Cartesian palletizer

robotizedfor the food industryfor production lines

Overview
The efficiency of a modern industrial plant is measured in the final meters of the production line. When production speed increases and product formats diversify, manual palletizing becomes a critical bottleneck and a safety risk for operators. Alutec has developed the Stainless Steel Cartesian Palletizer, a solution combining millimetric precision of industrial automation with the flexibility required by dynamic markets.

Why Choose a Cartesian Palletizer?

• Optimized space usage for compact industrial setups
• Easy programming and integration into existing production lines
• High reliability suitable for Petfood, Food, Pharmaceutical, Mechanical, and Automotive sectors

Applications

• Food & Pharmaceutical: Stainless steel construction ensures hygiene and easy cleaning
• Precision Logistics: Handles loads up to 25 kg with high repeatability
• Mechanical & Automotive: Robust system supports continuous cycles (4–6 pieces per minute)

Technical Features
The heart of the Alutec Cartesian Palletizer adapts to your product, not vice versa:

• Configurable Grippers (EOAT): Suction cups, mechanical grippers, or custom end-of-arm tooling for soft, rigid, or irregular products
• Brushless Motor Technology: Smooth acceleration, millimetric precision, and reduced maintenance
• Space Optimization: Palletizing up to 2 meters high, ideal for international transport optimization

Safety and Compliance
End-of-line automation enhances workplace safety:

• Compliance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
• Integration of light curtains and controlled restart systems
• Reduces repetitive strain injuries and ensures pallet stability during transport
• Allows personnel requalification to process monitoring roles

Tailored Automation
Alutec delivers a modular palletizing system designed to integrate seamlessly into existing plants, including stainless steel frames and roller conveyors with pneumatic centering. Standard commercial warranty: 12-month warranty.
