What are product handling systems?

Product and pallet handling system consist of conveying lines that transport pallet with product on to stacker or automatic rack loaders. Automated finger car with base car, forklifts or trac-a-rac transport these pallets with products or racks to curing chambers. After curing, cured products are transported to the rack unloader or de-stacker. De- stacked products are separated from pallets and cubed using plate style cubers or robomatic cubers.  

Types of Product Handling Solutions

Semiautomatic Solutions: Dual Off Bearer with PRS: Suitable for mid-scale facilities wanting an efficient pallet return system with minimal human efforts. 

Fully Automated Next-Gen Technologies:  

Rack Loader/Unloader:

Effortlessly integrated HMI, superior standards of safety, and smart throughput management for automictic loading of pallets on to racks. 

Plate Style Cuber:

For rugged performance and output heavy-duty automation is designed and simplified for cubing required in high-volume operational activities.

Hydraulic Off-Bearer Units:

Allows specific dual-pallet control required for loading/unloading activities, merging sensitivity with sustainability.

Choosing the Right Solution

Factors to Consider:

  • Plant capacity and production volume
  • Overall size and weight of pallets and products
  • Total degree of automation required
  • Adaptability with current existing tools and equipment.

Use Case Examples:

Entry-level solution: The SPM 20 system is ideal for beginners, designed to handle basic operations with ease and reliability. SPM 30 is for Mid-level output and medium level automation advanced MPM 1070 for comprehensive production in huge-scale lines.
