Palletizers
These
are the pallet forming machines. The product is introduced to the infeed conveyer
of the palletizer that has three drives for proper control. There are self tracking
conveyer metering belts for product counting. There are controls for product row
forming. The third drive accumulates the product rows before sending to the layer
accumulation section. The products are transferred to this section in a low profile
sweep. After one full layer has been formed, it is swept to the stripper plate.
Each layer is compacted here, it is transferred to the empty pallet. When the
requored number of layers has been palletized, the load is removed and another
pallet dispensed. Low
level palletizer forms a loading unit, which are fed to the machine at low level.
High level palletizer forms a loading unit fed to the machine at high level. The
pallet is raised as the product is transferred onto it and then lowered. Multi-position
forms a number of different loading units simultaneously. Group packages are formed
into layers and transferred to the pallet, a layer at a time. Robot palletizer
forms a loading unit, in a variety of forms, which are picked up, oriented and
placed on the pallet one at a time. Lift-off palletizer forms a loading unit comprising
rigid containers or group packages. They are formed into layers, lifted and placed
on the pallet, which are formed into layers and then lifted.
