Cermex Pal-Pack 3300 single-line palletiser

The Pal-Pack 3300 is a new addition to Cermex’s single-line, layer-by-layer palletising technology. It is suitable for palletising wines, spirits, soft drinks, beers, etc, in formats ranging from shrink-wrapped packs to cardboard containers.

It offers a reduced footprint for low-speed packaging lines and requires minimal training to operate. According to the company, its servo-motors reduce maintenance.

The system is capable of handling up to 1400 packages and 100 layers per hour. It is compatible with a range of product types and formats, such as corrugated cases, shelf-ready packaging, multipacks and bags in box. It can handle any type of primary packaging and can be programmed to match all pallet formats.

Cermex’s Pal Designer pallet programming software is available as an option, allowing users to change and create new palletising formats. The simple, intuitive user interface allows users to specify the pallet layout, dimensions and operating speed, then run through the whole process using the 3D modelling function.

The machine has a servo-driven electronic spacer system for greater flexibility when changing formats. Rows then layers are formed step by step without any contact between the packs or cases, avoiding any potential damage to the product.

The system’s modular design allows users to tailor the set-up to the constraints of their working environment, picking and choosing from among the machine’s range of compatible modules, including an automatic pallet infeed system and automatic outfeed solutions using conveyors or AGVs.

It can also integrate a pallet stretch-wrapping system and cut out the need for a bulky independent pallet stretch-wrapping machine.
