Tailor-made buffer solutions for your production
Cycle time deviations, material congestion, or process interruptions? Our buffer solutions stabilize your production line, compensate for fluctuations, and ensure continuous material flow – efficient, space-saving, and precisely tailored to your requirements.
Whether intermediate buffer, storage table, or FIFO-regulated buffer system: we develop solutions that decouple your processes, prevent downtime, and increase your overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Even for sensitive products or special environmental conditions, we guarantee reliable and adaptable systems.
Our storage solutions at a glance
Buffer table/storage table
When production lines come to a standstill or downstream processes are not running smoothly, the buffer table provides the necessary decoupling. It serves as a short-term buffer or interim storage facility (e.g., for empty containers or workpiece carriers) and helps efficiently bridge downtimes.
Your advantages:
-
Reliable process decoupling in the event of uneven production flow
-
Ideal for robust, round products
-
Can be used flexibly as a buffer or storage unit
Supports chaotic storage principle for easy implementation
Spiral storage
For thermally induced retention times such as drying, fermentation, or cooling, the spiral storage system offers a space-saving solution for the temporary storage of large product quantities. The vertical design optimally utilizes available space while maintaining consistent process reliability.
Your advantages:
-
High capacity on a small footprint
-
Suitable for FIFO or FILO controlled processes
-
Congestion-free transport of products
Dynamic buffer
When process rhythms fluctuate and production speed varies, the dynamic buffer ensures stability. It compensates for differences between process stages and maintains a consistent throughput – ideal for lines with variable production cycles or sensitive operations.
Your benefits:
-
Maintains stable material flow even during fluctuation
-
Responds flexibly to short-term interruptions
-
Increases utilization and process stability
Buffer and storage towers
When high capacity is needed in a limited space: buffer and storage towers are especially well-suited for medium to heavy unit loads and enable efficient intermediate storage within the production line. Their vertical design saves valuable floor space without compromising gentle product handling.
Your benefits:
-
Designed for medium to heavy product weights
-
Single-item removal possible for targeted downstream processing
-
Optional enclosure and extraction system (e.g. for gas release during drying)
Sorting buffer
For products that must remain separated: The sorting buffer enables type-specific, contact-free intermediate storage of a wide variety of parts, making it ideal for sensitive surfaces or parallel production flows. With individually controllable conveyor lines, the system operates independently of the production cycle and ensures particularly gentle handling.
Your benefits:
-
Type-specific separation without physical contact
-
Contact-free transport for sensitive products
-
Maximum flexibility through independently controlled lanes
Paternoster storage system
When limited space meets a wide variety of product types: The paternoster storage system offers a compact lift-based solution with multiple lanes, ideal for decoupling process steps independently of cycle times. Different products can be stored and retrieved in a sorted manner – without interrupting the line flow.
Your benefits:
-
High throughput with a minimal footprint
-
Type-specific storage of different product types or quality classes
-
Efficient use in confined spaces and parallel process flows
Rack storage system
When products require dwell time during the process – such as for cooling, drying, or curing – the rack storage system enables structured, automatable intermediate buffering. Loading and unloading can be handled by robots, conveyor systems, or other equipment as needed.
Your benefits:
-
Compatible with automated solutions
-
Expandable with extraction systems and integrated safety features
-
Modular design for precise, application-specific implementation
custom storage system
Standard not enough? Our custom storage systems are precisely tailored to your process requirements – whether for sensitive products, large formats, or special workflows in assembly and packaging. They are ideal for decoupling critical process steps and for material provisioning in sequenced operations.
Your benefits:
-
Intermediate buffering during process-related dwell times such as cooling, drying, or curing
-
Designed for large, heavy, or delicate units
-
Seamless integration into complex line structures
Proven buffer solutions in use
Our storage solutions are already in use across a wide range of industrial applications – wherever processes need to be stabilized, cycle deviations balanced, or sensitive products buffered efficiently.
-
In the food industry, for gentle intermediate buffering of round cheese wheels while maintaining the cold chain
-
In automotive supply, for sequenced material provisioning in the event of cycle time deviations
Consulting that connects processes
Every production line is different. That’s why, for over 25 years, JR Systemtechnik has not offered off-the-shelf solutions, but instead develops buffer and storage systems precisely tailored to your processes.
We think in terms of processes, not products – combining technical expertise with a clear focus on what really matters. Whether as a standalone solution or seamlessly integrated into existing conveyor technology, we analyze your requirements, provide consulting at eye level, and find the best solution for your production line.
