PrimeStorage R2, T-type

The BCM PrimeStorage R2, T-type is a manual storage system designed for rotary dies. Trusted throughout the corrugated industry, it delivers excellent space utilization and long‑term performance in facilities 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. It is ideal for facilities that need more capacity than a single‑rack system can offer. The crane rotates 360 degrees, allowing tool delivery in any direction and eliminating the need for dedicated garages. When not in use, operators can park the crane in an elevated position to maintain free passage in front of the storage.

The system can store both single and double rotary dies, depending on customer needs. For smaller dies, BCM recommends using the vertical hanging solution: BCM PrimeRack R1‑2, MV‑type.

Advanced software and safety features

Although the PrimeStorage R2 does not include automated software like BCM SmartStorage or AutoStorage solutions, it still incorporates several intelligent design elements that enhance safety and ease of use.

Every BCM PrimeStorage includes:

• Camera-assisted operation for accurate lifting and lowering
• Easy to use – easy to teach
• Highly versatile functionality
• Numbered signage for efficient tool organization and identification
• Safety-first design: operators must work alone in the aisle during crane operation

For long‑lasting performance, the main storage structure uses galvanized steel. The crane and its rails feature aluminum, galvanized steel, and powder‑coated steel to ensure durability and mechanical precision.

Operator-guided efficiency

The operator manually guides the crane. It moves along the overhead rails, while the motor‑assisted vertical sleigh enables smooth and efficient lifting and lowering. This configuration allows operators to manage tools safely—even in tall storage systems.

A camera monitor provides visual guidance, helping operators position the gripper accurately when picking up or placing rotary dies. This greatly reduces the risk of collisions or accidental damage.

Efficient tool handling with trolleys

BCM storage trolleys hold three double‑dies or four single‑dies as standard. When required, BCM can customize trolleys to match specific storage or production needs. Each trolley is mounted on wheels for smooth, easy maneuvering by a single operator.

During operation, the operator brings 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 high‑performance manual storage solution

For manufacturers looking to improve organization, safety, and handling of rotary dies and printing plates—without investing in full automation—the BCM PrimeStorage R2, T-type offers a proven, high-performance solution.
