Columbia Machine
Columbia Machine introduced the FLD2500 Floor Level infeed conventional palletizer, capable of being equipped with a fully integrated stretch wrapper that allows for concurrent “stack and wrap” load building at much higher rates than previously achievable.
Key takeaways:
- The FLD2500 utilizes a dual hoist concept and an electric overhead Row Pusher. The dual hoist format, when combined with a roller style Layer Stripper Apron, allows the footprint to be reduced significantly (40%) over Floor Level palletizers with similar throughput capacity.
- The movement and positioning of each hoist is numerically controlled using servo technology faster and more accurate machine movements.
- The FLD2500 is capable of palletizing virtually any package type including unwrapped trays, film only bundles, plastic totes, RPCs and more.
- Options include fully integrated stretch wrapping, smart diagnostics with video playback to assist maintenance personnel in identifying the cause of a machine stoppage and a servo actuated touchless turning infeed for gentle package handling, display-ready case orienting or 4 way “labels out” layer forming.
