SCOPE

We were tasked with designing a system that would eliminate the need for operators to manually build and strap very large and heavy pallets.

The customer had been manually stacking these long and heavy boxes – 8′-10′ long, 32” wide and up to 300 pounds each.  The pallets are typically built as high as 5 boxes by hand and then manually strapped by operators hand fishing 2 straps under over and around the stacks, and then finally, hand sealing the strap.

SOLUTION

SWS designed an infeed conveyor system that ergonomically allowed operators to pack boxes and automatically index them into a stacker system that stacked the heavy boxes to whatever height the operators chose.  Pallets are automatically dispensed and placed under the stack of boxes and the finally palletized product proceeds forward and has 2 straps applied automatically.

ROI

Safety was key for our customer.  Eliminating the need for operators to manually stack heavy loads/pallets, and eliminating the fishing and hand sealing of straps around pallet loads was crucial.  This streamlining of the packing/lifting/stacking/palletizing/strapping has improved throughput by 35%.
