Accessories for Carton and Bag Palletizing Solutions
Pallet Dispensers. Due to the sheer volume of pallets required for high speed lines, pallet dispensers are a must. They improve productivity by ensuring a constant supply of pallets to the palletizing stations. Pallet dispenser fed systems provide much better operator safety when compared to grounded pallet/floor stacking systems.
Pallet inspection systems. Pallets can be inspected for strength and dimensional integrity prior to palletizing.

Empty and filled pallet shuttles. A single pallet dispenser is used to service multiple load stations and filled pallets can be evacuated. These are suitable for low volume lines.
Rail Guided Vehicle system (RGV). RGV’s can be deployed when a high volume of pallets need to be fed and evacuated. RGV’s offer the flexibility and speed required for these conditions.
Base & Slip sheet dispensers. Base sheets are usually required on the base of the pallet, but in some cases, a slip sheet needs to be inserted between each layer.Automated slip sheets dispensers save valuable time, so that robot is dedicated to the palletizing operation.
Empty and filled pallet conveyors. Both roller and chain type conveyors are used depending on the pallet weight and configuration.
Online checkweighers. These devices measure the weight accurately while the bags/cartons are moving at the required line speeds. The bags that don’t conform to the specifications are rejected.
Metal detectors. For food products, there is a chance of contamination in the upstream process. Metal detectors are used to identify impurities with metallic content.
X ray machines. Metal detectors have their limitations. They do not detect impurities such as plastic, glass, wood and other non metallic objects. X ray machines are used to capture these foreign objects.
Bag Flatteners – For powdered products such as flour, cement and carbonate, dual belt type bag flatteners are recommended. For granular products such as rice, lentils animal feed and plastic pellets, a square roller type flattener is more economical and solves the purpose. Bag flatteners make the bags compact and ensure consistent layer building.
Bag Pushers and bag kickers. They are used to rotate and tilt bags
Stretch wrappers. Depending on the line speed , different types of stretch wrappers are available
For low speeds up to 25 pallets per hour – Turntable type
For medium speeds up to 60 pallets/hr- Rotating arm type
For High speeds – 140 Plus pallets per hour – Rotating Ring type
Top cover placement options can be added for waterproof solutions
Label Applicators – Side, front and back applicators are available to add the tracking functionality to stretch wrapped pallets.
