What are the main differences between industrial, collaborative and conventional palletisers?

The main differences between industrial, collaborative and conventional palletisers are that industrial palletisers are optimised for high speed and precision when handling heavy materials, collaborative palletisers are designed to work with human workers and offer flexibility and cost-effectiveness, while conventional palletisers rely on mechanical pushers and overhead gantries to arrange products in specific patterns, which is ideal for industries where precision in stacking patterns is a priority.

How can I determine which type of palletiser is best suited to my specific business needs and environment?

Determining the most suitable type of palletiser for a specific company depends on several factors, including the nature of the products to be stacked, the desired speed and precision of the palletising process, the space available in the factory or warehouse, and the budget for automation.

Are there specific industries or applications in which each type of palletiser performs best?

Each type of palletiser performs better in certain industries or applications. Industrial palletisers are ideal for industries with high throughput and heavy materials, such as food processing and manufacturing. Collaborative palletisers are suitable for businesses where flexibility and cooperation between humans and robots are important, such as smaller manufacturing plants, warehouses and distribution centres. Conventional palletisers are suitable for industries requiring precision in stacking patterns, such as bags, bulk items and products with complex stacking configurations.
