Palletizing Machines
Palletizing machines are automated machines or conveyor systems which arrange a maximum load of packaged product units onto a pallet for distribution. Pallet loads are frequently used for mass shipping and distribution as a convenient means of consolidating many smaller units into one larger, more easily handled unit. Because individual packaged units can be heavy, awkward, and physically strenuous to handle manually, many manufacturing and distribution plants use palletizing machines instead of manual pallet loading. This is because palletizing machines have many advantages over manual pallet loading, including precision, load stability and worker ergonomics. In addition, palletizer machines can work faster and have better consistency than a human operator, who may incur expensive injuries as a result of continuous lifting. Automated conveyor palletizers may be low level palletizers which load packaged units from a floor level, or they may be high level palletizers which move packaged units from another story above. Palletizing machines may be designed to handle one type of product, such as bag palletizers, case palletizers, drum palletizers and bottle palletizers, or they may handle several different types of packages. Distribution centers and manufacturing facilities handling incoming shipments often use depalletizers to unload packaged units, and palletizing machine accessories such as pallet dispensers and load transfer stations are used to assist in managing both pallets and loads.
Palletizing machines can be fully automatic or semi-automatic and are typically powered through hydraulic, pneumatic or electro-mechanical means. Three of the most common types of palletizing machines include robotic palletizers, low level palletizers and high level palletizers. Fully automatic, robotic palletizing machines are typically stationed between a conveyor line of incoming product units and a pallet dispenser. A hydraulic robotic arm lifts cases, bottles, bags or drums using flat pincer arms or suction cup arms in organized rows onto a pallet, stacking units with near-perfect precision. Robotic palletizing machines may be altered to work with different types of product units and are excellent for handling fragile or heavy product units, although they may be slower, as they can only place one unit or row at a time. Low level and high level palletizing machines are two types of conveyorized palletizing machines which have a feed area that receives the goods which are to be palletized. In low level palletizing machines, or floor-entry palletizing machines, products are loaded from the ground level, while high level palletizers are loaded from above or from the story above. The packaged units are received by roller conveyors and are continuously transferred and sorted to the pallets by automated conveyor rollers, allowing greater packaging speed than robotic palletizers. Low and high level palletizing machines may be fully automatic, requiring no manual involvement, or they may be semi automatic, requiring loads to be manually connected and disconnected from the palletizer lifting arm.
