Palletizer for medium to high production capacity

Optimize your packaging line with a compact machine designed for high-speed palletizing, featuring an innovative layer handling system that minimizes cycle times and maintenance costs.

The Artis EVO from GEA is an innovative palletizer designed for high-speed, diverse packaging handling in the food and beverage industry. It features a patented layer handling system, eliminating the need for a pusher, which reduces maintenance and equipment footprint. The mono-column design ensures easy access and high visibility, while belt transmissions reduce noise and lubrication needs. Capable of up to six layers per minute, it efficiently palletizes cartons, cans, and wrapped packs. Integration is seamless with upstream layer preparation systems like the Polaris EVO, making it suitable for medium/high production lines. Its compact design eases transport and installation, offering customization to meet specific operational requirements.

Benefits

  • Increases operational efficiency by minimizing maintenance through a pusher-less design.
