Palletization installation for use with fragile products, e.g. stacks of flat egg cartons, whereby a pushing mechanism is used to move rows of product stacks from a conveyor belt to a pallet support in layer by layer fashion

摘要

Device comprises a pallet support (62) that can be moved vertically up and down and receives layers of products piles arranged in rows. In between successive pile layers are support plates (80), which are supplied from a vertically mobile support arrangement (9). Product piles are moved onto the support plate from a co-planar conveyor belt (4) using a pushing mechanism (5, 50, 51). Thus a layer of piles can be formed on a support plate and then the pallet support lower to commence the next layer.
