For plants with either limited floor space or a small budget, this compact palletizer (Model72AN) offers a simple and economical solution to increase production and eliminate the cost andliability of manual operation. It occupies from 10 to 30% less floor space than conventional low level palletizers depending on the accessories required (transfer conveyor, pallet dispenser/transport) and offers complete flexibility for product feed and pallet configuration. All operation is automatic which eliminates the risk of employee injury and related costs from repetitive palletizing actions. No pallet dispenser is required for the Model 72AN. Up to 5 empty pallets can be stacked in the load area for palletizing and the layers of product are automatically directed to the top pallet level. Once the load is completed, the lift truck operator simply removes the top pallet and contents, and the palletizer continues to load the next pallet; once all pallets have been loaded and removed, the operator

Packagers looking to reduce their corrugated consumption now can automatically palletize small packages, and build end-aisle display pallets with the Model 72A palletizer from A-B-C. The palletizer has a custom infeed that orients, collates and feeds the product to the stainless steel staging table that ensures smooth product transfer. After the sweep-bar guides the layer to the pallet stack, each layer is tightened and squared by A-B-C’s exclusive four-side squaring device that ensures a secure, cohesive layer. In the past, these types of packages were palletized manually, because automatic solutions could not form the tight pallet loads that are required for pallet stability. While some robotic palletizers are utilized for palletizing small packages, the unique challenges of these products made it difficult to create tightly formed layers and pallets with robotic systems. A-B-C’s palletizing solution allows packagers to benefit from the speed and efficiency of automatic o
