ROBOTIC PALLETISER CUT COSTS
 |
New APS robotic palletisers from SMI are designed to be the most affordable, yet sophisticated systems offered. The systems, dedicated solely to palletising, are built on a column to achieve high throughputs on a small footprint.
"Too often we see wheezing monstrosities at the end of the packing line often backed up by gangs of part-time staff.said SMI manager Steve Warren, announcing the launch of the APS range. ìBut now almost anyone packing high-volume goods can afford afford automated pallet loading. These new palletisers use computer power to control the simplest possible mechanicals, so they will prove as reliable as our legendary shrink and carton systems, many of which are still going strong after 20 years."
Either high or low level variants can be specified with capacities of 500 and 300 layers per hour. A range of grip heads adapts to cartons, shrink packs, bundles, trays and even bagged product.
Fast installation
 |
Your new APS palletising system can be set up in around half a day, as each module is factory assembled, pre-cabled and tested delivery.
If you need to relocate the system it is easy to disassemble. It can then be installed and started up in less than 3 hours.
Mechanical simplicity, robotic components and an optimised frame all help to cut your maintenance costs and energy consumptions drastically, and assure long service life.
