FEATURE PALLETS & PALLETISERS
FAST, FLEXIBLE AND DURABLE palletisers and vertical transport
Compact, modular pallet lifts and palletisers from Qimarox reduce the costs of purchase, installation, integration, use and maintenance to place automation within reach of many
Q
imarox says its innovative product lifts, pallet lifts and palletisers are
proof that high capacity and flexibility can go together with low operating costs and a high degree of durability. The company supplies components for material handling and packaging systems characterised by a compact and modular design and high degree of standardisation. The components excel not only in capacity but in versatility and flexibility which makes them easy to integrate into any situation. The company aims to place
mechanisation and automation of packaging processes and logistics processes within everyone’s reach.
FAST AND EFFICIENT PALLETISING Highrunner mk7 combines the capacity of a conventional palletiser with the flexibility of a palletising robot. Whether it’s boxes with or without covers, trays with or without foil, buckets, crates or jerrycans – the palletiser can carefully and accurately position them into any desired pattern and deposit them on the pallet layer by layer. The user-friendly touch screen allows operators to easily select the desired stacking pattern and program new ones if necessary. Its patented pattern-formation conveyor is always located at the same height as the top of the pallet. This allows the layers created to be deposited at lighting speed which makes for a particularly high capacity.
BUILT-IN PALLET LIFT A built-in pallet lift ensures that the pallet drops automatically so that the next layer can be deposited after each layer is deposited. Once a pallet is full the lift descends to floor level after which a roller conveyor removes the products. Integrating multiple Highrunners according to the Crossrunner principle results in an extremely compact setup where a single roller conveyor is sufficient for the supply and removal of all pallets both full and empty. This setup is able to process large volumes while occupying little space.

This standardised, modular product lift can be integrated into any end- of-line packaging system or storage system
VERTICAL TRANSPORT AND SORTING The Prorunner mk5 product lift works according to the time-honoured paternoster principle which results in a versatile vertical transport system with a capacity of 2,000 products per hour. Because a single elevator system can be used for both upward and downward product flows it is ideal for vertical sorting. The Prorunner mk5 can feed products in and out in three directions without the need for additional equipment. Whether it’s boxes, crates, trays or bags it transports them all to any desired level and without any critical product transitions. All products are transported
horizontally at all times so that product deformations are excluded. The Prorunner mk5 has a patented drive system that reduces friction, therefore reducing energy consumption. Because the system keeps itself in balance, the motor only has to propel the product to be transported and not the product carrier. The system can therefore be operated at a low motor capacity, resulting in considerable savings when compared to other lift systems. Partly for these reasons Qimarox’s Prorunner product conveyors are used by many OEMs, system integrators and
manufacturers of transport systems in various industries around the world.
ROBUST AND COMPACT PALLET LIFT The robust Prorunner mk10 product elevator for pallets of up to 2,000 kg is the latest product in Qimarox’s range of material handling systems. It can transport up to 60 pallets per hour 10 metres upward. This standardised, modular product lift can be integrated into any end-of-line packaging or storage system and used in conjunction with the Highrunner mk7 product palletiser. Based on the design of the successful
Prorunner mk9 pallet lift, the most important difference is that the mk10 features four instead of two columns, allowing it to easily transport pallets weighing up to 2,000 kg. It can easily bridge any difference in
height between 0.40 and 10 metres. Even at the maximum height difference of 10 metres, the lift can still easily transport 60 pallets per hour with ease. The Prorunner mk10 is equipped with a lifting platform of 1200 x 1200 mm as standard so that it can handle not only euro pallets but product carriers of different sizes including block pallets. Its four-column construction allows pallets to be fed in and out on four sides. It is possible to use a single machine to supply multiple infeed or outfeed conveyors so that the lift can also be used for vertical sorting. Because the lift is constructed out of standard sections its height can be increased in 250 mm increments. The Prorunner mk10 is constructed
using steel instead of aluminium columns which ensures great stability despite the dynamic forces that occur during operation. Lifting is silent in the mk10 because it is taken care of by steel cables in a durable plastic case. Furthermore, the steel cables don’t require lubricating or tightening.
