Pallet inspection system

Ensure the stability and integrity of diverse pallets with a high-speed inspection system that minimizes downtime and prevents product damage during transportation, making it indispensable for maintaining efficient and safe operations in high-capacity production environments.

The Innocheck PKS DR Pallet Checker from KHS Group enhances your production line’s efficiency by ensuring only robust pallets proceed. This system employs a pressure-based inspection process to assess the stability and integrity of wooden, plastic, and metal pallets. Suitable for beverage, food, and non-food industries, it integrates seamlessly into continuous, high-speed operations. With the capability to inspect up to 120 pallets or 200 half pallets per hour, it prevents product damage by ejecting defective ones automatically. Offering adaptability with pneumatic plungers or rollers, it suits varied applications without the need for format changeover. The system is energy-efficient, featuring motors that economize power usage, and utilizes H1 lubricants to reduce environmental impact. Optional customization includes a brushing station for enhanced surface readiness, and the system’s robustness is supported by KHS’s engineering expertise and service network.
