Pallet Handling Devices
The ACS Electric Pallet Handler is a self-contained fully automated device that is typically used to de-stack pallets at palletizing stations but can also be adapted for up-stacking pallets as well.
Designed to be mounted above the infeed/outfeed conveyor, the Electric Pallet Handler can be used for wooden, plastic, or composite pallets and can be used with existing or new ACS conveyors as well as with all competitor’s
conveyors.The steel forks can be manually adjusted to accommodate different width pallets ranging from 24” Wide x 36” Long (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) to 48” Wide x 84” Long (121.9 cm x 213.4 cm).
Capable of handling pallets ranging from 24” Wide x 36” Long (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) to 48” Wide x 84” Long (121.9 cm x 213.4 cm) and from 4” to 6” (10.16 cm to 15.24 cm) high.
Lifting mechanism utilizes a 2HP brake motor. Maximum lifted load capacity of 1,000 lbs. (453.6 kg).
A 1HP brake motor powers the fork carriage extend/retract function
All drive components are contained within the cabinet limiting access to
moving and/or rotating parts.The Electric Pallet Handler can be operated manually or integrated into an
automatic conveyor system. A control console is provided for safety functions, manual operation, and selection of automatic modes of control.
The ACS Offset Electric Pallet Handler is a self-contained fully automated device typically used to de-stack pallets at palletizing stations but can also be adapted for up-stacking pallets as well. Its smaller size makes it an alternative to the standard ACS Electric Pallet Handler.
Designed to be mounted above the infeed/outfeed conveyor, the Offset Electric Pallet Handler can be used for wooden, plastic, or composite pallets ranging from 24” Wide x 36” Long (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) to 48” Wide x 84” Long (121.9 cm x 213.4 cm) and from 4” to 6” (10.16 cm to 15.24 cm) high and can be used with existing or new ACS conveyors as well as with all competitor’s conveyors.
The steel forks can be manually adjusted to accommodate different width pallets from 12” (30.38cm) to 30” (190.5 cm) on-center and can extend up to 52” (76.2cm) from the enclosure.
Lifting mechanism utilizes a 2HP brake motor. Maximum lifted load capacity of 1,000 lbs. (453.6 kg).
A 1HP brake motor powers the fork carriage extend/retract function.
All drive components are contained within the cabinet limiting access to
moving and/or rotating parts.The Offset Electric Pallet Handler can be operated manually or integrated into
an automatic conveyor system. A control console is provided for selection of manual or automatic modes of operation.
Drag Chain Conveyors are designed to convey empty pallets or loads using electrically powered heavy-duty, load-carrying roller chains.
There are two configurations of ACS Drag Chain Conveyor, Dual Strand and Multi Strand, typically used in combination to support ACS Pallet Handlers and as pallet dispensing / pickup point preceding a Load Palletizing Device.
Multi-Strand Drag Chain Conveyor sections are engineered to carry up to 1,800 lb. (816 kg) unit loads across four chains. Dual Strand Drag Chain Conveyor: 900 lbs. (408 kg) across two chains.
Applications may also include storage lines and transport lines. A typical use is as pallet dispensing / pickup point preceding a Load Palletizing Device.
Power train is contained inside the conveyor frame to help avoid the possibility of accidental damage or personal injury.
Drag Chain Conveyor can be used with existing or new ACS conveyors and all competitors’ conveyors.
- The Gantry Mounted Pallet Delivery system is a popular method for moving pallets to the ACS Load Palletizing Device.
- A pneumatically operated Pallet Transport Head is suspended beneath a motorized Carriage operating on an elevated Gantry. The Transport Head is capable of delivering various size pallets based off data entered at the operator console such as pallet size, line number, etc.
- From the operator console that integrates the Gantry Mounted Pallet Delivery system with the Load Palletizing Device, the operator can operate the entire system in Automatic, Manual, or when necessary, Bypass mode. Bypass mode allows unit loads to proceed through the Load Palletizing Device without insertion of pallets.
A Load Palletizing Device centers and lifts an incoming load and then inserts a pallet directly beneath the load.
Pallet Center Device, Pusher Device, Fork Lift Assemblies and Thru Conveyor are all combined into one unit to maximize automation.
The Load Palletizing Device can be situated either before or after a Strapping and/or Wrapping Zone.
Pallets can be supplied manually, by fork truck or with an automated pallet delivery device such as QuickPal.
A Load Palletizing Device can be operated manually or integrated into an automatic conveyor system. A control console is provided for safety functions, manual operation, troubleshooting and selection of automatic modes of operation.
- The Inline Load Palletizing Device utilizes multiple specialized conveyor modules and can be programmed to handle multiple sizes pallets and loads from the operator control console.
- Two pallet lines adjoin from opposite sides of the Pallet Infeed Pusher accommodating multiple sizes pallets.
- The elevated “Humpback” design cross-over conveyor section transitions the loads above the pallet infeed for accurate placement onto pallets at the exit end of this section.
- An Air Bag Stedi-Stak conveyor section is positioned at the outfeed end of the “Humpback” section. When in the lowered position, pallets travel along the Infeed Stedi-Stak conveyor synchronized beneath the approaching load. The infeed end of this section can be raised to the top-of-belt height of the “Humpback” section whenever loads are not to be palletized.
- Pallet Strippers separate pallets from their loads without damaging bottom sheets and deliver empty pallets to pallet stacking zone.
- A PLR conveyor moves the palletized load into position. The pusher head raises and transfers the load onto a discharge conveyor which is set approximately 5" (127mm) higher than the standard 12" (305mm) top of roller. PLR conveyor then moves the empty pallet into the pallet stacking zone.
- Pusher head with replaceable flexible bottom strip can be adjusted to exact pallet height to eliminate sheet waste.
- Pallet Strippers can be operated manually or integrated into an automatic conveyor system. A control console is provided for safety functions, manual operation and selection of automatic modes of operation.
