Layer palletising

Layer Palletising

As part of L-A-C’s comprehensive Robotic and Automation offering, Layer Palletising systems can be configured and customised to best fit specific applications and can be delivered as a pure robotic system or as one of a standard range of layer palletising machines. In both cases solutions are designed to automate the process of stacking entire layers of products onto pallets. Ideally suited to industries with high-volume, uniform products such as in the food and beverage sector, layer palletising robots enable efficient loading and unloading of goods with speed and precision.

Modern Layer Former Palletiser designs incorporate highly adaptable robot palletiser arms and precision-engineered robot grippers that ensure uniform stacking and secure layer formation. These systems are capable of handling a broad range of product shapes and packaging materials, making them ideal for demanding industrial environments. Supported by advanced layer centering devices, the process maintains alignment accuracy, guaranteeing that each completed layer is positioned perfectly before being transferred to the pallet. Together, these technologies provide a faster, safer, and more reliable solution for large-scale operations requiring high productivity and reduced downtime.

Optimal Efficiency for High-Volume Operations

These highly versatile systems enhance throughput and remove the need for the workforce to engage in repetitive manual tasks, contributing to overall efficiency within warehouses, production facilities, and distribution centres.

 

L-A-C Logistics Automation has a long and enviable reputation for designing and integrating robotic technology, and through its strong partnership with layer palletising specialists, InterSystem, remains at the forefront of innovation to provide industry-leading technology solutions for today’s logistics challenges.

Each installation can also include integrated outfeed conveyors, layer card applicators, and layer card load positions, ensuring smooth transitions between stacking stages and downstream packaging areas. By automating the full sequence, from product buffering to completed pallet transfer, L-A-C systems achieve exceptional consistency and repeatability. Whether configured as robotic solutions or gantry robots, these machines provide the structural rigidity and motion control required for precise layer formation in high-speed environments such as beverage bottling, dairy, and packaged goods production.

Benefits of Integrating Layer Palletising Systems:


High Throughput

Stack multiple layers of products onto pallets rapidly, significantly increasing throughput compared to manual palletising.

Space Optimisation

Maximise pallet space utilisation by arranging products in pre-defined patterns, allowing for efficient storage and transportation of goods.

Reduced Labour Costs

Eliminate the need for manual labour reducing costs, and minimise the risk of injuries associated with repetitive, manual tasks.

Flexibility

Scope to handle a wide range of products and pallet configurations offers flexibility to adapt to changing production or distribution requirements.

Consistent Quality

Ensure consistent stacking patterns and precise placement of products using advanced vision systems and software algorithms, reducing errors and minimising the potential for product damage.

For facilities requiring both loading and unloading flexibility, L-A-C also integrates layer de-palletisers to complement the palletising process. These systems enable efficient product removal, inspection, and re-entry into production or distribution flows. When combined with robot palletiser arms, advanced robot grippers, and optimised outfeed conveyors, this dual-function setup supports full circular logistics, where pallets are continuously loaded, unloaded, and recycled with minimal operator input.

To enhance precision and quality, InterSystem’s equipment can incorporate layer centering devices that ensure every product layer is perfectly aligned prior to stacking. Optional layer card applicators automatically insert stabilising sheets between layers, improving load integrity for fragile or irregular products. When used in conjunction with L-A-C’s robotics expertise and Layer Former Palletiser solutions, these additions create a robust automation setup capable of meeting the most stringent industry requirements.
