Episode: Palletizing & Depalletizing (Machinery)

Conventional or mechanical palletizers contain row formers, elevators and row pushers that load cases or bags in determined locations onto a pallet. High-level conventional palletizers operate at an elevated level, often on high-capacity production lines where speed and the ability to handle large volumes are paramount.
