The InterSystem FLOW Palletiser delivers high-capacity palletising from a low infeed height. An integrated lifting unit transfers product from the infeed to the layer smoothly, keeping a continuous flow for fast, stable stacks with minimal downtime.
Most high-capacity palletisers want product delivered at height, which means a mezzanine, a long incline, or steelwork through the roof. All three are expensive, all three eat floor space, and in a leased or height-restricted building one or more of them may simply not be allowed. The FLOW takes product at floor level and still runs at high-capacity rates, so the palletiser stops dictating what the rest of the building has to look like.
An integrated lifting unit carries product from the infeed up to the layer, and it does it continuously rather than in stop-start batches. That is what lets a low infeed reach rates you would normally only get from a high one: product is never waiting at the bottom for the machine to come back for it. It also keeps control of the pack the whole way up, which matters for anything with soft edges or a partial fill.
Controlled placement gives square, repeatable layers, and square layers are what make a pallet stable enough to move, wrap and stack without the load working loose. Euro, CHEP and custom pallet sizes run from recipes, with brick, pin-wheel and mixed patterns chosen at the HMI. Pattern selection is worth deciding against how the load actually travels, because it drives both stability and how much film the wrapper needs.
Cases, trays, crates and many bagged goods. Tooling and motion profiles are matched to your packaging rather than the reverse, which is where most of the difference lies with delicate or inconsistent packs. Throughput is confirmed as cases per minute at design stage, once pack size and pattern are known, rather than promised as a headline number.
The layout is compact and can be built left or right hand, so the cell fits the line you already have instead of forcing a rebuild around it. We supply layout drawings during design to confirm clearances, pallet truck routes and operator access before anything is committed. On tight sites that drawing usually settles the question faster than any spec sheet.
FLOW is the choice when product arrives at floor level and the rates are high. If the infeed can be high and the priority is peak sustained throughput, the high capacity palletiser is the closer match, and where two or three packing lines need to share one cell the multi-line palletiser is built for that. At lower volumes the semi-automatic palletiser and the COMPACT automatic palletiser cover the same work at a smaller scale.
Changeovers are recipe-based, so patterns, heights and timings adjust at the HMI in minutes rather than needing a fitter. Options include a pallet dispenser, slip and layer sheet placement, automatic outfeed, a stretch wrapper handshake, and barcode or label verification and vision checks on the finished load. The usual downstream pairing is pallet wrapping on that handshake, with print and apply labelling where the pallet needs a label before it moves.
Standard PLC and HMI I/O or fieldbus connects upstream conveyors and downstream equipment, with WMS or MES links for counts, faults and OEE. Maintenance is routine inspection of drives, belts, sensors and the lifting unit, which is straightforward to schedule because those are the parts that wear. LVP Automation specifies, installs and supports palletising cells from Finglas, Dublin 11 as part of our wider automation services.
Achieve top throughput at floor level—no lifts or long inclines upstream. Ideal for sites avoiding platforms or ceiling work.
The lifting unit maintains product control from infeed to layer, protecting packs and delivering square, stable pallets.
Drop into existing ends-of-line, then add pallet dispensers, layer sheets, wrappers and print/apply as volumes grow.
Quick answers on capacity, products, layouts, changeovers and integration.
Its dedicated lifting unit keeps product moving continuously from infeed to layer, reducing interruptions and boosting throughput.
Rates depend on pack size/pattern; the FLOW is engineered for high-capacity duty. We confirm cases/min at design stage.
