Palletisers and Pallet Robot Systems For Your Production Line

Minipack International supplies palletisers and pallet robot systems that take over the repetitive job of stacking cartons at the end of a packing line, removing the manual lifting that causes most strain injuries and keeping every pallet built to the same pattern. Our range covers compact Cartesian palletisers for lines with limited floor space and robot palletisers for operations that need more reach and flexibility. Each unit can run as a standalone cell or be linked to your carton sealers, conveyors and pallet wrapping machines.

Compact Palletiser and Double Station Compact Palletiser

The Compact Palletiser is a Cartesian system built on a rigid frame with a footprint starting at about 2,200 by 1,350mm. It handles 800 by 1,200mm and 1,000 by 1,200mm pallets and stacks to a finished height of 2,700mm at up to 10 movements a minute. Its vacuum pick and place head handles cartons from 90 by 150 by 100mm up to 400 by 600 by 600mm. Light curtains protect operators who need access to the pallet bay. The Double Station Compact Palletiser adds a second pallet bay, so one pallet can be removed while the next is being built and the line doesn't stop for pallet changes. You can also add interlayer sheet storage, empty pallet storage, automatic roller conveyors for loading and unloading, an integrated pallet wrapper and depalletising.

Robot Palletisers and Cobot Palletiser Alternatives

The Double Sided Robotic Pallet System uses a robot arm that picks up to 20kg at 8 to 10 cycles a minute. It builds pallets on both sides of the cell, so production continues while a full pallet is taken away. Stacking patterns are set through a visual programming screen in about five minutes, which suits food, pharmaceutical, printing and household chemical producers who run several carton sizes. Many buyers look at cobot palletisers for a smaller, simpler cell. Its safety programming stops the robot from picking while people are in the area, and its small footprint and simple wiring make it practical for mid-volume lines.

Choosing Between Our Robotic Palletisers

For a single product line with standard Australian pallets and limited floor space, the Compact Palletiser is usually the most economical place to start. The Double Station model suits sites that can't afford to stop the line for pallet changes. The robotic pallet system is better when you run mixed carton sizes, change patterns often or need two pallet positions from a single robot. Our team can review your carton sizes, line speed and floor layout in our Campbellfield showroom or on site, then recommend the palletiser that fits.

Palletiser & Robotic System FAQs

What is a palletiser machine and how does it work? A palletiser is an automated system that stacks products such as boxes, cartons, or bags onto pallets in a structured pattern. It uses robotics or mechanical systems to organise and load products efficiently at the end of a production line.

What are the advantages of robotic palletising systems? Robotic palletising enhances productivity, reduces workload, lowers labour costs, improves workplace safety, and maintains consistent stacking patterns. These systems are ideal for high-volume operations requiring speed and precision.

Where are palletising machines used in industry? Palletisers are widely used across food and beverage, packaging, logistics, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries where bulk handling and automated stacking are essential.

Can palletising systems be tailored for different products? Yes, most palletising systems can be configured to suit different product sizes, weight distributions, and stacking patterns, making them highly adaptable for various applications.

How much space is needed for a robotic palletiser? Space requirements vary depending on the system type, but compact robotic palletisers are available for facilities with limited floor space while still delivering high performance.

Is palletising suitable for small and medium businesses? Yes, scalable palletising solutions are available for both small and medium businesses, allowing companies to improve efficiency and reduce manual labour as they grow.
