As a leader in the new retail industry, Boxa (Freshippo) is committed to building an efficient and intelligent logistics distribution system. The core component of this system is the smart conveyor system, which relies heavily on aluminum profiles for its structural integrity and precision. These profiles are critical for ensuring smooth operation and long-term reliability in automated sorting and material handling processes.
High Precision Requirements
The conveyor system must operate seamlessly along complex curved tracks, requiring exceptional flatness, curvature consistency, and joint gap control.
Long-Length Bending
Some sections of the conveyor extend over 6 meters, necessitating single-piece extrusion to avoid welding-induced errors.
Cleanliness and Hygiene Standards
The system must meet food-grade cleanliness standards, demanding surface treatments free from micro-particles and easy to clean.
Dunpin Aluminum, with over 20 years of expertise in industrial aluminum extrusion and precision processing, provided tailored solutions for Boxa's smart logistics system:
High-Precision Rolled Aluminum Profiles
Curvature Radius Range: R150–R3000 mm
Curvature Consistency Error: < 0.3°
Flatness: < 0.5 mm
Joint Gap: < 0.1 mm
Customized Asymmetric Cross-Section Profiles
Made from high-strength 6063-T5 aluminum alloy (tensile strength ≥ 200 MPa)
Cross-section tolerance: ±0.5 mm or tighter
Unit weight up to 44.25 kg/m, supporting heavy-duty applications
Cleanroom-Grade Surface Treatment
Mirror-molded surfaces with Ra ≤ 0.03–0.05 μm to eliminate extrusion marks
Hard anodizing (hardness 400–500 HV) for enhanced wear resistance
Fully protected during production and packaging to meet Class 100 cleanroom standards
The application of Dunpin Aluminum's profiles in Boxa's smart logistics system delivered the following outcomes:
Smooth Operation
Robots and conveyor systems moved seamlessly along curved tracks without vibration or lateral deviation.
Enhanced Efficiency
Positioning accuracy reached ±0.02 mm, significantly reducing sorting time and improving order fulfillment rates.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
The hard anodized surface extended the lifespan of the conveyor components by three times, minimizing downtime and replacement frequency.
This collaboration not only solidified Dunpin Aluminum's position as a trusted partner in the smart logistics industry but also provided a scalable solution for other sectors. Moving forward, we will continue to innovate in customized aluminum profile design and precision manufacturing, driving global advancements in automation and logistics.
