Palletizers

Fast but gentle, the PA15 is ideal for palletizing sensitive products. In the high-speed range it can palletize up to 10 layers/min. at pallet heights up to 2,800 mm, layer sizes up to 1,500 x 1,500 mm and layer weights up to 150 kg.

By conveying rather than pushing, the palletizer moves rows of products or entire layers. A placement belt slides under the bundle, sets it down at its destination, secures it and withdraws to ensure continuous product flow.

Using our intelligent control system, pallet layer patterns can be formed with gaps. The upstream grouping system can also grasp individual products and arrange them in any formation.

• Easy-to-program ‘Pallet-Maker’ layer pattern designing tool
• Industry 4.0 capable with predictive and remote maintenance
• Highly flexible pallet layers/layout configuration
• Small footprint and minimum control cabinet size
• Multiple level palletizer infeed heights, including floor-level-palletizing
• Precisely aligned, four-sided compression layer formation
• Adaptable to new requirements using modular extensions and upgrades

The Layer Palletizer PA16 is ideal for universal use at up to 5 layers per minute and for a wide variety of applications and products - such as plastic crates, cartons, stacking baskets, bags, packs, etc.

A typical application is its use as a end-of-line palletizer placed downstream from packaging machines, e.g. in the bakery and food industry. A variety of infeed versions and an optional interleaf inserter allow for a wide range of possibilities.

• Maximum quality of layer formation through 4-sided layer compression and automated pallet centering
• Easy programming through open control system for either Siemens or Rockwell
• Highest flexibility for customer specific layouts: on floor or elevated infeed solution, full pallet removal from 3 sides
• Optimized footprint through compact design and minimum control cabinet size

The Robot Palletizer EcoPal features a double fork-layer gripper designed for handling whole layers. It is versatile and can handle various products, such as cartons,foil-wrapped-products, stacking trays etc. without needing format parts.

It can operate load capacities of up to 60 kg per layer. The EcoPal combines the ZF75 infeed station with the GR75 layer gripper, offering modular design for standardized configurations and layouts.

• Handling a variety of pallet configurations with only one gripper
• Capable of handling a large number of products
• Best in class price value ratio
• Flexible and customer specific layout configurations
• Easy programming through Siemens PLC - no robot programming required
• The robot can handle up to 4 layers per minute ; the infeed system up to 16 products per minute and a total throughput of up to 24 pallets per hour.

Through a unique combination of conveying and layer gripping, the Layer Wave can pick complete product layers from a conveyor line and place them gently on a pallet, regardless of product or layer pattern.

Unlike conventional systems using fork or clamp grippers, its compact design provides space savings of up to 40%. Combining it with the Robot Palletizer AR500 provides a complete, accurate, coordinated flow solution.

• Easy programming and maintenance (with Siemens/Rockwell controls) via the PLC
• Layer weights of up to 200 kg possible
• Gentle product handling of complete layers
• Proven, simple configuration

Designed for limited spaces and multiple product formats, the case stacker is the first choice for fully automated stacking and palletizing. Not only can it stack palletized plastic cases, meat crates and nestable carton trays (including trays with stacking corners), but it can also stack cartons and bakery baskets without pallets.

The Layer Palletizer PA14 is particularly suited for palletizing pre-stacked containers, with an upstream shuttle system that supports handling of mixed product stacks and pallet loads.

Each KST05 case stacker positions products in a tower and buffers them in lanes aligned to the production lines. After four stacks or two stack pairs have been formed, they are grouped into one case stacking unit to be loaded onto pallets. Case stacks are transferred onto the sliding apron of the PA14, which positions the empty pallet and lowers the stacks onto it. An electrically driven side compression maintains the stack position.

• Economic and maintenance-friendly stack palletizer
• Variable plastic case and carton tray stacking heights
• Automatic product and format changeovers reduce downtime
• A variety of grippers offers increased flexibility
• Unit performance can be expanded through additional stackers
• Supports industrial, Euro and Düsseldorfer half pallets
