Product Overview
The glass bottle depalletizer serves as the front-end equipment of fully automatic glass bottling workshops. It automatically separates and transports empty glass bottles from stacked pallets to the conveyor system, replacing heavy manual bottle handling. Suitable for glass bottles used in juice, carbonated drinks, wine, mineral water and other liquid products. The machine works cooperatively with bottle rinsers, filling machines, capping machines and labeling equipment to realize continuous automated bottling production.
● Advanced Automatic Control: The machine adopts integrated PLC centralized control system paired with a human-machine interface, realizing full-range control over all depalletizing procedures. The operation console supports both Chinese and English display options.
● Easy Operation: The PLC system automatically adjusts production speed to keep the depalletizer running in sync with the entire bottling line.
● Innovative Structure Design: Boasting a rational and simplified mechanical structure, the machine is equipped with advanced and stable pneumatic and electric assemblies. It integrates the high efficiency and stability of high-position depalletizers as well as the space-saving advantage and convenient operability of low-position depalletizers.
● Reliable Performance with Full Safety Protection: Built-in safety protection mechanisms are equipped throughout the machine. If operators enter the working area, the equipment will stop automatically to avoid personal safety accidents.

Working Principle
1. A forklift places the full pallet stacked with empty glass bottles onto the infeed platform. The pallet is then conveyed by chain conveyors to the unwrapping station. At this station, operators remove strapping bands and stretch film wrapped around the bottle stack. Afterwards, the unwrapped pallet of bottles is transported to the base platform.
2. The lifting mechanism of the main machine raises the bottle stack on the base platform to the preset height via the lifting table. Separators between bottle layers are then pulled out. Next, the bottle discharging mechanism clamps and lifts the glass bottles. Driven by the motor, the whole discharging assembly moves horizontally toward the bottle conveying platform.
3. The clamping unit releases the bottles and places them onto the conveying platform. The unloaded glass bottles are forwarded by slat conveyors to the downstream process.
4. After one layer of bottles is completely discharged, the lifting mechanism rises by one layer height according to preset parameters to unload the next layer. This cycle repeats until all bottles on the pallet are fully depalletized.
5. Once all bottles are unloaded, the lifting mechanism lowers the empty pallet back to the base platform. Chain conveyors transfer the empty pallet to the empty pallet collecting station. Meanwhile, the base platform gets ready to receive a new bottle stack from the unwrapping station. Finally, forklifts remove the empty pallets from the collecting area.
Equipment Composition
Bottle Stack Conveyor
It buffers and transports bottle stacks. Equipped with two sets of double-row conveyor chains, the station can accommodate two bottle stacks to guarantee continuous production feeding.
Main Depalletizing Unit
Carries out layer-by-layer bottle unloading. The lifting action is driven by domestic motors to ensure reliable vertical movement.
Empty Pallet Conveyor
Used to discharge empty pallets. It supports automatic output and centralized collection of empty pallets after all bottles are unloaded.
Separator Storage Station
Interlayer separators are collected and placed neatly by the separator transfer mechanism.
