How to Choose the Right Palletising Machine for Your Business?

Palletising Machine is a type of equipment used in the production industry for the automatic stacking of goods and products on pallets. This machine has improved the efficiency and speed of production lines, making it a must-have in any manufacturing business. With a wide variety of palletising machines available in the market, choosing the right one can be a daunting task. In this article, we will address common questions asked when selecting the right palletising machine for your business.

What factors should you consider when choosing a palletising machine?

Some essential factors to consider when choosing a palletising machine include the type of packaged products, production capacity, the weight of the packaged products, and the level of automation required. The type of packaged products will determine the size and shape of the required pallet and the type of gripper head to be used. The production capacity, on the other hand, refers to the number of products to be palletised per hour or per shift. The weight of the packaged products is used for calculating the payload capacity and the robot's arm length. Lastly, the level of automation required will determine the type of machine suitable for the business.

What are the types of palletisers available?

There are two types of palletisers: conventional palletisers and robotic palletisers. Conventional palletisers use mechanical components such as chains, gears, and cams to stack goods, while robotic palletisers use robotic arms. Conventional palletisers are less flexible and can only stack goods that meet predetermined patterns. In contrast, robotic palletisers can stack goods in any order, shape, or size.

What are the advantages of using a palletising machine?

Using a palletising machine increases efficiency, reduces labor costs, increases production output, and reduces the risk of workplace injuries. The machine can also work 24/7, optimize pallet stacking patterns, and improve product stability during transportation. In summary, choosing the right palletising machine requires evaluating factors such as the type of packaged products, production capacity, weight of the packaged products, and the level of automation required. Both conventional and robotic palletisers have their advantages and disadvantages. With this knowledge, business owners can make informed decisions on the most suitable palletising machine for their operation.
