BEUMER paletpac 2500 layer palletiser

BEUMER has re-engineered its high-capacity layer palletiser, the BEUMER paletpac. In re-engineering the paletpac 2500, the company has exchanged the lifting frame for four chains with a counterweight, reducing the machine’s weight and minimising the energy required for the lifting movement.

The pallet is now pulled up by the chains. Previously, a large hoist drive was needed for the system; the re-engineered model has a mall motor operating as a servo drive. According to the company, this results in further weight reduction, less maintenance and lower costs for the user.

The frame of the palletiser head has been downsized, saving on material costs and providing better access to the machine. The external frame elements can be folded, meaning the whole palletiser head fits into one transport container. The palletiser head does not need to be dismounted, reducing transportation costs and shortening the assembly period.

BEUMER engineers have modified the guides for the pallet side plate, introduced a lateral guide system, changed the drive performance and decreased the system width. Users can quickly and easily adapt the palletiser to different pallet sizes without the use of tools.

The paletpac palletises bags up to a pack height of 2400 mm, in all technically possible packing patterns and on any commonly used pallet size, including intermediate sizes such as 1400 x 1200 mm.

A multiprogram enables the user to set parameters easily and quickly. The paletpac can also be supplied with a bar-type turning device or with a newly developed twin-belt turning device to position the filled bags quickly, ensuring their dimensional stability.

The paletpac can palletise paper, polyethylene and polypropylene bags at a rate of up to 2500 bags/h.
