Depalletiser

A depalletiser is an intelligent handling system for the precise and damage-free removal of sheet metal packages or other load units, particularly from wooden pallets or system pallets. It is used when sheet metal or similar materials are to be stored, transferred or removed without the pallet. By selectively stamping out the material, it can be integrated directly into shelving systems, cassettes or on steel shelves - perfectly tailored to the requirements of warehousing, dispatch or production.

There are different types of depalletisers depending on the application. Models such as the PalEx® classic from storemaster® impress with their modular components and 2-axis displacement of the lifting rams. This means that all types of sheet formats and pallet dimensions can be handled safely and ergonomically. The individual lifting rams are made of hard rubber with high adhesive force and reliably prevent pressure marks.

Thanks to the sophisticated design, the stacking height, weight and position of the sheet packs can be precisely adjusted. The design can optionally be used as a mobile or stationary system - depending on the required options and conditions in the warehouse. The working method is so flexible that even individual sheets can be removed from a pack.

Depalletising not only reduces the pallet weight, but also optimises the material flow - a real benefit for efficiency and safety. Anyone looking for modular and customised solutions will find PalEx® a perfectly positioned tool for modern sheet metal logistics.

In modern storage technology, there are basically three types of depalletisers. Each system is specially designed to handle materials such as trays, bottles, glass bottles, containers or even used packaging safely and efficiently. At a glance:

• Automatic depalletiser
  This machine is fully automated. It handles all movements such as lifting, lowering and precise positioning independently - ideal for large systems, for example in the beverage industry, where glass or bottles are processed in large quantities.

• Semi-automatic depalletiser
  These devices combine manual operation with motorised or pneumatic components. The operator initiates the process and the device carries out certain steps semi-automatically - particularly suitable for changing formats and medium throughput.

• Manual depalletiser
  These include the PalEx® classic from storemaster®. It is fully controlled by the user, dispenses with automation, but is ergonomically optimised: movable lifting stamps, material-friendly support surfaces and optional mobility make it an efficient solution - especially for sheets in various sizes, even for used stock items or delicate glass bottles.

All variants are robustly equipped and designed for high axle loads. Systems such as the PalEx® can be perfectly integrated into existing processes - for maximum efficiency in depalletising.

The use of a depalletiser such as the PalEx® classic from storemaster® offers numerous advantages for industrial production - especially when handling palletised raw materials such as trays for cans or components for the filling line. Thanks to targeted depalletising with the PalEx®, product layers can be cleanly unloaded, removed and fed directly into the corresponding further processing - ergonomically and at a comfortable working height.

This not only saves time, but also significantly reduces labour costs. Less manual intervention is required, which minimises the risk of injury. Thanks to the sophisticated stamp design with hard rubber discs, the material remains in optimum condition - it can be processed without reworking.

Another plus point: the flexible design of the PalEx® allows it to be used with empty or loaded pallets. It is mobile, optionally stationary and can be seamlessly integrated into existing machine and warehouse structures - without the need for additional approval or adaptation of larger systems. Even heavier units are handled precisely and safely. Whether palletising or unloading - the PalEx® classic increases efficiency, safety and quality along the entire production and logistics chain.

The performance of a depalletiser depends heavily on whether it is a manual system or an automatic depalletiser. The PalEx® classic from storemaster® has been designed to offer maximum flexibility and efficiency when palletising and depalletising trays - both with full and empty system pallets and cassettes.

While fully automatic machines process several hundred product layers per hour, the PalEx® impresses with its practical solution for fast, single-sort access to individual sheet layers. The diagonally adjustable lifting stamps with hard rubber supports enable precise and damage-free stamping - manually or optionally with the support of motorised components.

Factors such as the size, weight and format of the sheet metal packages, as well as integration into existing processes and machine systems, influence the actual performance in operation. The PalEx® can be customised to the requirements of the warehouse or production hall. As a multifunctional depalletiser, the PalEx® classic not only increases productivity, but also safety and ergonomics in the workplace - making it a valuable component of any modern sheet metal logistics system.

depalletiser technologies are specially designed for handling heavy, flat materials such as sheet metal packs in steel and sheet metal processing. The PalEx® from storemaster® impresses with its exceptional flexibility: it is suitable for all sheet formats, from small formats to maximum formats. The diagonally adjustable lifting plungers can be adapted precisely to the respective pallet dimensions or material format - whether wooden pallet, system pallet or superFLAT.

The PalEx® is designed to meet the requirements of everyday industrial use: The material-friendly hard rubber stamps with Ø 100 x 40 mm reliably prevent pressure marks, especially on thin or finished metal sheets. This makes it ideal for sensitive surfaces and high-precision further processing in production.

Thanks to its robust design with a static load capacity of 4,000 kg and the option of outdoor storage (hot-dip galvanised in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1461), the PalEx® is a reliable helper even in harsh conditions. For companies in the steel industry, this means safe, ergonomic and time-saving handling of raw materials - from the warehouse directly into production.

A depalletiser such as the PalEx® classic from storemaster® makes a decisive contribution to reducing storage costs and pallet requirements - especially in steel and sheet metal processing. Instead of storing packs of sheet metal permanently on wooden pallets, the PalEx® enables the sheet metal to be directly stamped from the pallet into system pallets, cassettes or drawers.

This not only saves pallet material, but also valuable storage space - as there is no unnecessary load volume and weight due to wooden beams. At the same time, the logistical effort is reduced as fewer pallets need to be moved, exchanged or disposed of. The PalEx® classic is therefore the economical solution for companies that want to handle large quantities of sheet metal efficiently and optimise their storage structure at the same time. Fewer pallets, fewer stock transfers - but more organisation, safety and efficiency in the daily material flow.
