PET bottles are plastic bottles made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a widely used thermoplastic material commonly used for packaging, especially beverage bottles. PET has many advantages: PET bottles are significantly lighter than glass bottles, making them easier to transport and handle, and saving money. They are also strong and unbreakable, making them less likely to be damaged. PET bottles are cheaper to produce than glass bottles, both in terms of material costs and production processes.
Another advantage of PET is that it is 100% recyclable. Many countries have established recycling programs for PET bottles, helping to reduce the environmental footprint.
AUTEFA offers 2-, 3- or 4-axis modular gantry robot systems for palletizing cartons, trays, shrink-wrapped packs and similar packs, efficiently handling single packs, rows or entire layers. It is also possible to palletize individual containers directly on intermediate layers or in large trays, providing a high degree of flexibility in handling different pack formats.
Feeding to the palletizer is either single or multi-lane, depending on the output, to meet the specific requirements of the production environment. Empty pallets and intermediate layers are automatically fed to ensure a continuous workflow. Finally, the pallet is securely fixed with a wrapper, strapper, or shrink hood to ensure stable and safe preparation of the palletized packs for shipping. These fully automated robotic systems provide an efficient solution for accurate and reliable palletizing of a wide variety of pack shapes in industrial production processes.
