Pallet-charging machine

Between filling plant, sales and trade, the beverages are transported and stored in packing units (cases, boxes, trays).

For this pupose, pallet-charging and uncharging are used in the filling systems. Prior to stacking the packing units onto the pallet, the units are first formed in a layer and then fed into the pallet-charging machine. Pallet-charging is always executed layer by layer.

The pallet-charging machine normally consists of a machine frame built on one stand or as a gantry that can be traversed in three axes. A hoisting gear with swivel unit for the loading head is attached to the machine frame. Depending on the packaging type or unit, pallet-charging machines can be equipped with different loading heads (e.g. hook-grippers or layer-clamping heads).
