This palletizer is best suited to large bags requiring to be overlapped when stacked. RUNNER-Hybrid combines the conventional machine benefits of layer squaring and layer pressing, with robotic pick-n’-place layer forming. Once a layer is complete, the layer is squared and tightened with powered side plates, and the platform opens to deposit the layer 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.and a fresh pallet moved into position, while a new layer begins formation.
