Safe exchange of palletsDecember 1st 2008
success of Airflow's SR1P pallet inverter within the cold storage industry for exchanging pallets and removing freezer spacers, has led to the release of a version specifically designed for the warehousing and distribution markets.
The Pallex machine enables pallets to be exchanged at floor level with a pallet truck without any lifting of product or pallets. The machine is used to change either damaged pallets or to change pallets from wood to plastic or vice versa, for example, for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Using the Pallex machine, product is only tipped through 90° and is held within a V-shaped section so it always comes off the machine squared up on the pallet. As the load doesn't need clamping there is no risk of crushing delicate items and there is full access to the product at all times to replace any damaged cartons etc. The operation and design of the machine means it doesn't need security fencing.
