How the APL-5240 palletizer works

Conventional case palletizer APL-5240 Premier Tech

The operator selects the pattern or SKU on the touchscreen.
A pallet is automatically lowered from the dispenser and conveyed to its stacking position.
Products enter the machine via a waist high conveyor where a pacing conveyor spaces each unit. They are oriented and positioned in a row according to the selected pattern.
Once a row is formed, the row pusher gently transfers it to the layer elevator.
When the layer is completed, the elevator raises above the load to gently deposit products.
As the plate retracts, a rear bar holds units in place to ensure each layer is centered on the pallet. If required, compression bars can center and stabilize each layer to prevent mishandling during shipping.
Once the load is completed, the pallet is conveyed out of the build zone, and the palletizer begins to stack the next pallet.
