Layer preparation system for high-speed palletizing
Industrial processes requiring precise and efficient stacking of products face challenges with consistency and speed. In high-volume settings, ensuring proper layer preparation without product damage is crucial to maintaining efficiency.
Optimize palletizing with modular product handling
The Layer Preparation System Polaris EVO from GEA is designed for efficient and flexible palletizing processes. It uses pack gripping heads to move and rotate products into pre-defined positions, ensuring smooth layer preparation. This system operates continuously without interruptions, optimizing downstream palletizer speed. Its modular design allows for a single unit setup for medium-speed lines or multiple units for high-speed and complex patterns. The SCARA-based configuration offers improved visibility and access while minimizing gravitational effects and inertia, enhancing handling grip speed. Available gripping heads include pneumatic, motorized, and a pending patent design with a plate overtake cycle to maximize uptime and versatility. The Polaris EVO can handle various packs with a production capacity of up to 133 packs per minute with two heads.
