Multi-line palletisers

Alvey is a specialist in automatic multi-line palletising systems for all kinds and sizes of products. In a

multi-line concept, several production lines are connected to one or more palletisation machines, which

are usually not placed in the production hall itself. The finished production is transferred automatically to

a place where it awaits palletisation. As soon as enough product is ready to fill a complete pallet, the

system calls up the product, transports it to the (or one of the) palletisers, and takes care of the

palletisation.

This is fully automatic – in consultation with the customer, and in function of the needs of the end-

customer, a large number of parameters can be adjusted accordingly: the type of pallet, the stacking

pattern, separator sheets, wrapping or not, etc. 

Such an installation can be fully PLC-driven. Another, even better possibility, is a combination with our

Maestro+ Software. This software provides an interface with the ERP or other overlying system at the

customer and the installation. In addition to easier and more dynamic control, this software provides a

user-friendly operator interface, better error messaging, and production and maintenance reporting.

The advantages of multi-line palletising are:

 Clear separation between production and logistics

 Cost-effective solution

 Fully automatic operation

 Limited number of operators

 No (or very limited) fork-lift truck movement

 Minimal footprint

 Remote diagnosis and monitoring by the customer and/or Alvey

 Flexible solution, permits addition of production lines and/or palletisation patterns

Our solutions can be implemented under the most demanding conditions, such as:

 Deepfreeze −30 °C

 Demanding products and/or packagings

 Conducting projects in full production and/or under great time pressure
