Product Portfolio
    • Intralogistics

    • KÖHL Maschinenbau is one of the leading suppliers of intralogistics. We see ourselves as a system integrator who offers integral and customized logistics solutions from a single source.
      As an internationally experienced general contractor, we assume overall responsibility for your new logistics center.

      The KÖHL system integration includes :

      • Potential analysis
      • Planning
      • Selection of components
      • Simulation & Visualization
      • Project management
      • System test & emulation
      • Installation & Commissioning
      • Turnkey handover
      • Maintenance & Service
        • Automatic storage and retrieval systems

        • KÖHL offers fully automated solutions adapted to special customer requirements. KÖHL systems are combined with components from leading partners. The result: full warehouse systems with fully automated storage and retrieval of pallets, containers, cardboard boxes or rolls that set a new benchmark in terms of standards.

        • Conveyor- and transport systems

        • KÖHL Maschinenbau has a long tradition in providing innovative conveyor systems. With coordinated components and tailor - made products from our own development, we design customized systems for pallets, cardboard, containers, and much more. To represent future potentials on the customer´s side process analysis, simulation studies and profitability calculations are used.

          Köhl conveyor features:

          • Conveyor technology for pallets, containers & roll boxes
          • Travel cart systems
          • Vertical conveyor systems
          • Flow storage & delivery systems
          • Driverless vehicle systems
        • Empty pallet checking system (LPK)

        • Pallets that are to be supplied to an automated logistics system must be of superior quality in terms of dimensional accuracy and stability. Any deficiencies with regard to these quality markers can cause interruptions in the automated goods flow. That causes costly downtimes, service applications, resultant repairs as well as packed goods onto defective or instable pallets may be damaged.
          Forward-thinking companies are opting for a check of the pool pallets by the fully automated KÖHL empty pallet check-ing system. The system ensures that only faultless and undamaged pallets are supplied to the material flow (palletizing and transport systems, high rack storage, rack operating units, etc.).

            • PLANT CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION SYSTEMS WITH INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS

              KÖHL offers complete solutions for a wide range of tasks in industrial automation, from design through implementation to comprehensive service. With our experience and knowhow, especially in emission-prone branches of industry, we can produce product and process specific applications strategies for a broad range of industries.

              Industrial automation is often characterised by individual demand profiles. Design and engineering competence alone is capable of handling increasingly complex tasks in both technical and financial terms. State of the art simulation programmes enable plant to be designed reliably and faithfully in detail, so all input factors can be reflected and tested before installing any hardware components. The KÖHL group of companies can call on synergy effects, such as between specialist mechanical engineering for the cigarette and tobacco industry, in-house conveyor systems and central control cabinet construction, to meet the most complex demands our customers can throw at us.

              Optimising process and production procedures equals higher productivity, improved quality and more people-friendly production = KÖHL

              KÖHL designs automation systems such as:
              • Fireproof and other press automation systems
              • Steelwork automation for ladling, test probe handling on sub-lances etc.
              • Casting plant systems such a score and casting filter handling
