IMPORATANCE OF PALLETIZING
Palletizer machines have become an essential part of automation, replacing human error and injury in manufacturing with efficiency and speed. In addition to such benefits, palletizers can handle environments that would otherwise be injurious to workers. Instead of requiring the hire of more laborers to do this work, many companies have adopted palletizers into their workplace environments in order to get the job done more quickly, effectively and safely.
WHAT WE DO
Alligator offers two types of automated palletizing. The first type, robotic palletizing, is becoming more popular and more affordable. Likewise traditional, or conventional, palletizers are also widely used including: bag palletizers, case palletizers, and gantry crane palletizers.Our engineers are experts in automating palletizing operations through both robotic and conventional palletizer system. In regards to robotic expertise, we’re an official partner with Fuji and we are skilled with ABB and Fanuc as well. We can provide turnkey solutions, enabling your project to be implemented with a single source of responsibility. This eliminates finger pointing and ensures smoother project implementation.

LAYOUT OPTIONS FOR THE ROBOTIC PALLETIZER
There are many layout options that are available to match your exact specifications. Since we offer a high speed robot, we have the luxury to provide additional options while maintaining an aggressive capacity rate. The below depicts a small sample of the most common layouts.
i)
The product flows below the robot body. This compact layout provides minimum space usage and works well in narrow spaces.
ii)
The product is palletized on two pallet locations. This design allows three pallets to be stacked on the floor on each side. This will minimize changeover time.
iii)
For high-speed applications, we decrease the pallet removal time by using a pallet conveyor to automatically transfer pallets while maintaining nonstop production.
iv)
One pallet magazine delivers empty pallets automatically onto two individual stacking lines simultaneously.
