What are they?
The depalletizing machines are automatic devices used to remove and separate products from the pallets on which they were loaded during the packaging or transportation process. In practice, these machines "unmask" or "unstack" the load present on the pallet, lifting the layers of products in an orderly and precise manner, and then send them to another phase of the production or distribution line.
Depalletizing machines are very common in various industrial sectors, such as food, logistics, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, where managing loads quickly and efficiently is essential. These machines can be designed to handle various types of containers, such as boxes, bottles, jars, or cans, and can operate in fully automatic or semi-automatic mode.
Depalletizers are particularly useful for reducing manual labor, improving the speed and accuracy of the unloading and handling process of materials.
What do we offer?
These machines require manual intervention to load the pallet onto the machine and, in some cases, to remove the products after they have been depalletized. However, the process of removing layers and products is partially automated.
Semi-Automatic Depalletizers: These require minimal human intervention for pallet insertion and product extraction, while the machine handles the process of removing product layers from the pallet.
Automatic depalletizers are fully automated and can operate without human intervention. They are ideal for high-productivity environments and large workloads. These systems autonomously remove product layers from the pallet, moving the loads to the next phase of production.
Robot Depalletizers: They use robotic arms to lift and transfer product layers. Robots can be programmed to handle different types of packaging and adapt to various shapes and sizes of pallets.
Vertical Extraction Depalletizers: They use a mechanical system to lift product layers from the pallet, pushing or lifting the products vertically.
In these depalletizers, the extraction process occurs horizontally. The operation involves removing one layer at a time, while the product is moved laterally. It is a common solution for heavier products or with more stable packaging.
Roller System Depalletizers: They use rollers to move the product from the pallet to the discharge area, lifting each layer horizontally and transferring it to another area of the production line.
These depalletizers are used for bulk loads, such as cans, bottles, boxes, or other items that are not packaged in individual packs or packaging. The systems are designed to handle objects that are arranged in a disordered manner on the pallet.
Vibration or Conveyor Belt System Depalletizers: They use vibrations or conveyor belts to separate and move bulk products from the pallet.
Some depalletizers are designed to handle special loads, such as mesh containers, boxes, or pallets with customized packaging. These machines are capable of handling delicate materials or with non-standard shapes.
Designed to handle fragile products (such as glass bottles or delicate containers), these depalletizers use advanced technologies to reduce the risk of product damage during the depalletization process. They may include artificial vision systems, delicate gripping technologies, and adjustable speed controls.
These systems are designed to handle multiple pallets simultaneously. They are useful in high-productivity environments where multiple production lines or different types of packaging need to be managed in the same process.
They use a suction cup system to grasp and lift products from the pallet. This type of system is particularly useful for lightweight or unstable packaging, such as plastic bottles or containers with particular shapes.
