage trolleys accommodate three cassettes, three double‑dies, four single‑dies, or multiple ASP8 profiles as standard. When needed, BCM can customize trolleys to hold flatbed dies, printing plates, rotary dies, or mixed configurations. Each trolley is mounted on wheels and designed for effortless maneuvering by a single operator.

Every cassette contains a complete die set for production—cutting die, stripping die, guillotine board, and printing drawing.

During operation, the operator rolls the trolley directly into the storage aisle and positions it within arm’s reach. This approach reduces walking distance, minimizes physical strain, and significantly improves loading and unloading efficiency.

 A proven choice for safe, organized manual storage

For manufacturers looking to improve organization, safety, and handling of dies and printing plates—without investing in full automation—the BCM PrimeStorage FRP2, T-type delivers a proven, high‑performance solution.
