Depalletizing pallets to tray

From mixed pallets to storage-ready trays

pallet to tray 3d ILLUSTRATION overview

Depalletizing full pallets to trays in a single, fully automated process is complex. Our pallet-to-tray solution solves this by automatically transforming full product layers into singulated, oriented cases ready for storage. 

  • Slip sheet removal: automatically strips interlayer sheets. 
  • Singulation: separates layers into single cases. 
  • Orientation: tilts and turns boxes to match storage requirements. 
  • Flexible loading: loads 1 to 6 cases per tray, or feeds directly to conveyors. 

Whether you need parallel, mixed, or serial loading, the system ensures products are presented perfectly for the next stage.
