Optimizer Training 2

Why Optimizer ?
OPTIMIZER as the name suggests means optimum use of space, value & money. Everybody
understands the value of space in today’s world. From single storey building to double & then the
concept of tripple storey and now mutli-apartments shows what the value of space is all about.
Economy, sensex, commodity prices, oil and steel prices goes up and down but real estate prices
always heads north. Hence everybody understand the value of space. Every individual, architects,
corporate, both govt. & Pvt., SME’s are looking for maximizing space utilization. The more effectively
you use the given area, the more cost of product per unit will go down, means higher productivity.
POSITIONING OF OPTIMIZER: Compact , “ Value – For – Money ” , Centralized

Heavy Duty Storage Systems for Documents , Files , Stationery , etc.
TARGET SEGMENT : PSUs, Govt Depts , Large & small Corporates , Banks ,Insurances, NBFC’s,
FIIs, Law departments, Education sectors record rooms and archival stoarge etc.
Our internal study shows that it saves more than 70% space or in another way, in the same space you
can store 70% more files, documents (shown in optimizer CD)

Brief Description
The “ OPTIMIZER” Range of Storage Systems are ideally suited for “Heavy
Duty” as well as Normal usage Storage needs for application
in the offices and are space saving, compact & easy to handle for storage &
retrieval of all kinds of files , documents , stationery, etc.

What is Optimizer
Optimizer is a space saving system and is a arrangement of bodies, back-to-back &
side-by-side and fixed on the understructure in such a way that allows the system
to move on pre-fixed channels. Channels are grouted on the floor.
How it works
Optimizer bodies arranged/fixed side-by-side, back-to-back which rests on
understructure & which moves on channels with the help of bearing and other
fittings attached to understructure.
One can move the system on the rails , lock & unlock at particular position for user
safety, closing & locking the whole system with the help of locking stiffner.

There are two models of KD optimizer
SNo Description Dimensions (mm)
1 Optimizer 15 1980 H x 381 D x 915 W
2 Optimizer 18 1980 H x 457 D x 915 W
( Both Models are w/o Doors )
Using these two models of KD , one can make different configurations to
suit the different requirements.

Types of Optimizer
There are two types of optimizer :
1. Push Pull Type (Manual operation): Provision of “C” type handle given on one of
the side panel of the body. Only can be given in P1 and P2.

Push pull Type
•Push pull Optimizers – as the name suggests have to be operated

manually. Push pull Optimizers comes in two models – P1 and P2
•This is designed and is kept limited to P2 only because as we increase the

no. of bodies, the weight of the system increases and as the weight
increases it is difficult to operate manually.
•This difficulty gives us an idea to come out with Drive Type concept….

Drive Type
2. Drive Type : Drive wheel (Image below) made up of Polyurethene is
provided which helps user to move the bodies easily on the channels without
much effort. In standard configuration, we can give from D2 to D5.

Drive Type
1. Drive type optimizer is easy to operate and doesn’t require much effort as the
system moves with the help of chains which is fitted within drive wheel.
2. There is lot of accessories attached to Drive wheel which is there to move the
optimizer in totality like Drive wheel, shaft & its settings, chains and bearings
etc. These all accessories are covered in DRIVE UNIT COVER which is over &
above the body, which is nearly half the height of body.

Type of Bodies
• SINGLE STATIC bodies are single and fixed (non-movable) and act like a wall at one
end of the system.
• SINGLE LAST bodies are single and movable. They are placed at the other end of the
system and attached with locking stiffner which locks the system. The basic difference
is it is movable and has drive unit cover
• TWIN MOBILE bodies are arranged back-to-back with common side panel and common
back panel. It is called twin mobile because they are double sided movable bodies.

By now you have understood :
1. What is optimizer and its importance ?

2. models of optimizer ?
3. What is Push pull and Drive type ?
4. What is single static, single last and twin mobile.
Now the Question is what is P1, P2, D2…D5 ??

Lets understand in the next slides.

P1 – Because , “P” stands for Push pull type and “1” because of existence of only
one body (main body).

Before going to next slide ,
we need to understand what’s mean by “2” and “add-on”
1. Adding one body to the existing main body side-by-side is called
add-on unit.
2. When one add-on unit is added, it is called P2 (2 because one main
body + one add-on) considering push pull type. It will be called D2
when Drive type configuration.
3. There is common side panel sharing between main and add-on unit.

P2 – Because , “P” for Push pull type and “2” because of existence of one main body
+ one add-on.

As seen from the diagrams shown before , each Bay comprises of the Main Unit ,
Undercarriage , Drive Units ( Except on Single Static Body) , Drive Unit Covers,
Label Holders, Fittings,etc.
Channels are to be considered separately as per the layout configuration.
BAY represents no. of bodies arranged side-by-side :
• D2 means 2 bay
• D3 means 3 bay
• D4 means 4 bay
• D5 means 5 bay

FFFor e.g.
(1) If P1 type of configuration is required in Optimizer 15 (1980 mm H x 381 mm D x 915
mm W), then, the combination would be as under.

There are other important things to know about an optimizer :
1. System weight ( Body, understructure and fittings weight)
2. Dead weight
3. Loading levels
4. UDL (Uniformly distributed load)
5. How to calculate UDL
6. What is Twin body concept and how it works

SYSTEM WEIGHT
Lets move on to the DEAD weights of the system …One by One.
But what is Dead weight ?

It’s a weight of the system without any external weight.
This will help you in understanding the total weight of the system and its
impact on the floor in terms of load bearing capacity of the floor. . Please Note
that Load bearing capacity, a structural Engineer will suggest after inspecting
the Building.

Terms Used
n Opt 15 /Opt 18 : Denoting the depth option.
n Opt 15 means Optimizer with 381 Depth & Opt 18 means optimizer qith
457 Depth.

Body and Understructure weight



Other components
n Hinge Doors : 18 Kg.
n Locking Stiffner : 7 Kg.
n Channel pair : 15 Kg per 3 feet.
n Set of 3 channels : 23 Kg per 3 feet.
n Set of 4 channels : 30 Kg per 3 feet.

How to calculate the system weight
Lets take example of calculating the system weight of D2 configuration ( SD2+TD2+SL2)

of 381 depth
Calculation of System weight considering D2 model of 1981 H x 381D x 915W
Main body Addon

Items weight weight Total weight (In Kg)
Body SD2 body 43 39 82

TD2 body 72 64
SL2 body 43 39
Understructure + Fittings
SD2 21
SL2 22
TD2 56
Locking stiffner 7
Channels pair for 9 feet (15 kg for 3 feet) x 3 45
Total dead weight of D2 configuration 233

UDL – Uniformly Distributed Load
It means uniformly distributed load allowed per shelf.
For example --if UDL is 40 Kg, allowed distributed load per shelf is 40 kg.
Now the Question is “How to Calculate the UDL per shelf”.
Lets Understand ----à
The UDL capacity is totally dependent upon the load carrying capacity of Understructure
which is pre-determined and is mentioned in below chart.

External Load carrying capacity per understructure
To calculate UDL per shelf , we will take an example of D2

STEPS TO CALCULATE
STEPS
Load carrying capacity of D2 1200 Kg
For Calculating UDL, We have to consider Twin Mobile body module

Now, In TD2, No. of bodies shall be 4
In std. Offering, no. of shelf is 4 and hence no. of loading level will be 5
Now, Total no. of shelfs in TD2 (5 x 4) 20
Divide Load carrying capacity by total no. of shelf in TD2 (1200 / 20) 60 KG
hence UDL per shelf in D2 is 60 Kg

LETS TRY AND FIND OUT
Lets Try
Load carrying capacity of D3 1200 Kg
For Calculating UDL, We have to consider Twin Mobile body module

Now, In TD3, No. of bodies shall be
In std. Offering, no. of shelf is 4 and hence no. of loading level will be
Now, Total no. of shelfs in TD3
Divide Load carrying capacity by total no. of shelf in TD3 ??
hence UDL per shelf in D3 is ? Kg

Answer is 40 Kg

SAFE LOAD
n Safe Load is the maximum load that the shelf can carry without hampering the
capacity of the understructure
n The maximum load bearing capacity of a shelf is 80 kgs.
n Safe Load is therefore 80kgs or UDL whichever is less
n Eg : If the UDL is 120 kgs, and the maximum capacity of the shelf being 80 kgs, the
safe load for the particular body of optimizer will be 80 kgs.

Arriving at System Height
System Height = Height of Body + Understructure + Rails
Example:
Rails Ht. 35 mm
Understructure Ht. 65mm
Body ht. 1980 mm
Total Height 2080mm
Pl Note: There should be min. 200 mm space between total system Ht. and
ceiling.
