Options for Pallet Infeed and Outfeed on Sorma PAL Palletising Machines With some modifications, the Sorma PAL palletising machines offer various options for pallet infeed and outfeed. Depending on the desired level of automation and the number of machines, different solutions can be applied.

Shared Pallet Infeed System

These palletising machines have previously operated with a shared pallet infeed system, consisting of a gantry with a crane and a pallet trolley delivering empty pallets to multiple palletisers. This system is only available as an optional feature – see reference number 16252408003 – and only when purchasing a minimum of three palletisers.

The currently offered palletisers do not come with a standard pallet infeed. The outfeed chain conveyor for full pallets is included as standard. However, without a system for feeding in empty pallets, this outfeed conveyor is not usable.

Options for Feeding in Empty Pallets

1.Manual Infeed with Pallet Jack or Forklift

The simplest method: pallets are manually placed or removed using a pallet jack or forklift.

• The chain conveyor is not used or installed in this setup.
• The plate height must be adjusted to a lower position. This can be done by shifting the chain a few teeth on the sprocket.
• No additional components required.

2.Automatic Infeed via Chain or Roller Conveyor An additional powered chain or roller conveyor is placed in front of the existing outfeed conveyor, on the side of the forming plate and turntable.

• Empty pallets are individually placed onto this conveyor.
• The machine automatically feeds in an empty pallet when needed and discharges full pallets.
• Required modifications: additional chain or roller conveyor + electrical system adjustments in the machine.

3. Fully Automatic Destacking with Pallet Magazine An extension of option 2, including a pallet magazine and pallet destacker.

• A stack of empty pallets is placed in the magazine.
• The destacker automatically feeds single pallets onto the conveyor.
• For this option, collaboration with a specialised Sorma partner is recommended.

4.Central Infeed via Pallet Shuttle for Multiple Machines

• Ideal when placing several palletisers in a row
• A pallet shuttle transports empty pallets from a central point to all machines.
• This is the same system previously used with these palletisers.
• Benefit: used components are available, making the investment affordable.

Optional:

• The pallet warehouse with feed shuttle

An automatic palletiser that stacks wood, plastic or cardboard boxes and crates onto pallets. The PAL-108D’s rotating infeed and rollers direct the produce into pre-set configurations for stacking.

After each layer is added, a retractable plate and pneumatic clamps move the next layer into position and lower it into the stacking position.

The PAL-108D can be configured to stack heavy, overweight cartons, unstable boxes and crates, export pallets with differing layer configurations.
