Our automated palletizing solutions leverage robots and end-of-arm tooling to deliver high-speed, precise palletizing for diverse industrial applications. From case palletizers to robotic palletizing systems, our automated palletizing equipment ensures seamless integration and optimal efficiency in any palletizing robot application.
There are four groups of Palletizers: robotic, low-level, high-level and in-line palletizers.
Robotic Palletizer (Robot Palletizer)
Robotic palletizers are automatic or semi-automatic. They typically stand between a pallet dispenser and a pallet conveyor belt line that carries incoming products. A hydraulic robotic arm lifts the product and neatly organizes it onto a pallet. Robotic palletizers can only lift one item at a time, yet they are much faster than manual stacking and are not prone to fatigue or injury.
Low-Level and High-Level Palletizers
Both types work with conveyors and a feed area that receives products. The difference between the two is that low-level load products from the ground level and high-level load products from above. In both cases, products and packages arrive on conveyors, where they are continuously transferred to and sorted on the pallets. These palletizing processes may be automatic or semi-automatic, but either way, both are faster than the robotic palletizing process.
In-Line Palletizer System
In-line systems are systems designed to stack complete layers of bags or cartons at one time. Row stripper palletizers are a type of in-line palletizer that organizes a row then pushes it to the side until another row forms. The palletizer will stack row on top of row until a pallet is complete. Another type of in-line palletizer is the vacuum-head unit. Vacuum head units grab and hold onto items with air-powered suction cups.
What Affects the Speed of Palletizers?
Looking back in the history of manufacturing, the goal has always been to make processes faster and more efficient. This mentality also applies in packaging. There are a number of factors that decide the speed of a palletizer. During design, you need to know product length, product per layer and product weight.
