High and Low Level Palletizers
ZA Series of Automated High and Low Level Palletizers The ZA-50 High Level Palletizer, the ZA- 20 and ZA- 30 Low Level Palletizers form the next generation in palletizing machinery. Using an innovative concept (patent pending), the ZA-50 and ZA-30 automatically stack bags, cases or bales on a pallet. The layer is deposited on the pallet concurrently with the assembly of the next layer, meeting high production requirements in a low-cost/high-value package. These model palletizing systems use modular components for a wide range of capabilities and a flexible layout. The ZA-30 has increased load capacity -- the load remains on the pallet conveyor. A single layer of product is lowered to the load to be deposited. The full load remains stationary on the pallet conveyor. The ZA-28 line of High Level Palletizers was designed to serve a wide range of palletizing requirements using modular components. The ZA-28 series is a single-infeed line with rates starting at 28 bags-per-minute (Turn Post -- 5 bag pattern). Optional speed-up kits can bring the rates to approximately 35 bags-per-minute. The infeed can be on either the right or the left side. Adding a second infeed line creates the ZA-48 series with rates starting at 48 bags-per-minute (Turn Post – 5 bag pattern). With speed enhancements, the ZA-48 can produce pallets up to 56 bags-per-minute (Turn Post – 5 bag pattern). The ZA line can accommodate many different layouts without additional engineering. ZA-15 Low-Level Automatic Palletizer line was designed to serve the low-entry palletizer needs that require an increased load capacity and higher rates than currently available. The ZA-15 series is capable of up to 25 bags-per-minute (Turn Post - 5 bag pattern). The system manages the higher rate by forming a layer concurrently with the placement of the previous layer. A wide range of products can be processed, including flexible packages (bags) and boxed products. Layer compression and last layer compression is integral to the operation. Key benefits of the high level palletizers: Automatic squaring that eliminates the need to make mechanical adjustments when the product being palletized changes Interlocking fingers on opposing squaring plates insures superior squaring for all package sizes The top section can be rotated in 90 degree increments to accommodate a variety of pallet flow configurations with respect to the bag/package flow Key benefits of the high and low level palletizers: Common off-the-shelf components have been used where practical, reducing inventory requirements Structure components including new squaring systems, long-lasting replaceable wear strips on the layer forming plates, chain attachments, mainframe structure and more have been upgraded for increased strength and reliability Oversized tubes enclose the hoist chains for strength, while plate steel has been incorporated for maximum stability Advanced Operations Control Center using touch-screen technology and access to system parameters and maintenance statistics that allows the operator to create, tune and store multiple bag patterns Layer forming plates are motorized and ride on UHMW bearing surfaces, with replaceable wear strips – no high-maintenance or high-cost load bearing shafts. The palletizers can place gaps between bags on the layer due to the layer forming plate configuration Reduced installation wiring, using quick disconnect cables. Modular mechanics enables quick machine installation

Pallet Delivery Systems
Turn Units and Pallet Delivery Systems The Turn Post Unit provides a simple and reliable means to turn bags 90 degrees. Units with multiple turn stations are available for +_ 90 and 180 degree turns. New upgraded configuration is also available. The Turning Mechanism allows the operator to turn bags +_ 90 degrees or 180 degrees with high accuracy. The servo-controlled unit provides high throughputs for difficult products. We offer a unique Pick-and-Place Empty Pallet Delivery System. This unit grips the top pallet of a stack and transports it to the Empty Pallet conveyor. An optional slipsheet applicator can be added to the device for a complete high value unit. The unit can be combined with indexing stack conveyors to provide more pallet capacity. It can also be placed on either side of the conveyor or perpendicular to the conveyor. Longer units can accommodate more or different stacks of pallets and slipsheets. The Separation Pallet Delivery System, designed for the highest production levels, uses an air bag gripper system to raise the entire stack of pallets, leaving one pallet on the conveyor. The lone pallet is then conveyed to the next station. The stack is then lowered to the conveyor and the next pallet is separated. Add the new stand-alone slipsheet delivery system for a complete pallet/slipsheet handling package.

Pallet Conveyors
Conveyor Systems The Accumulation Conveyor/Pace Conveyor provides a means to accumulate, and meter bags to the turn unit of the palletizing equipment. Gravity decline and horizontal styles are available. Flattener/Conditioner The Incline Bag Flattener provides a means to evenly distribute the product within a bag for subsequent handling, while transporting the product up to the palletizer level. We have a wide variety of conveyor options to serve product handling requirements. Our stock line of conveyor products, such as product conveyor and pallet conveyor, are based upon the specific application requirements (length, width, etc). We often integrate other OEM products into our systems. We also have the Overlapping Mechanism that provides selectable/adjustable overlapping of straight bags or could be added to any bag pattern. Ask us about: Inline Checkweighers, Metal Detectors Reject Systems, Top Film Delivery, Tie Sheet Delivery, Power Curves.
