Layer preparation system for high-speed palletizing
Optimize your palletizing process with a system that ensures precise layer preparation, maintaining product integrity and maximizing efficiency in continuous high-speed operations.
Arranges and Prepares Product Layers
The Layer Preparation System Polaris EVO from GEA seamlessly integrates into your production line, specializing in arranging product layers with precision and efficiency. Employing a SCARA-based robot configuration, this system ensures continuous operation by preparing layers without interruption. The design enables gentle handling, reducing shock and maintaining product integrity. Ideal for industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and packaging, it accommodates various end-products like bottled water, snack foods, and liquid pharmaceuticals. The Polaris EVO handles up to 133 packs per minute with its adjustable pneumatic and motorized gripping heads, offering flexibility for different pack types and sizes. This modular system can be configured for medium to high-speed lines, enhancing production throughput while maintaining a compact footprint. Its PLC-controlled automation supports seamless integration, optimizing the downstream palletizing process. Available in corrosion-resistant materials, Polaris EVO ensures durability in demanding environments, while easy access and lower moving bulk simplify maintenance and operation. With engineering support for customization, the Polaris EVO addresses specific production needs efficiently.
