Essential Palletizer
Line Series

Increase efficiency, enhance productivity, and improve throughput with our robotic palletizers and depalletizers. Designed for our customer’s desired speed, service life, payload, reach, repeatability, and affordability, our palletizing and depalletizing automation systems can be integrated for any application. Simplimatic’s Essential Palletizer Line feature four different, highly cost-effective, and compact palletizers and depalletizers.

Continous Flow Case Elevator

The Simplimatic® Continuous Flow Case Elevator/Lowerator provides a means of raising or lowering heavy or large payloads between conveyors at different elevations.

The Continuous Flow Elevator is a great choice if floor space or budgets do not allow for the installation of a traditional Simplimatic Spiral Elevator or other spiral conveyor systems.

Due to its relatively high speed, large payload capacity, and full-bottom support of the product, the Continuous Flow Elevator is commonly used to convey food and beverage cases, bagged products, trays, totes, and other goods with a similar form factor.

Continuous Flow Elevators will free up floor space in case palletizing lines, logistics, and warehousing, or in work-in-process storage applications by transferring product to an overhead conveyor section. Elevators are also a great way to create aisleways, clearance for forklifts, or transfer products between floors.

Case Conveying

Simplimatic’s motorized-roller conveyor sets the standard in material handling flexibility. Its key is the use of a motorized roller that power each zone or segment of the conveyor. A truly modular system that can be completely customized to meet your current requirements and can be easily reconfigured to address your future needs. The unique CRUZ frame design, with rollers, mounted low, provides total protection for the electronic components that are pre-mounted and pre-wired. An optional conveyor shroud encloses the frame and provides additional protection for the electrical components. This case conveyor gives the highest level of versatility and has features that contribute to a quieter, more easily maintained system.

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Integration

Simplimatic can alleviate the challenges associated with the variety of diverse control platforms available, it can be difficult to collect production-related data while ensuring systems are compliant and efficient. Simplimatic can implement manufacturing execution systems (MES) across an array of control platforms and industries. We can integrate these platforms into a seamless system ensuring to meet customer requirements.

Our engineers have the experience and expertise to help customers transfer manufacturing information, in a timely fashion, from their facility floor to their offices to make informed decisions.

Benefits of MES integration:

• Process and process control analysis
• Instrument, controls and equipment safety analysis
• Reduce waste
• Cost analysis for budgeting
• Lead management of change, involving the customer’s engineers, operators, maintenance team and line owners and get their input
• Shop floor data control and retention for data integrity and loss prevention
• System data security protection
• Manufacturing operations traceability
• Decrease downtime
• Decrease overhead cost
• Compliance for regulated industries
• Provide outcomes to secure data quality and integrity on the shop floor

Pallet Transfer Shuttle Cars

Pallet Shuttle Cars are used in conjunction with conveying equipment. A typical application utilizes a conveyor deck that is attached to a traveling or mobile base. Transfer cars can be operated with a motor-driven drive, pneumatic indexing base, automatically under the control of a PLC, or used in a hand-push application and/or lean manufacturing operations. They travel in a straight line along a floor track. Tracks can be mounted above or in the floor, as needed for each application. Conveyor top configurations, electrification, controls, and devices are optional items available for transfer cars.

Automated Pallet Stacking & Destacking

Simplimatic pallet stackers and destackers can minimize the risk of back injuries and strain from manually loading or unloading pallets. Automating the process provides greater efficiencies in production. These units can be used to dispense or accumulate various sized pallets and are industrial strength, designed for continuous use.

Pallet Conveyor Systems

Simplimatic’s pallet conveyor systems consist of a chain-driven live roller (CDLR), zero pressure accumulation conveyor, drag chain conveyor, and gravity roller conveyor. We also integrate lift and rotate conveyors, pallet dispensers, turntables, chain transfers, and transfer cars. Starting with core components, we have virtually limitless enhancements to provide maximum application adaptability and flexibility. Consequently, we provide on-time deliveries, affordable solutions, and superior quality.

Simplimatic pallet conveyors come standard with 1.9″, 2-1/2″, 2-9/16″, 3-1/2″ diameter rollers or larger if needed. Standard lengths come in nominal 5 and 10-foot sections with standard effective widths ranging from 12″ to 60″. Typical conveyor speeds are 30, 45, or 60 FPM. Our pallet conveyors come standard with heavy-duty channel supports which provide additional ruggedness in demanding applications.

Automated Case & Pallet Labeling

Whether you are labeling directly to boxes or pallets, we have a solution for labeling needs. Automating the labeling of products is the best way to error-proof and customize your end-of-line process.

Simplimatic’s reputation for system integration is an advantage in product labeling applications. Many applications require some form of integration, whether that is software integration, material handling integration or both.

Depending on your throughput rates, Simplimatic offers different size body units.  From compact Mini printer applicators, ideal for low volume applications or space restricted applications, to standard printer applicators, perfect for high volume and long label applications.

Labels can include descriptive and traceability information:

• Case/Product Weight – Requires an inline scale that weighs the product as it passes.
• Production Time – Time is captured and placed on the label for tracking.
• Product Description – Product description can be pulled directly from your product database and placed on the label.
• Case/Lot Number– For order fulfillment, case number can be included – for example case 6 out of 50.
• Lot Date – Can be order date or date of fulfillment.
• Order Number

Robotic Depalletizing Automation Systems

Simplimatic Robotic Depalletizing Systems are designed to unload single or multiple pallets simultaneously. Simplimatic supplies depalletizers in both conventional multi-axis as well as force-limiting collaborative varieties with payloads available ranging from .5 kg up to 700 kg depending on project need. All Simplimatic robotic depalletizers are available with custom recipes to allow a single cell to handle multiple SKUs with variable stacking patterns.

Both off-the-shelf and custom end-effectors such as vacuum cup grippers, pneumatically controlled grippers, and servo-driven grippers are available to customers depending on product type and pallet loading preference. This large variety of custom tooling paired with sensitive sensors allows for the precise handling of products ranging from pliable toilet paper to heavy boxes of medical devices or computer products.

Simplimatic robotic systems are easily integrated with new or existing material handling lines and other production setups.
