Recently, the customized automatic gantry palletizer by Sunswell has completed full assembly and in-plant joint commissioning. The equipment will be shipped to the United States together with the 24,000 BPH (40-40-15) high-speed bottled water filling line. As the core end-of-line packaging equipment, it is specially designed for shrink-wrapped water packs, perfectly matching the high-speed production rhythm and connecting the subsequent automatic stretch wrapper to realize full-process factory automation.
1. Highlights of Push-type Palletizing Technology
Different from traditional vacuum grabbing structures, this gantry palletizer adopts a mechanical pushing and grouping stacking method tailored for bottled water shrink packs.
•Effectively avoids film damage, pack sliding and misalignment
•No suction or contact with the film surface
•Guarantees stable, continuous operation for standardized water production
2. Custom Stacking Pattern & Automatic Palletizing Process
The machine is programmed with a customized stacking pattern:
Custom stacking layout: 2×4 packs per layer, 4 layers per pallet
Precise positioning: Conveyor system accurately arranges shrink packs
Orderly stacking: Layer-by-layer stacking for uniform pallet loads
3.Gantry Palletizer: Intelligent Control, Auto Pallet Supply & Whole-line Connection
Equipped with an independent HMI control system, the machine supports easy parameter adjustment, pattern switching and speed control. The automatic pallet feeding system realizes automatic pallet supply and precise positioning, achieving unmanned operation and greatly improving production efficiency.
After palletizing, the full pallet is automatically transferred to the automatic stretch wrapper for film wrapping and reinforcement. This effectively stabilizes the pallet structure and prevents load shifting or collapsing during in-factory handling and internal transportation, ensuring safe and tidy finished product storage and transfer.
All mechanical and electrical configurations comply with North American industrial standards. The equipment has passed comprehensive pre-shipment testing and perfectly matches the 24,000 BPH high-speed filling line, realizing seamless connection from filling and shrink wrapping to palletizing and stretch wrapping.
This delivery further improves Sunswell’s complete bottling line solutions for overseas markets. In the future, Sunswell will continue to optimize end-of-line automated packaging equipment, providing efficient, stable and intelligent one-stop packaging solutions for global customers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is AI vision worth it on a small line?
A: Often yes—cap and fill-level inspection alone prevents costly recalls; scale the camera count to speed.
Q: Does IoT require constant internet?
A: No. Local dashboards work offline; cloud is for remote support and multi-site roll-ups.
Q: Will AI features raise lead time much?
A: Modestly—mostly software/config; choose a supplier with proven deployments to avoid custom-risk delays.
