Highrunner HR15: Palletizer for drink cartons

Maximize Efficiency in Palletizing with the Qimarox HR15, Palletizer for drink cartons

Automating the palletizing process presents unique challenges. High throughput, precision, and flexibility are essential to meet the demands of modern production lines. That’s where the Qimarox Highrunner HR15 Palletizer for drink cartons comes in—an advanced solution designed to optimize performance in high-demand environments.

The Qimarox HR15 Palletizer is specifically engineered to address the complexities of palletizing in the beverage industry. With high-level infeed capabilities, based on the successful design of the Highrunner HR7, the HR15 offers both high throughput and flexibility. The HR15 palletizer is ideal for palletizing systems for products with drink cartons like TetraPak and Combibloc. The HR15 layer palletizer comes with all layer patterns known to the sector already programmed. These patterns can be selected automatically without any manual adjustment needed.

High Throughput with Superior Flexibility

The HR15 is capable of handling layer weights up to 180kg. The Qimarox palletizer is flexible and is also very suitable for applications where carton dimensions and weights vary. Its intelligent layer handling system is designed to create and manage high-speed layers without interruptions, ensuring continuous operation even during pallet changeovers.

Seamless Changeovers for Maximum Uptime

One of the standout features of the HR15 is its efficient pallet changeover system. The transition between empty and loaded pallets is streamlined to minimize downtime. The HR15 uses a buffer position for an empty pallet right in front of the loading position. As soon as the loaded pallet is moved out, the empty pallet is automatically aligned and centered, ready to receive the next layer. This unique layer formation system ensures that the palletizing process continues smoothly, without interruptions during pallet changeovers.

Limited Floor Space? No Problem with the HR15

Many beverage factories prioritize production first and only consider end-of-line automation after their systems are up and running smoothly. However, by this time, floor space is often limited. The HR15's high-level infeed design ensures that only the space needed for the actual loading position is occupied, leaving the rest of the floor free. This system can easily be integrated into existing production lines without requiring extensive modifications. The layer formation is placed on a mezzanine floor, freeing up valuable floor space and preventing any blockage of the packaging line.

Handle Fragile Drink Cartons with Precision

In the beverage industry, especially when handling cartons, automation needs to be gentle yet precise. The HR15’s unique layer formation system ensures smooth, controlled handling of every product. With electrical gear motors equipped with frequency inverters and encoders, the HR15 can precisely control speeds, acceleration, and deceleration. These parameters are stored in the machine's recipe data, allowing quick adjustments for different carton types and sizes—minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring the safe handling of fragile cartons for example TetraPak, Combibloc, etc.

Minimize Downtime and Maintenance

The HR15 Palletizer for drink cartons is designed to maximize uptime and minimize the need for extensive maintenance. Thanks to its modular construction and use of standard mechanical parts, the system is quick and easy to maintain, reducing the risk of costly downtimes. In the rare event of an issue, the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) displays clear fault messages and suggests corrective actions to get the system back up and running in no time. The layer formation mechanism is designed to be highly accurate, reducing the risk of disruptions and ensuring smooth, continuous operation.
