Palletizing and Depalletizing Systems
Full cases are often transported in pallets thus requiring a palletizing operation. Common palletizing methods include:
- Manual palletizing – which is often used for low volume applications.
- A conventional palletizer – which is used in high speed applications with consistent carton physical characteristics.
- A robotic palletizer – is ideal for medium speed applications with inconsistent carton physical characteristics.
Associated equipment with a palletizing operation may include:
- Pallet dispensers
- Stretch wrappers
- Shipping label applicators
- Slip sheets
- Drag chain or chain driven live roller pallet conveyors
