Pallets & Stack Patterns

Specify pallet dimensions, layer layout, stack height and load-stability requirements.

Payload & Throughput

Assess combined tooling and product load, reach and cycle requirements for the selected system.

Layout & Line Integration

Plan conveyor transfers, pallet exchange, safeguarding and optional strapping or wrapping.

Share package samples, pallet dimensions, stacking patterns, target output and line layout for selection guidance.

GET A CUSTOM SOLUTION

CHOOSE YOUR PALLETIZING SETUP

Find the Right Palletizing Configuration

Match handling equipment and automation scope to your packages, pallets and production flow.

Robotic Palletizing

Assess robot payload, reach and end-of-arm tooling for the package and stacking pattern. Confirm whether the proposal includes an arm, a complete cell or integrated equipment.

Carton Sealing & Palletizing

Coordinate sealed-case discharge, conveyor positioning and robotic pickup. Confirm carton handling and the interface between upstream packaging and palletizing.

Integrated Pallet Handling

Assess pallet supply, slip sheets, load discharge and downstream strapping or wrapping where required. Confirm each function in the proposed system.

Product stacking and bundling are different from building pallet loads. Confirm the intended output and equipment scope for the selected model.

PACKAGES & APPLICATIONS

Match Palletizing to Your Packaged Product

Use representative packages and stacking requirements to assess gripping, placement and load stability.

Bottled Products in Cases

Provide filled-case dimensions, weight and case strength. Assess handling after bottle or jar case packing and sealing.

Food & Beverage Cartons

Define carton variation, production rate and storage conditions. Review package support and suitable stacking patterns.

Personal Care & Household Cases

Share package weight, surface condition and case construction. Assess grip reliability and pallet-load arrangement.

Bags & Flexible Packages

Provide filled-bag shape, weight and material samples. Evaluate suitable tooling, support and placement with actual packages.

Retail Packs & Bundles

Clarify whether you need product stacking, bundling or pallet loading. Define the unit that will be picked and placed.

Multiple SKUs & Pallet Formats

List package sizes, pallet dimensions and required patterns. Confirm tooling, recipe changes and adjustment limits.

Suitability depends on the package, tooling and system configuration. Assess actual samples and the stability of the proposed pallet load.

FROM PACKED PRODUCTS TO PALLET LOADS

How a Palletizing System Works

A typical workflow coordinates package presentation, pickup, stacking and finished-load handling.

  1. 01

    Present Packages

    Deliver packages in the required position and orientation for pickup.

  2. 02

    Pick & Transfer

    Use suitable tooling to pick packages and transfer them within the configured working area.

  3. 03

    Build the Load

    Place packages according to the selected layer pattern and pallet configuration.

  4. 04

    Discharge & Protect

    Remove the finished load and transfer it to strapping or wrapping where specified.

Automatic pallet dispensing, slip-sheet placement, strapping and wrapping are configuration-dependent. Confirm operator tasks and pallet-exchange arrangements.

KEY SELECTION POINTS

What to Confirm Before Choosing a Palletizing System

Provide these six details to assess handling capacity, cycle requirements and factory layout.

Package Size & Weight

Share minimum and maximum dimensions, weight, surface condition and package strength. Include representative filled samples.

Payload & Gripper Requirements

Assess the combined product and tooling load, grip method and pickup orientation. Include simultaneous multi-package picks if required.

Pallet Size & Stacking Pattern

Provide pallet dimensions, layers, packages per layer, maximum stack height and target total load weight.

Output & Cycle Requirements

State packages per minute and pallets per hour. Include upstream variation, pallet exchange and any sheet-placement cycles.

Layout, Reach & Access

Provide conveyor heights, pickup positions, pallet stations and available floor space. Include operator, service and forklift access.

Utilities & Safeguarding

Confirm power, air and control interfaces. Define guarding, access control and safety requirements for the proposed cell.

AUTOMATED END-OF-LINE & CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS

Integrate Palletizing into Your Packaging Line

Coordinate case preparation, handling and load protection around your production workflow.

Case Packing & Sealing

Review case packing, closure quality and discharge orientation. Define the transfer from existing upstream equipment.

Conveying & Package Positioning

Assess conveyors, guides and accumulation needed to present packages consistently at the pickup point.

Pallet Supply & Exchange

Define pallet placement, empty-pallet supply and finished-load removal. Confirm manual tasks or automatic equipment.

Patterns & Slip Sheets

Review layer patterns, SKU changes and sheet requirements. Confirm the tooling, controls and optional sheet-handling equipment.

Strapping & Stretch Wrapping

Assess downstream load protection according to stability and transport requirements. Confirm compatible equipment and transfer arrangements.

Controls, Access & Commissioning

Define equipment signals, restart procedures, guarding and service access. Review the complete layout and test representative packages.

PALLETIZING SYSTEMS FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a robot arm the same as a complete palletizing system?
No. A complete system may also require a gripper, conveyors, pallet stations, controls and safeguarding. Confirm what is included in the proposed scope.
Can one system handle different package sizes?
This depends on the gripper, working range and control configuration. Provide all package formats and weights to assess adjustments, tooling changes and stacking recipes.
How is the required payload calculated?
Assess the combined weight of the end-of-arm tooling and the products handled in each pick. Reach, movement and the proposed cycle must also be reviewed for the selected equipment.
Can it palletize bags as well as cartons?
Bag handling may require different gripping and support arrangements. Filled-bag shape, material and weight affect suitability; assess actual samples and stacking stability.
Can stacking patterns and pallet sizes be changed?
Supported changes depend on the controls, tooling and working area. Specify all pallet formats, layer patterns and stack heights before equipment selection.
Are pallet dispensing, strapping and wrapping included?
Only where specified in the configuration. Confirm pallet supply, sheet placement, finished-load discharge and downstream protection equipment individually.
What information should I send for selection?
Share filled-package samples and dimensions, weights, pallet specifications, stacking patterns, target output, line layout and required automation scope.
