Robotic Palletisers

Discover HMPS Propac’s cutting-edge packaging automation solution designed to streamline production processes efficiently. In this video, we delve into the intricacies of our latest system, focusing on handling stacked trays with precision. The system begins by seamlessly diverting stacked trays into two separate sizes, efficiently managing throughput variability. These trays then proceed to two dedicated stacking towers, ensuring systematic handling and organisation. Central to our solution is a robotic palletiser, meticulously placing trays onto two pallet lines. This process is orchestrated to optimise space utilisation and enhance logistics efficiency without compromise. Following palletisation, our fully automatic stretch wrapping system takes charge, securing each pallet load. This step guarantees product integrity during transportation and storage, meeting rigorous industry standards effortlessly.

This state-of-the-art machine is designed to pick up large bags of powdered product from a conveyor and stack them efficiently on a pallet. Say goodbye to the tedious and time-consuming task of manual palletising, and hello to increased productivity leading to a more efficient supply chain!If you work in the food and beverage or manufacturing industries, our robotic palletiser is the perfect solution for your packaging needs.

The palletising system accumulates cartons into groups of 6. The ABB robot picks up the group of 6 and moves them past a scanner to read the batch code data on each carton for serialisation logging. Once all of the products are loaded into the shipper the top flaps are closed and taped and a label is placed on the shipper, and scanned for serialisation logging before being palletised.

ADDE designed and built a central palletiser for AstraZeneca in Sydney that uses autonomous vehicles (AGV) for all pallet movements. A mezzanine was installed to allow the UR10 robots upstairs to palletise while the pallets are finished downstairs. The system palletises onto cardboard Euro Pallets that are moved on customised tables. It uses Swisslog CarryPick vehicles which lift the tables with their integrated lifting system. The vehicles navigate using markers on the floor around a fixed path. The system is not 'people safe', mainly because of the large industrial robots downstairs, so these marker following vehicle are fit for purpose in this application. The system has 2 vehicles on the mezzanine and 3 downstairs in the pallet finishing operations all under the control of the master fleet management system.

ADDE design and built this central palletiser for the AstraZeneca facility in North Ryde, Sydney. The system collects product from the existing production lines, lifts the cases on custom designed lifter system and load them onto a Denipro EasyChain ring conveyor. The cases are then transferred onto Interroll roller conveyors and transferred out to the warehouse. A mezzanine floor was constructed to minimize floor space and allow palletising upstairs and pallet finishing down stairs. 7 UR10 collaborative robots palletise onto cardboard Euro pallets which are transported in custom tables. Swisslog Carrypick autonomous vehicles (AGV) provide all pallet movements with dedicated lifts transferring tables between the floors. Down stairs the pallets are scanned, wrapped, labelled, shrouded with a full cover then strapped with corner protection posts, labelled again before loading onto an out-feed accumulation conveyor.
