Storage and Controlled Dispensing of Empty Pallets
An automatic pallet dispenser, also known as a pallet magazine, holds an orderly supply of empty pallets and makes them available individually to the palletizing cell or conveyor system.
Depending on the process, the system can also receive individual pallets and progressively rebuild the stack. In either mode, stacking and destacking must take place without deforming the pallet or disrupting transfers to the connected conveyors.
Pallet Availability and Replenishment
The pallet magazine must supply an empty pallet whenever the palletizing cell requests one, without interrupting the palletizing cycle.
The system checks that a stack is present, separates a single pallet and places it on the outfeed deck. Where included in the configuration, it can signal the minimum stock level and request replenishment.
Replenishment can be carried out by forklift or integrated into the plant’s automated logistics. Loading space and methods are defined to avoid interfering with pallet discharge to the line.
A Pallet Magazine Sized for Your Production Requirements
SAIEM designs and manufactures custom pallet magazines, with stack capacity, pallet separation and discharge configured to match pallet dimensions and the line’s pallet demand.
The system is coordinated with roller conveyors, chain conveyors and the palletizing cell to make each pallet available at the point required by the cycle.
The magazine can be added to an existing end-of-line system, adapting to the available space and installed conveyors, or designed alongside the pallet feeding system for a new installation. Complete the form to request a consultation:
