I am interested in obtaining ideas on gravity fed rollers that will enable FIFO in food manufacturing. I have heard of rollers that are restocked from the front and the product will roll backwards, drop through an opening and roll towards the front...they are in the shape of a sideways V..is anyone familiar with this?
