Cartesian palletizers

PK series

Product description

PK series palletizers are designed for stacking bags filled with vegetables or loose materials onto pallets. Devices in this series are equipped as standard with a forming chamber system that helps maintain a consistent and well-defined pallet shape.

The PK-4, PK-6 and PK-8 models are fully automatic palletizing systems. The process begins with an empty pallet being fed from the pallet magazine into the palletizer. The palletizer then stacks the bags on the pallet, and once the pallet is full, it is transported to the automatic wrapper. The wrapping machine operates in a fully automatic cycle, starting and finishing the wrapping process without operator intervention. After being wrapped in netting or film, the pallet is moved to a buffer area, from which it can be collected by the operator. This fully automated solution significantly reduces the number of personnel required to prepare finished pallets.

The PK-2 model is a semi-automatic version, in which the empty pallet must be loaded manually, and the filled pallet must be manually removed.
