Sweep-off layer depalletizer

for cans

Cans, both standard and lightweight, are a popular packaging solution in many industries because of their versatility and advantages: they offer long shelf life by effectively protecting against light, air and moisture. Without the use of preservatives, the contents remain fresh thanks to sterilization and sealing. Unlike glass, beverage cans are impact and pressure resistant and 100% recyclable. They can be used for a wide range of applications, from food to cosmetics. AUTEFA Solutions supplies complete lines for bottling plants such as dairies, soft drinks, mixed drinks or other liquid products - from material reception to fully automatic storage systems with integrated dispatch preparation. Depending on the requirements, multi-axis high-performance machines are used for depalletizing, packaging, palletizing or stacking. Fully automatically adjustable gripper heads and feeders streamline the process by significantly reducing setup times. In the case of customer-specific requirements or special space conditions, the machine is adapted to provide an optimum solution for the application in question. The optimal filling line for cans starts with the AUTEFA depalletizer. The AUTEFA depalletizer can process trays, flat intermediate layers or cardboard lids. Alternatively, the cans can be removed layer by layer from the pallet by means of the VacuGrip specially developed and patented by AUTEFA. The empty pallets are also stacked with the vacuum layer gripper head. The flow of cans is separated and fed to the downstream unit in a single lane by a can conveyor system optimized for accumulation pressure.
