Gantry Palletizers
Bastian's gantry palletizer provides automatic palletization of cases, bags, pails, and drums from one or more packaging lines. It is designed to position product containers on pallets or slip sheets prior to storage. Products are oriented consistently onto the pallet. Multiple infeed and discharge layouts are available. Our modular design utilizes state-of-the-art controls and is available from two to four axes of motion to accurately and efficiently position all product containers. Modular components allow for easy upgrades when future needs require additional speed, patterns or options. Systems integrate easily with upstream and downstream equipment for totally automatic operation. An open architecture allows for easy maintenance access. Operators also have easy access from floor level.
Bastian's gantry palletizers are an affordable solution to minimize ergonomic issues associated with repetitive motion, lifting and rotation by employees performing hand palletizing.
How Gantry Palletizers Work
Gantry palletizers allow for multiple infeeds and discharges and will accommodate heavy product at slow speeds. Gantry palletizers pick up layers, rows, or individual products one at a time. Multiple separate packaging lines can be palletized by a single gantry cell and operating speed is up to four placements per minute. Each placement can be a single container, a row or an entire layer of product depending on container size and system requirements. Standard lifting capacity is 500 lbs which is more than sufficient for most applications.
Full pallets can be removed manually or automatically with a variety of conveyor or shuttle car options. Empty pallets can be positioned manually or automatically with an automatic pallet dispenser and conveyor or a specially designed end or arm tool equipped for pallet handling.
