Description of the stationary pallet changer V-SHAPE
The system guarantees a productivity of 50 pallets per hour.
The V-Shape automatic pallet changer and logistics system is an automatic pallet changer equipped with a conveyor placed on the platform, a pallet dispenser (suitable for all types of pallets) and a roller conveyor. Pallet dispenser are equipped with chain conveyors for the collection and delivery of pallets. In addition, the system is equipped with a chain conveyor leading the pallet to the “Toppy V ‐ Shape” machine, for automatic pallet replacement.
Every pallet dispenser is able to manage different types of pallets with a maximum capacity of 15 units.
It is a logistics system that guarantees a faster pallet change than the stand-alone machine thanks to the pallet warehouses that are equipped with conveyors for the collection and delivery of wooden and plastic pallets.
The automatic pallet changer is equipped with the adaptive centering system with sonar measurement that allows to center the goods inside the new pallet while compensating for the difference in size of the two pallets if they are different. The security of the system is guaranteed through the use of a perimeter of metal meshes and man photocells for access control.
How does the pallet change operation take place?
Below we describe the logistics system phases needed to replace wooden pallet with a plastic pallet. Vice versa, operation can be managed via PLC with adequate programming.
The operating logic of the system is illustrated below:
1. The product is loaded directly on the “Toppy V‐Shape” pallet changer through
forklift.
2. The “Toppy V‐Shape” closes the upper platform and, at the same time, turns
the load 120°. The load steadiness is guaranteed by the machine “Toppy VShape”
structure. At this moment, the sonar measures the product, that measurement will be processed to the centering the pallet on the product.
3. The load platform is driven to 0°, taking back to initial level the pallet to be
replaced.
4. Through the lowered chain conveyor, placed on the platform, the pallet is
removed and loaded onto the chain conveyor, then taken to the pallet stacker and, finally, stacked.
5. The other pallet stacker in the meanwhile has prepared the pallet to be changed, that will be delivered to the chain conveyor and, from there, to the pallet changer "Toppy V‐Shape".
6. The centering system place the pallet through electric cylinders since it is
centered with the product.
7. The pallet changer “Toppy V‐Shape” takes the pallet to 120°, in contact with the
product, after which pallet and product are led back to the floor level, ready to
be picked up.
Can “TOPPY V-SHAPE inline” be customized for special applications?
Yes, absolutely, we are able to customize inline system according to the customer’s needs.
Which products are suitable for this device?
This automatic pallet inverter is able to work with many products, boxes, vials, flasks, trays, bottles, packs, big bags, big boxes, barrels, paper barrels, buckets, cans, reels, large containers, paper rolls, plywood, battery etc.
What type of pallet it’s able to operate with?
It can operate with any pallet size, from standard to special ones. It is possible to use pallets of many materials (wood , plastic, aluminium, iron, etc.)
How does the pallet change take place?
The operation takes place by tilting the load at 120°.
How are the products loaded or unloaded from the pallet changer devices?
They can be loaded and unloaded by forklift or forklift truck.
How does it operates with fragile products?
Even the most fragile products are securely locked by the upper platform in order to safe the product. The upper platform locks the products with a light pression managed by a shock absorber system and limit-switches that prevent the products to be crushed.
What’s the difference between “mobile” and “stationary” pallet?
The mobile pallet changers are really versatile systems as they do not need to dedicate a specific area for the operation so can be performed in any production area. The stationary pallet changers partially compensate the use of the transpallet as it allows the transport of the loads inside the dispenser.
Our stationary pallet changer are used by customers who need to change a substantial number of pallets per hour.
Pallet change logistics systems are required to automate consistent flows of goods on pallet. In order to manage large quantities of goods and to reduce personnel costs, we usually recommend our logistics lines.
