The Modulpal 1 ADR is a new palletiser for the high speed range, with an output of up to 600 layers an hour, comprising sturdy, field-proven components from the Krones Modulpal single-column modularised design. For the first time, this machine enables very high outputs to be achieved on a single pallet loading position. Supplied by a grouping system, the Modulpal 1 ADR palletiser, featuring two lifting units and two gripper heads, deposits the packs on a single pallet position. Hitherto, a double-position palletiser had always been used for this kind of speed range.The entirely innovative concept also enables this high output to be achieved with a low-level pack infeed, significantly facilitating access for the operator and rendering platforms superfluous. The interpack will mark the world premiere of the Modulpal 1 ADR. The packs can be grouped using the newly developed Robobox grouping system or one of its conventional counterparts.
