Drum Palletizer

Get in Touch

Our sturdy drum palletizers improve the safety and reliability of end-of-line packaging for drums by minimizing manual lifting, improving speed and consistency, and enabling as-required matrix formations.

Cybernetik’s Drum Palletizers handle multiple drum variants with speed and precision. The system uses a single robot to palletize drums arriving on multiple lines, and can handle heavy duty drums. The drum palletizer minimizes repeat motion injuries arising from the pick and place of heavy drums by manual labour.

Pallets released by an automated dispenser arrive at the loading station and are positioned correctly by a reference system. A second reference system does the same for drums arriving on the second line. After both are in the proper position, the robot picks and places the drums in customizable matrix formations based on the selected recipe. An optional tool changer enables the robotic palletizing system to palletize other units with the same robot.

How It Works

01

Infeed

Pallets released by auto pallet dispenser and drums from upstream station arrive via separate conveyors.

02

Orientation

Separate reference systems correctly position drums and pallet.

03

Pick & Place

Robotic arms lift and place drums in as-required matrix formation.

05

Pallet Discharge

Loaded pallet moves to wrapping/dispatch area.
