Multi-line palletising system for cheese and dairy specialities

Scott installed a complete automatic palletising system at the Savencia Fromage & Dairy plant in Czech Republic. It is designed to handle and palletise plastic cups of cheese and dairy products in cardboard trays.

Manual processes have given way to automation
For the Czech Hesov plant, Scott Automation designed, manufactured and installed a complete automatic palletising system to replace the previous manual process of palletising trays from four production lines. The delivery included a tray conveyor system, tray stackers and elevators, four tray accumulation tables, pallet conveyors including stackers, empty pallet checking with automatic reject system, a standard Scott high entry palletiser (at 3.5m height), an empty pallet sheet applicator and an integrated intersheet applicator between product layers with two dispensers. It is a multi-line palletising solution where the palletiser is located in a warehouse hall with a low temperature of 6°C, separated from the production area with a normal temperature of around 20°C.

Output capacity is up to 30 pallets per hour
The freshly packed products in trays arrive at the Hess plant on infeed conveyors and are stacked several high. They then travel up the elevator to the mezzanine floor where they are collected on accumulation tables. When sufficient quantities are ready to fill the pallet, the stacks of trays leave in rows and go to the palletiser in a second hall. Here they are placed on a pallet. Interleaves are automatically inserted under the first layer on the pallet and between the layers. The full pallets then travel along the outfeed conveyor to the wrapping machine, which wraps the pallet in a net. The pallet is then ready to be transported by forklift to the warehouse. Empty pallets are sent to the palletiser from the pallet hopper, their quality is checked by the pallet inspector beforehand and any defective pieces are discarded. The palletising system operates four production lines, from which it receives up to 76 trays per minute in total. Output capacity is up to 30 pallets per hour.
