The Lowrunner LR8 Palletizer is designed specifically for palletizing cartons containing frozen foods, such as vegetables, fries, and fruits.
Palletizing cartons with IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) products presents unique challenges distinct from other industries. Over the past decades, we have demonstrated the ability to provide the best solutions for these challenges.
The LR8 palletizer for IQF products features a special configuration specifically designed to handle cartons that are either not completely filled to the top or are overfilled and bulged on each side. This LR8 layer palletizer comes pre-programmed with all the layer patterns known to the sector. These patterns can be selected automatically without any need for manual adjustments, ensuring efficient and reliable palletizing for frozen foods such as vegetables, fries, and fruits.
Frozen food (IQF) Industry
In the frozen food industry, it's important to efficiently manage the storage and transportation of food. That's where palletizers come in. The Lowrunner LR8 palletizer is a machine that's designed to efficiently load pallets with frozen food products.
There are several reasons why using a palletizer in the frozen food industry is beneficial. First, it speeds up the loading and unloading process for transport trucks, resulting in shorter transportation times and less risk of defrosted food. Second, using a palletizer helps to reduce labor costs by automating a tedious and physical task. Finally, a palletizer can be programmed to load pallets in a way that optimizes storage space, saving money on storage fees.
In summary, using a palletizer in the frozen food industry has many advantages, including shorter transportation times, reduced labor costs, and optimized storage space.
Low level infeed
With the Lowrunner LR8 there is no need for an operator platform as the complete layer formation station is placed at floor level. The unique Qimarox layer formation station can place every product on an exact location. This is done with a product pusher that places every product into a row of product. If a layer is completed this layer is placed onto the bi-directional stacking plate. This is an unique feature as most low level palletizers handle layers with a single direction stacking plate. By using a bi-directional stacking plate to put layers onto the pallet the outline of the pallet will be very consistent to get the maximum strength out of a carton box and a solid pallet load is guaranteed. Due to this solution the Lowrunner LR8 palletizer is very suitable for a large variety of products.
The Lowrunner LR8 can handle a wide range of products:
- boxes
- boxes with lids
- trays
- trays with foil
- crates
- etc.
The Lowrunner is modular constructed. This means that several options are available for each module depending on the customer requirements and the products requiring palletization.
In short, you will end up with the system that best suits your needs. However, this system can be completely adapted to changing circumstances in the future thanks to the interchangeability of its modules.
