Model 72AE - Palletizers - A-B-C Packaging Machine Corporation

Model 72AE Palletizer with extended table

This Model 72AE palletizer offers increased speeds due to a larger accumulation table that allows continued product grouping during layer transfer. It runs cases, trays or totes, with features for ultra-smooth case transit, perfect load positioning, and rapid product changeover. This palletizer features low level construction providing the freedom of floor level operation, and a clean, open profile that ensures easy access. Modular designs provide total flexibility for your palletizing production requirements today and in the future.

Economical floor level palletizer

While this palletizer operates at floor level, it accepts cases from any level. So you can enjoy the benefits of low level operation with low, medium or high level case feed.

The clean, open construction and floor level access points of this palletizer simplify routine maintenance. On-floor operation allows plant personnel to monitor palletizer operation while performing other tasks.

Model 72AE touch screen operator panel puts you in control of all palletizing operations

Touch screen operator panel puts you in control of all palletizing operations

The color display shows real-time operating data and allows independent operation of all palletizing functions, diagnostics, and changeover settings. It provides an easy to follow sequence for auto and manual functions, and auto-setup for daily, shift or batch runs. Preventative maintenance messages automatically alert the operator for periodic or routine maintenance.

Model 72AE palletizer features positive load transfer

Palletizer features positive load transfer

Designed for reliable and powerful load transfer, the 72A palletizer features a mechanical row pusher bar with a dual chain drive. It utilizes a counterweighted elevator table to ensure stable container transfer and eliminate stress on the drive motor, for longer motor life. The vertical transport is powered by a variable frequency motor drive, which eliminates shock to the product by providing a soft start and stop during load transport.

Features to ensure efficient case transport to palletizing

The self-adjusting layer retainer sweep bar on the 72A palletizer compensates for case load variations, to ensure a positive sweep for every load. It automatically centers each layer on the pallet, eliminating additional adjustments during changeover.

Designed for your palletizing needs today and in the future

While each machine is pre-programmed for case sizes and pallet patterns to accommodate your current requirements, flexibility for future requirements is built in. A complete selection of product infeed and pallet discharge alternatives are available, as well as many case orienting and accumulation options.
