Fully automatic drum palletizer – for stackable containers – compact version

Need

Stackable drums’ production lines have a fairly high number of pallets per hour. Therefore, they also have a high level of operator intervention time.

Moreover, 20 or 25 L drums are often stacked 7 layers high in order to optimize the transport height in the lorry. However, manually stacking those 7 layer high pallets is nearly impossible. To this end, you can use our DP300 or DP290 drum palletizers, suitable for stackable containers of 5 to 60 L!
Because it can make pallets up to 7 layers (3.1 m) high, you can work with Jumbo trailers, minimizing the transport costs!

The machine

So how does this work?

Firstly, the drums enter the machine on a conveyor and they form a row. Then, the palletizer pushes the row onto a table in order to make a layer. Once the complete layer is ready, the layer gripper grabs the layer. Then, the gripper puts the layer on the pallet.

In addition, this drum palletizer has a special centering system to ensure that the stacking nobs from the top container fit in the base of the following layer.

Moreover, the infeed can be optionally equipped with a rotary system, which allows to rotate every drum. After all, this is often necessary because containers are stacked facing the neck to the inside, for stability reasons.

Furthermore, this drum palletizer has programmable operator intervention schemes for placing trays, caps, etc.

Actually, the DP290 is a short/compact version of the DP300, without the roller conveyor going through. Therefore, the DP290 is often used in combination with AGV’s (automatic guided vehicle) or the pallets are manually removed on slower machines.

ADVANTAGES

Compact solution
Wide range of stacking patterns is possible
Easy setup and short changeover times thanks to recipes
