Palletizing solution for low to medium production capacity

Optimize your production line with a palletizing solution designed for seamless integration, delivering steady and efficient pallet loading for low to medium capacity operations.

The GEA Palletizer Opera is designed for low to medium production capacities, providing efficient palletizing solutions for solid goods across diverse industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and packaging. This equipment offers low-level infeed with continuous operation, facilitating smooth and steady pallet loading for items including carton packs, bottled beverages, and chemical containers.

Its working principle involves a sturdy two-column structure made of 5mm painted carbon steel, with motorized lift capabilities controlled by an inverter and encoder. The flexible layer discharge head, featuring a 90° single or double-layer pushing system, accommodates various palletizing patterns and package types. Production capacity reaches up to 4 layers per minute, ensuring high throughput.

Integration into existing systems is seamless, thanks to its motorized side-compacting guides which allow automatic changeovers of pallet dimensions and patterns. Maintenance is simplified with the design allowing easy access to all machine parts. Additionally, its energy-efficient operation is achieved through optimized motor control, reducing overall energy consumption. This makes the GEA Palletizer Opera a reliable choice for producers seeking to streamline their palletizing operations and enhance production line efficiency.
