The Single Column robot palletizer represents the simplest and most compact model available in the industry.  The single-column robot palletizer can handle bags containing stable, aerated or powdery products, permitting partial overlapping of the bags in the layer along both the top and sides, offering flexible format changes. Its extreme simplicity makes it possible to palletize even on pallets sitting directly on the floor. 

The machine features a sturdy rotating column with a rigid horizontal arm connected to it that can slide vertically along the column. The horizontal arm has a bag pick-up pincer mounted on it that slides horizontally, rotating around its vertical axis.  The machine takes the bags one at a time from the roller conveyor on which they arrive and places them at the point assigned by the program.  The horizontal arm descends to the necessary height so that the pincer can pick up the bags from the bag infeed roller conveyor and then it ascends to permit free rotation of the main column.  The pincer traverses along the arm and rotates around its axis to place the bag in the position assigned by the programmed palletizing pattern. The arm is positioned at the required height and the pincer opens to place the bag on the pallet being formed.  At this point, the machine returns to the starting point and is ready for a new cycle.

At the end of this operation, the mobile frame is raised until it reaches the height of the pallet being formed, above which the layer is transferred when the trapdoors close. It is centered as it is compacted on all four sides.  At this point, the trapdoors open and unload the layer onto the pallet being formed. The frame then descends to the reference height of the row-formation roller conveyor to continue with a new cycle.  Once the pallet has been loaded, it is removed via specific roller conveyors.

The smooth operation of the machine cycle is supervised by the PLC. The different palletizing patterns for various formats are obtained through the programs preset in memory.  Format-change operations are completed quickly without needing any operator intervention or tools!

The low-level push-type palletizer comes complete with an automatic empty-pallet magazine and a full-pallet evacuation and parking roller conveyor.
