Automated Packaging Systems

With decades of know-how and worldwide expertise in the core areas of conveyor technology, robot systems, palletizing, depalletizing and automation, TRAPO AG presents itself as a renowned manufacturer and total systems supplier of conveyor systems, palletizing technology and packaging machines. Primary and secondary packaging such as cartons, trays, pails and more are palletized and depalletized. The machines in our systems impress with their flexibility, high performance and economic efficiency. We produce in Germany and set standards worldwide ranging from engineering contracts to automation. The palletizers of the HLP series operate with high and low inlet. The product range of the high-capacity layer palletizers is optionally equipped with a y-axis, rotary module or even a traversing axis — so that one or more palletizing stations can be operated as required.

The system adapts single set of ABB robot palletizer and two sets of pallet supplier. The robot will pick 3 cartons at one time to reach the speed about 27 cartons per minute.

The PRINCIPAL-P, a high-performance portal palletizer, combines the high speed of the PRINCIPAL-H with a gripper adapted to the respective application, e.g. combined grippers for palletizing bags and boxes. The great advantage of the PRINCIPAL-P is that it does not push bags, but lays them down and can therefore palletize them overlapping. Furthermore, the bags are pressed from all four sides to obtain a well-structured layer pattern. Boxes are also lifted, laid and afterwards the layer is formed. When arranging the bags or boxes, it is ensured that the bags or boxes are brought into the required position, e.g. barcodes can be read from the outside. In addition, a robot can be installed for possible depalletizing work. Further options enable the PRINCIPAL-P to be optimally adapted to customer requirements.

The machine can handle pallets measuring 1000 x 1200, with a maximum height of 2000, with flat separators between layers of plastic or rigid cardboard containers or trays. It's a stationary platform depalletizer; with this system, it's possible to load the pallet into the machine already without the cardboard hood, using a pallet truck or forklift on the dedicated centering frame ensuring correct positioning. The machine features a robust and compact structure with linear guides to ensure movement precision. It utilizes inflatable rubber gripping heads for 3 rows of bottles, suitable for bottling lines with production rates up to 3,000 b/h. Alternatively, there's a version with gripping heads for picking up an entire layer of bottles. Magnetic gripping heads are also available for depalletizing metal cans. Format changeovers are simple and very fast by adjusting the position of the rubber according to the format. The machine is equipped with an electrical panel and control panel.
