A dry mix mortar manufacturer needed to be quicker about providing mixed pallet loads to customers, so it brought in an expert on automated packing patterns.

By turning to an automatic robotic palletizer, the manufacturer realized a long list of advantages over manual labor. For example, the robotic process improved reliability, efficiency and safety. It also reduced waste and provided stable finished pallets in the most confined spaces.

The palletizer adjusts automatically to the required product parameters, such as bag quantity and packing pattern. This significantly reduces operator head count and downtime.

Mix and match

Continuously changing requirements demand maximum flexibility and integration potential of packing machines.

This automated, flexible unit can palletize and depalletize bags, boxes, cartons, containers, crates and trays. It operates at high geometric accuracy, with a capacity range of up to 900 packing units per hour.

The system has an electronic control system that allows for mixed pallet loads. The operator can lay packing units of varied size and weight onto the same pallet. The system includes a stretchhood that helps unitize the loads for customers and protects the loads from the weather and from rough handling.

Providing customers with undamaged product isn't the only task of palletizing and packaging systems, but for this dry mix mortar manufacturer, it's the most important.
