Stack & Wrap Mixed Layer Palletizing Packstation
The Stack & Wrap™ Mixed Layer Palletizing Packstation combines ergonomic case handling, state-of-the art stretch wrapping technology and automatic pallet handling to streamline the stacking of pallets with mixed product/packaging for distribution centers.
The Packstation helps build mixed layer pallets up to 5X faster than manual systems and up to 1000 cases/hour/2 operators ergonomically and very efficiently in 33% less floor.
Mixed cases arrive on a product conveyor at the Stack & Wrap Mixed Layer Palletizing Packstation. Operators move inbound cases ergonomically to the right position on the pallet. When a layer is completed, the operator presses a button to lower the pallet so the next layer of products can be stacked. As the pallet goes down with each completed layer, the load is secured by an integrated stretch wrapping unit that is located under the loading tube.
When the pallet is wrapped and completed, the operator presses a button, and the full mixed layered pallet descends onto the pallet conveyor. While the completed pallet is being lowered, a new empty pallet is inserted in the stacking tube so the operator can continue building layers during pallet exchange.
The full pallet is then transported to the outfeed position for the forklift to pick up or automated conveyance. Empty pallets are loaded in stacks at ground level on the infeed conveyor. The empty pallet de-stacking system picks one pallet at a time and feeds it to the waiting position, so that when a full pallet is completed the exchange takes place.
