GEA Procomac launched Fluens 2000, a low in-feed, non-robotized palletizer that is capable of continuous operation at a rate of more than eight layers a minute. Using newly patented technology, the Fluens 2000 achieves high productivity with less stress on the key mechanical components, thereby keeping maintenance costs down and reducing the chances of unscheduled downtime. The design also reduces the costs of the conveyor system and maintains a small footprint.

Schneider Packaging Equipment’s Pack/Pal case packer/palletizer is designed for complete case packing and palletizing in minimal floor space or low ceiling environments. Equipped with a FANUC long-arm robot, this integrated case packer/palletizer automatically transfers pallets into position at floor level, eliminating pallet conveying and building full-height pallets. Pallets move out of the system at floor level, where they can be removed by a standard pallet jack or fork truck.
