Quality built to provide top production on your packaging line

Quality construction, with proven production features and attention to detail set A-B-C depalletizers apart and ensure top performance.

  • Heavy gauge channel steel frames are welded and bolted for maximum strength and durability
  • Large diameter drive shafts are utilized throughout, including the container sweep and conveying systems
  • Dual heavy duty industrial roller chains transport the elevator table
  • Quiet and efficient electric motor drives provide reliable performance
  • Elevator tables are constructed of reinforced stainless steel to minimize friction with tapered edges to ensure stable unloading
  • Over 1600 pounds of counterweight contained within the twin elevator towers, to ensure smooth, accurate and vibration-free performance, even at maximum layer load
Economical Floor Level Operation

Low level depalletizing keeps production at floor level for low cost of operation

The low level design keeps operation, control, and maintenance at floor level, for maximum convenience and low cost performance. A clean, open profile ensures high visibility on the plant floor.

The floor level access points of this depalletizer keep your line personnel safely at floor level, simplify routine maintenance, and eliminate the need for costly overhead platforms. Your plant personnel can easily monitor depalletizer operation while performing other tasks.

Intelligent Machine Control

Intelligent machine control simplifies operation, changeover and maintenance

At the touchscreen, operation is one-touch easy. You can control all functions, diagnostics, and changeover settings, and set up daily, shift, or batch runs at the menu-driven interface. Real-time operating data is available at a glance. Preventive maintenance messages automatically flag periodic or routine tasks.

Maintain Full Pallet Integrity

Secondary layer and tier sheet are held securely during sweep-off

Before a layer of containers is transferred from the pallet to the transfer table, layer-stabilizing mechanisms square both the transferring layer and the layer below.

During layer transfer, the layer below is held securely by side mounted friction plates and the tier sheet is retained in position by four tier sheet grippers.

Ensure Maximum Container Stability

Multiple features work together to maintain bottle integrity and stability

The sweep carriage that transfers containers from the pallet to the transfer table has four containment devices that ensure bottle stability; two adjustable side plates, a rear sweep bar, and front support bar.

The motorized support bar travels with the bottle load during sweepoff, preventing “sweep gap” and ensuring full containment throughout transfer. The sweep and support bars are operated by independent, frequency-controlled motors and encoders. The precision chain and sprocket sweep mechanism design is proven in hundreds of installations worldwide to provide reliable, long-term performance.

Elevator Table Designed for Effortless Layer Transport

To deliver smooth and vibration-free operation

The elevator table is crafted of stainless steel and reinforced to provide smooth load transfer for years to come. The heavy gauge stainless transfer plate is supported by crossbar reinforcing beams, reducing case friction and eliminating table load stress.

The elevator table, which is guided with eight wide-faced roller bearings, is carried by heavy, high strength, industrial roller chain for exceptional performance.
