Depalletizers from Lone Star Automated Systems, Inc.

Bulk Depalletizers are designed to handle empty round or non-round PET bottles, cans, or glass containers at high rates. Conventional depalletizers use a heavy duty hoist to index the load up as each layer is swept off onto an accumulation bed designed to a required length. Automatic dunnage removal is provided with grippers that are typically pneumatically operated for chipboard removal and stacking.

Product pre-squaring prior to entering the hoist insures the containers are within the sweep area prior to the sweep cycle. Pneumatically operated, pivoting side walls and entry doors are standard on most machines. Adjustments are usually available to run various products on the same machine.

A stripper-mechanism is required for non-round containers that strip a row from each layer onto the take-away conveyor-(usually cable or air conveyor).

An empty pallet stacker and pallet conveyor finalize the process.
