Packstation
For Manual Mixed Palletizing
The Unitech Packstation combines ergonomic case handling, state-of-the art stretch wrapping technology and automatic pallet handling to streamline the stacking of pallets with mixed product/packaging in distribution centers.
The Unitech Packstation represents an innovative breakthrough in manual palletizing of mixed packages and is revolutionizing the way warehouses approach palletizing and delivery to stores.
Packstation is flexible, fast and modular. We offer 3 versions of Packstation: for pallets, for roll containers (roll cages) and a combined version, with different configurations depending on the product/pallet flow.
How It Works
Package Arrival and Stacking
Mixed cases arrive on a product conveyor at the Packstation. Cases are manually picked and placed in the correct position on the pallet. When a mixed layer is completed, the operator presses a button for lowering the pallet so the next layer of mixed products can be stacked.
Pallet Change and Wrapping
When the pallet is ready, the operator presses a button and the complete mixed pallet descends onto the wrapper. A new empty pallet is inserted into the stacking tube so the operator can continue stacking during the pallet change.
Conveying Systems and Empty Pallet Management
The full pallet is then transported to the outfeed position for the forklift to pick up. Empty pallets are loaded in stacks at ground level on the infeed conveyor. The empty pallet de-stacking system ("spider") picks one pallet at a time and feeds it to the waiting position, so that when a full pallet is completed the exchange takes place.
