Depalletizers for fruit and vegetable processing plants

Streamline your fruit and vegetable processing with high-speed depalletization, effortlessly transferring and stacking crates, cartons, and trays to minimize handling time and enhance operational efficiency.

The UNI DEP 200 from Unitec Group is a robust solution designed for automated depalletization in fruit and vegetable processing plants. Specifically engineered to handle the complexity of unloading and stacking crates, the system features a self-centering gripper that ensures a secure hold on various packaging including cardboard boxes, wooden crates, and plastic trays.
