Palletizing Machines for Various Handling Tasks
SMB develops comprehensive intralogistics solutions for automated palletizing, depalletizing, repalletizing and stacking of load carriers. Depending on the desired handling function, our palletizers, depalletizers, pallet changers or pallet stackers can be used individually or together.
Palletizers
Loading pallets and forming load units
Our fully automated palletizers allow the highest level of precision at high processing speeds during palletizing. For different load carriers, packing units, packing patterns and handling tasks, we offer various palletizing methods.
Depalletizers
Isolate pallets and unload products
Depalletizers unload carriers. Fully automated, they remove the packages from the pallet. Then they hand over the products to the downstream conveyor.
Pallet Changers
Repalletizing load carriers
Transferring goods from one pallet to another is often a crucial step. In many cases a clean pallet is required – especially when receiving goods at a warehouse or a pallet storage system. At the shipping dock, stacking the load onto a second transport pallet may be necessary. A Pallet Changer from SMB ensures transport stability and prevents goods from tilting or sliding.
Our palletizing systems accelerate your intralogistics, optimize your material flow and increase the economic and energy efficiency of your production. They protect people and materials, improve order throughput times and warehouse planning abilities.
Our palletizing systems can either be placed as an individual automated solution or as part of a larger system, with several palletizing machines working together.
We can integrate additional components into your palletizing system. These could be labelers or systems for reliable load protection, such as pallet wrappers, stretch machines or strapping machines for securing packages like cardboard boxes, cans, barrels or hobbocks.
We develop modern palletizing systems with sensitive product handling and optimal space utilization. All components are integrated and work smoothly and efficiently together. This is made possible with our advanced control technology and software.
Common Applications for Palletizing Systems
SMB's palletizing systems support many labor-intensive processes of production and warehousing, for example in goods receiving, along production lines, in warehousing and in goods shipping. They stack packages, pick items or disassemble loading units. We have compiled a list of the most common handling tasks our palletizing systems take on.
The quality of pallets can vary greatly, especially transport pallets. To prevent pallets of poor quality from causing disruptions in internal processes, our pallet stackers lift the received pallets onto sturdy Euro pallets for further transport.
Palletizing to meet clean room requirements is standard in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food production industries. In accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice, goods delivered on wooden pallets must be repalletized onto hygienic pallets made of plastic or aluminum. Our palletizing systems also work for airlocks between black and white areas. When transporting pharmaceutical goods, they transfer these goods from in-house pallets onto transport pallets.
Many manufacturing plants use high-quality or standardized pallets as in-house pallets, which remain in circulation internally. Once the stored goods leave the warehouse, the load carrier must be changed or removed.
Empty pallets or wire mesh boxes can be stacked right at the receiving dock with a pallet stacker for optimized warehousing . This optimizes space utilization. Additionally, a pallet stacker can be used to place loaded pallets onto a stable carrier pallet.
SMB Project Development for New and Existing Warehouses
We can implement our palletizing systems as new installations (Greenfield solutions) or into existing facilities (Brownfield solutions). Are you planning on starting from scratch? Or do you want to optimize the material flow of existing facilities? Consult with our intralogistics experts today!
Greenfield Projects
Are you planning a new palletizing system? Or do you want to optimize or renew parts of your existing production line?
Together we will develop the best solution and provide you with palletizing machines fit for purpose: Palletizers, palletizing robots, depalletizers, pallet changers or stackers with stand-alone functional system technology and software.
If the project calls for it, we can also customize our palletizing systems to your specific requirements.
Brownfield Projects
We can also integrate our palletizing systems into your existing facility or production environment. Our main focus is on connectivity - the interplay between existing systems and new installations.
We ensure that our palletizing systems perfectly integrate into your material flow, improving it with efficient pallet handling made possible by state-of-the-art automation technology and software.
We are happy to share the knowledge we have gained from numerous intralogistics projects.
SMB is your Project Partner for Customized Solutions
SMB's palletizing systems can process different types of containers and pallet unit loads and create precise layer patterns and stable packing patterns. Different pallet types are just as little a problem for our palletizers and repalletizers as varying load carrier sizes.
The basis for optimum palletizing systems: the individual requirements of your company
We make palletizing under clean room conditions possible as well as combining it with a production and packaging line, filling systems or an Automated Pallet Warehouse. Fully automated internal logistics chains are thus created via conveyor systems.
Please contact us with your specific requirements.
Storage Systems
At SMB, we design and implement automated storage systems. We specialize in automated pallet warehouses. We provide a fully automated compact warehouse with our in-house truck shuttle systems.
