Graphic Packaging Material Handling Case Study
Key Technologies
- Hytrol low pressure infeed conveyor
- Safe Conveyor slide gate table top chain conveyor
- 90 degree rotation conveyor
- Row forming conveyor
- Pallet conveyor
- Layer building table
- Shuttle car system
- Series 4000 and series 4002 palletizers
- Bastian Robotics gantry stystem with a specialized End of Arm Tool (EoAT)
- Wulftec stretch wrapper

Business Challenges
- Optimize work force required to hand palletize five production lines and relocate those workers to various skilled positions
- Utilize reverse fold case handling and pallet-less palletizing
- Incorporate 44 unique palletizing patterns and up to 10 different pallet sizes
Results
- Optimized work force by reducing manual palletizing labor by more than 50%
- End design resulted in a traditional palletizing system handling 8 cases/min. in 50 unique stacking patterns
