Contract Engineers are to begin installing a new automated palletizing system has been specifically developed to enable rapid vacuum handling of heavy cases while enhancing worker safety for a broad range of industries, including the food and beverage processing sector.
Canadian company, StrongPoint Automation, said that its High Capacity Palletizer for RSC cases can replace any palletizer that is currently lacking capacity to handle multiple case sizes or high case weights, and that the system can also be implemented to replace a manual process.
The system can palletize at rates that would normally demand a number of dedicated employees being cycled through the job if it was a manual operation thus cutting costs and with the engineers being outsourced from a leading outsource provider then significant savings are to be had.
The StrongPoint system can easily be placed at the end of an existing line where traditional hand palletizing is taking place, and that its relatively small footprint and flexibility means the palletizer can be fully integrated into the plant environment by the mechanical engineers in as little as 48 hours. The contract engineers are also able to offer both pro active and re active maintenance procedures.
