Is your inventory stacked haphazardly? Not only does it waste a lot of space, but it also easily leads to damage and chaos. Do you want to improve production efficiency and save labor costs, but you don’t know how to choose the right equipment?
You may have heard of palletizing robots, high-bay palletizers, column robots, etc., but do you know the working principles and advantages of different equipment, and what pain points and needs they address?
What is a Palletizer?
A palletizer is a device that vertically stacks goods on pallets according to preset stacking patterns and rules. It can improve production efficiency, save labor costs, and reduce damage and chaos. A palletizer typically consists of the following components:
Conveyor Belt: Used to transport goods from the production line or storage area to the palletizing area.
Steering Mechanism: Used to adjust the direction and position of the goods to meet palletizing requirements.
Palletizing Equipment Body: Used to pick up goods from the conveyor belt and place them on pallets according to the set arrangement order.
Control System: Used to set the palletizing patterns and rules, monitor the equipment’s operating status, and handle abnormal situations. Palletizers are typically used to automatically stack pre-packaged cartons, woven bags, drums, etc., onto pallets or stacks in a specific arrangement, then push them out for forklift transport to warehouse storage.
Currently, most models on the market feature intelligent operation and management functions, using PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) + touch screen control, making them simple and easy to operate and master. This type of equipment significantly reduces manpower requirements and labor intensity while improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the equipment can be single-layer, double-layer, or multi-layer. In addition, palletizers are also high-tech mechatronics products, capable of meeting diverse production needs and efficiently palletizing various products.
