Gantry Palletizer
This automatic palletizer precisely arranges and multi-layer stacks cartons and film-wrapped products onto standard pallets following preset stacking patterns. Once palletizing is completed, full pallets are automatically discharged to designated areas for forklift handling and warehouse storage. It effectively minimizes manual handling labor, stabilizes continuous production cycles, greatly improves packaging efficiency, and significantly reduces overall production and labor costs.

Product Overview
This automatic low-level gantry palletizer is specially designed for end-of-line palletizing of finished film-wrapped packs and cartoned products. It automatically arranges multi-layer product stacks on standard pallets according to preset stacking patterns and outputs fully stacked pallets steadily for forklift transportation and warehouse storage.
Adopting mature PLC + touch screen intelligent control system, the machine supports visualized, simple and programmable operation. It eliminates repetitive manual stacking work, drastically cuts on-site labor demand and reduces working intensity, serving as an essential intelligent device for automated packaging production lines in food, beverage and daily chemical industries.
● Intelligent Touch Screen Operation: Human-machine interactive interface displays real-time production speed, running status and fault codes with accurate fault location. All stacking layer quantities, sorting modes, pallet feeding and discharging actions are programmable via PLC for one-click parameter switching.
● High-Quality Pneumatic Configuration: Adopts premium Airtac pneumatic components and cylinders from Taiwan, featuring stable performance, low failure rate and long-term reliable continuous operation.
● Full Safety Protection Design: Equipped with electric induction safety doors and protective covers. The machine automatically stops running once the protective door is opened, effectively protecting operator safety and meeting industrial safety production standards.
● Flexible Stacking Mode Adjustment: Support fast switching of various stacking layouts directly on the touch screen without replacing mechanical accessories, realizing multi-product compatible palletizing.
● Stable & High-Efficiency Operation: Consistent stacking accuracy and smooth cycle operation, effectively replacing manual stacking and saving massive labor costs.
● Precise Conveying Control: The product supply system adopts brake motor control to ensure accurate positioning and stable conveying of film packages and cartons.
● Large-Capacity Pallet Magazine: The pallet storage station can hold 10–15 empty pallets at a time, supporting long-term automatic feeding and reducing manual intervention frequency.

Machine Structure
The whole machine adopts modular integrated design, consisting of four core functional modules to realize fully automatic continuous palletizing workflow:
Film Package Input & Sorting Device: Responsible for automatic conveying, steering, positioning and ordered arrangement of incoming film-wrapped products to form standard palletizing layers.
Lifting & Palletizing Unit: Completes automatic lifting, forward positioning and precise stacking of sorted product layers on empty pallets.
Pallet Stacking & Automatic Feeding Device: Stores empty pallets centrally and feeds pallets automatically according to system programs without manual frequent supplementation.
Full Pallet Discharging Device: Automatically outputs fully stacked pallets and conveys them to the designated area for subsequent handling and storage.
Working Process
1. Film Package Input & Automatic Sorting System
The film package conveying device stably transports incoming finished packs. According to preset stacking layouts, the system automatically steers and conveys products to complete neat sorting and positioning. Equipped with high-precision cylinder pushing mechanism, the sorting device pushes the first row of sorted products into the lifting station, then sequentially pushes the second and third rows to form a complete standard palletizing layer, ensuring uniform and orderly product arrangement.
2. Automatic Lifting & Palletizing Unit
After one complete product layer is formed, the frequency-conversion controlled lifting platform carries the whole product layer to rise and move forward to the palletizing working position. It accurately lands and places the product layer on the empty pallet or the stacked lower layer steadily. The whole lifting, lowering and forward/backward traversing actions are driven by frequency conversion motors and high-stability chain transmission systems, featuring smooth operation and high positioning accuracy.
3. Automatic Pallet Storage, Feeding & Discharging System
Pallet Automatic Feeding Structure: The built-in pallet magazine can store 10–12 empty pallets at one time. Driven by an independent dedicated motor, it automatically supplies empty pallets to the palletizing station according to program settings, realizing unattended pallet feeding.
Full Pallet Output Structure: Once the pallet reaches the preset stacking layers, the system automatically triggers the discharging signal. The full pallet is pushed out of the palletizing area and transmitted to the designated station via the discharging conveyor for forklift handling and warehouse storage.
