Schneider Packaging Debuts High Level Robotic Palletizers Bringing Portability to Bag and Case Palletizing


At Pack Expo, Las Vegas Convention Center, October 5-7, Booth C-2019

LAS VEGAS, NV (October 5-7, 2009)- Schneider Packaging Equipment Co., Inc., specializing in end-of-line solutions for case packing and palletizing needs, introduces the newest palletizing innovations with the HL palletizer, on display at Pack Expo, Las Vegas Convention Center,
Booth C-2019.

Ideal for palletizing heavier products that require taller unit loads, such as pet food products, flour and grains, wood pellets, or heavy industrial cases weighing up to 80 pounds, the HL palletizes at rates up to 45 products per minute, depending on the combination of product weight and size. Using an integrated FANUC M710 or M20 robotic arm for highly efficient and reliable palletizing, the HL robotic palletizer builds highly stable unit loads in almost any pattern such as interlocked, brick, spiral, column or other configurations that ease transport.

"Engineering advancements and the continuing need to reduce floor space inspired Schneider's design of a high-level robotic palletizing option for heavy bag and case products," says Terry Zarnowski, director of marketing and sales.

Product travels on a ribbed infeed conveyor to the top of the palletizer where one or multiple products are picked by the robot and placed in the appropriate pallet pattern. As each layer is completed, the pallet indexes down one layer and the cycle repeats until the unit load is completed. This method reduces the amount of motion required by the robot to perform palletizing, maximizing speed, efficiency and performance to provide the maximum cell efficiency, cost and labor savings.

The HL robotic palletizer is available as a dual station 1-in-2-out palletizing system or as a single station 1-in-1-out palletizing system which can be fully automated with pallet transport conveyor, pallet dispensing, and slip sheet dispensing for a complete solution.

Schneider manufactures a complete line of case packers, tray packers, and robotic palletizing systems. Schneider also offers a variety of ancillary equipment such as case erectors, cartoners, conveyors, pallet dispensers, shuttle cars, automatic guided carts, and elevators that can easily be integrated with coding/labeling equipment, RFID / barcode scanners, weight checking, and stretch or shrink wrapping equipment to provide a complete turnkey system solution. Some of their specialty markets include the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, paper, replication, industrial, and personal care industries.

Whatever the requirements, Schneider works to provide the best solution for any unique need. Schneider Packaging is an Authorized System Integrator for FANUC Robotics and is a Machine Builder partner in the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork(TM) program.
