JMP Australia, a leading provider of turn-key robotic palletising, packing, stretch wrapping and conveying solutions has released their latest offering, the K-Pal Palletiser. The K-Pal system has the advantages of a layer palletiser with the flexibility of a robotic palletiser and is ideal for handling bulky and unstable packages.
The palletiser features an Industrial robot that picks product from an infeed conveyor and places it onto a layer squaring and stripping plate assembly. A whole layer is formed robotically then deposited onto the pallet stack in the same fashion as a conventional layer palletiser where the stripping plate slides back placing the product onto the pallet stack.
This new configuration becomes an excellent solution for products which don’t easily stack on each other because the layer squarers lock the packages against each other as they are placed on the pallet stack. The layer squaring arrangement also prevents products from sliding off uneven stack formations.
The result is a very square and tightly packed pallet load which is very stable and because the stacks are tighter and more stable it is possible to build taller stacks.
