A Low-Level Palletizer is an automated palletizing machine designed to stack bags, boxes, cases, bottles, or other packaged products onto pallets at floor level. Unlike high-level palletizers that operate from an elevated platform, low-level palletizers feature a low infeed height, typically between 600–1,200 mm, allowing operators to easily access the machine for maintenance, troubleshooting, and format changeovers without the need for stairs or platforms.
Low-level palletizers are widely used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, building materials, and logistics, offering a cost-effective and space-efficient solution for medium to high-volume palletizing operations.
Low Infeed Height
The low infeed design allows for:
Easy integration with existing conveyors at ground level
Simplified operator access for maintenance and adjustment
Reduced safety risks compared to elevated platforms
Versatile Product Handling
Capable of palletizing a wide range of product types:
Cases (corrugated cartons)
Bags (plastic, paper, woven)
Bottles and cans (with or without trays)
Bundles and shrink-wrapped packs
Flexible Pallet Patterns
The machine can create various stacking patterns, including:
Column stacking (straight layers)
Interlocking stacking (for improved stability)
Custom patterns programmable via HMI
High Efficiency & Reliability
Production speeds typically range from 10 to 40 layers per minute (or 300 to 2,000+ cases per hour)
PLC control system with HMI touchscreen for easy operation and monitoring
Servo-driven mechanisms for precise layer formation and pallet placement
Multiple Pallet Handling Options
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Pallet Dispenser | Automatic pallet feeding from a pallet magazine |
| Slip Sheet Dispenser | Optional for inserting slip sheets between layers |
| Pallet Conveyor | Integrated conveyor for pallet infeed and discharge |
Compact Footprint
Low-level palletizers typically require less floor space than high-level or robotic palletizers, making them suitable for facilities with space constraints.
