integrates, inside the central column's structure, the
palletizing, empty pallets feeding and inter-layer insertion
steps, i.e. the three operations usually performed by
separate machines inside their own dedicated space.
This system essentially consists of an articulated
horizontal arm the far end of which is fitted with a
gripper for grasping the pallets and a suction cups unit for
handling the cardboard inter-layers.
The horizontal beam on which the layers loading head
runs is fitted with a telescopic guides system that allows
the beam to move faster on its transverse axis.
Thanks to telescopic guides, the side of the column that
remains clear when the packages are inserted into the
loading head is exploited by the Smipal's system to house
the mechanical unit that manages the flow of pallets and
the insertion of the inter-layers.
The arm moves both vertically, sliding on the central
column to pick up and release the pallets and inter-layers,
and horizontally, to transfer the pallets and inter-layers
from their magazines to the palletizing pallet.
The machine's automation
and control system drives in perfect
synch the vertical and horizontal
movements of the various
mechanical units moving on the
central column, enabling them to
follow precise and coordinated
trajectories that prevent any contact
or interference.

Streamlined and compact palletizing line

» The “3 in 1” configuration substantially reduces the size
and dimensions of the palletizing system and offers
considerable advantages, compared to traditional solutions
made up of multiple standalone modules, in terms of
operating flexibility, work safety and machine maintenance.
» The compact configuration of the APS 3100 LP Plus
allows concentrating the use of forklifts, trans-pallets,
etc. in a well-defined zone, optimizing the management
of the loading and unloading areas, since the pallets and
inter-layers handling takes place on just one side of the
palletizer.
» Thanks to its compact size, the new Smipal's system can
be easily installed even in bottling and packaging lines that
have limited space at the end of the line.
