Conventional palletizers may be configured to palletize bags or boxes, as well as many other container types such as pails or jerry cans. Low-level palletizers work by first forming each row, which is then moved onto the layer forming platform. Once a layer is complete, the layer is squared and tightened with powered side plates, and the platform moves the layer into place over the stationary pallet. The layer is then deposited onto the pallet. The layer is then flattened against the underside of the platform. When layer count is achieved, the pallet is discharged from the palletizer
and a fresh pallet moved into position, while a new layer begins formation.
