Conveying and palleting of packaged hygienic paper towels

Task

To set up a new state-of-the art production plant after the old one was destroyed by fire. After the sales items are packed in cardboard boxes, they must be conveyed, palleted and stored.

Solution

From the packing machines, the cardboard boxes are transported to the palleting robots by means of conveyer systems:
Each of the 7 robots processes 2 production lines. The palleting robots are designed to process a total of 54 different product sizes and 54 different types of boxes for palleting. Up to 5 boxes are processed per minute per production line.

Scope of supply

• 7x articulated-arm robots
• 14 cardboard box conveyor lines
• 1 pallet conveyor system
• System control

Result

This new construction was a wonderful opportunity to achieve the greatest possible rationalisation. At the same time, the plant’s modern layout included a lot of natural light and short distances between the individual production units. The technology is designed for 24 hour production.
