FAQs

What is a floor level palletizer and how does it work?

Package / product infeed elevation is usually at 36″ above the floor for a Floor Level palletizer. Complete loads of product are built by forming rows of product which become complete layers. Layers are stacked to create complete pallet loads with a predetermined load configuration.

What are the benefits of using a floor level palletizer?

All machine access, viewing and maintenance can be conveniently done from the floor.

What are the key features of a floor level palletizer?

Most floor-level infeed palletizers receive products at about 36″, forming rows and layers in specific patterns. Layers are stacked to create complete pallet loads with a predetermined load configuration.

How can I determine the right size of floor level palletizer for my operations?

Palletizer sizing is a function of desired production rate (cases per minute), layer patterns and machine and facility layout.

How does a floor level palletizer improve production efficiency?

Automating the end of a production line is a necessity when the rate is too high for workers to safely build loads by hand, or when the finished load is tall, creating a risk of injury due to repetitive motion activity.

What are the maintenance requirements for floor level palletizers?

Maintenance needs are minimal but depend on the application. Dusty environments or 24/7 operations require more frequent upkeep. Typical annual tasks may include replacing conveyor belts, cylinder seals, or sensors.
