Palletising

What is Palletising?

Palletising is the final step on the packing line. Every filled bag, sack, box or tray can be stacked onto a pallet in a set pattern, so it's stable and ready for storage or transport. Instead of operators having to lift every bag, sack, box or tray by hand, some each weighing over 25kg/50lbs, an automatic palletiser picks each pack with a specially designed gripper head and places it in the right position, pack after pack, all shift long taking Agrimech's palletising systems handle bags, sacks, bales, boxes, trays and nets for a wide range of products, including potatoes, onions, animal feeds, powders and aggregates, and are designed and built in-house by our Engineering team.

Our Palletising Range

High-Speed Palletisers

For high-volume lines where the palletiser has to keep up with a fast weigher, placer and stitcher all shift. Zeus runs at 10–40 packs per minute, depending on the model, and handles the widest range of packaging, from bags, sacks, bales and nets to boxes and trays. Automatic pallet infeed and exit lanes and a pallet de-nester come as standard, so empty pallets are fed in and full ones moved out automatically. Each machine also comes with a gantry and staircase, and a large touch screen that's easy to programme.

        Bag and Box Palletisers

        For lines that don't need the speed of Zeus, Titan stacks 6–8 packs per minute in a cost-effective machine. Its ergonomic gripper head handles product gently to reduce the risk of damage, and it works with bags, sacks, bales, boxes and nets. A pallet de-nester, pallet exit lanes and pallet wrapping can be added as your line grows.

            Frequently Asked Questions

            What does an automatic palletiser do?

            An automatic palletiser takes each filled bag, sack or box as it comes off the line and stacks it onto a pallet in a set configuration pattern, the completed pallets are then ready for storage or transport.

            It keeps the pallets stacked the same way, shift after shift and takes the heavy lifting away from your team.

            Which palletiser is right for my operation?

            It depends on your pack type and the speed you need to run at. For lines running up to 6–8 packs a minute, Titan is a cost-effective choice for bags, sacks, bales, boxes and nets. For high-speed lines, Zeus runs at 10–40 packs a minute, depending on the model, and handles trays as well. If you're stacking trays, our Robotic Box Palletising System places up to 500 trays an hour in a compact footprint. Tell our Team your pack type, product and target speed and we'll recommend the right machine.

            How fast are your palletising systems?

            Speeds range across the line-up:

            • Zeus Alpha, Gamma and Sigma: 10–40 packs per minute
            • Titan Bag and Titan Box: 6–8 packs per minute
            • Robotic Tray Palletising System: up to 500 placements per hour

            Titan and Zeus speeds depend on the model selected.

            What packaging can your palletisers handle?

            Titan and Zeus handle all types of bags, sacks, bales, boxes and nets. The Robotic Tray Palletising System handles most trays, in any configuration or format.

            What products can I palletise with Agrimech?

            Our palletising systems are used for a wide range of products, including potatoes, onions, animal feeds, powders and aggregates.

            Do your robotic palletisers use new robots?

            Yes. Every Agrimech Robotic Palletising System is built with new robots only. We never use refurbished units.

            Can a palletiser handle empty pallets and wrapping too?

            Yes. Zeus comes with automatic pallet infeed and exit lanes and a pallet de-nester as standard, so empty pallets are fed in and full ones moved out automatically. A pallet de-nester and exit lanes are available as options on Titan, and pallet wrapping can be added as an option to both Titan and Zeus.

            Are your palletisers safe to work around?

            Every Agrimech palletiser is fitted with safety guarding and a safety light protection system, and moves product with smooth, controlled movements.

            What power and air supply does a palletiser need?

            Titan needs a 16 Amp, 3-phase, neutral and earth supply and cool, clean, dry air at a minimum of 7 bar (100 PSI). Zeus and the Robotic Tray Palletising System need a 32 Amp, 3-phase, neutral and earth supply and air at a minimum of 8 bar (116 PSI).

            What warranty and support comes with your palletisers?

            Every Agrimech palletiser comes with a 12-month parts and labour warranty and is backed by our Agri Care and Agri Link support services. A remote engineer link will be fitted so our Engineers can support you over an Ethernet connection.
