Pallet Dispenser

A stack of pallets is placed into the chamber using a forklift or an in-feed conveyor for pallet dispensers, customarily made to accommodate single-size pallets or slip sheets. The stack is raised off the bottom pallet by the forks, which have engaged the second pallet. The stack is lowered onto the conveyor when the bottom pallet leaves on an exit conveyor. Slip sheets are distributed the same way, and the operation is repeated until the dispenser is empty.

Features of Pallet Dispensers

• These heavy-duty structures feature a welded construction that can resist wear and tear from industrial use.
• They work independently. The dispenser can operate on its own without being included in an automated system.
• In the pellet hopper, the gravity flaps ensure that top-loaded pallets stack steadily and squarely.
• Automated systems provide adjustable pallet-ejection interval settings.
• Some dispensers allow loading in three directions. Loading can occur in any direction (left-handed, right-handed, or inline) except the direction of dispensing.
• They have low-level detection, which allows the dispenser to warn users when there are insufficient pallets.

Types of Pallet Dispensers

1. Auto-Load Dispensers: When production depends on timely and accurate palletizing, auto-load dispensers are excellent for multiple pallets. Such types provide continuous operation and are ideal for handling larger-sized cargoes. Up to three stacks of 10–12 items can be stored in auto-loading settings. These machines allow for either side or inline loading.

   

2. Enhanced-Pallet Dispensers: With this type, pallets are removed from the pile by pulling the stack up while leaving the bottom pallet in place. The stack is reassembled once the isolated pallet has been taken out. Enhanced pallet systems can feature side or inline loading and can hold 12 to 15 items.
3. Standard Pallet Dispensers: The pallet at the bottom of the stack is removed using a sweeping chain in a standard pallet dispenser. These solutions are perfect for projects needing top caps, slip sheets, and layer sheets. Standard setups offer side loading and have a 12 to 15 component capacity.

   

Material and Construction of Pallet Dispensers

• Some pallet dispensers are made with a welded, steel-tubing structure. NEMA 4 enclosures feature an enamel surface that has been abrasion-blasted.
• Pallet dispensers often have heavy-duty construction, excellent reliability, and the capacity to link with current machinery.
• These machines include a strong, steel frame and a powerful scissor lift to move the pallets up and down.

Working of Pallet Dispensers

• A pallet dispenser distributes pallets one-by-one into the conveyor or the work area from a storage capacity of several pallets, often between 15 and 20 pallets.
• Pallet dispensers come in manual and automated varieties.
• Manual pallet dispensers are unloaded using a forklift.
• Pallets may be accessed by a forklift or a hand pallet truck from the front or the sides, with the forklift accessing one side and the hand pallet truck emptying from the other.
• Automatic pallet dispensers utilize their power to dispense the pallet rather than requiring it to be loaded by another piece of machinery. They can be driven by hydraulic, pneumatic, or electromechanical methods.

Benefits of Pallet Dispensers

1. They reduce manual work and ergonomic problems.
2. They increase production by reducing cycle time and cut costs by extending pallet life.
3. They feature completely-welded, heavy-duty construction.
4. Standard models contain a hydraulic lift table; advanced models may have an optional electromechanical lift.
5. Pallet fingers work pneumatically to dispense.
6. Options for an independent control package are available.
7. They are easily incorporated into fully-automated systems for pallet handling and packing.

Applications of Pallet Dispensers

• Pallets can be placed accurately into conveyors or dropped directly to the ground using pallet dispensers.
• High-speed automated palletizing, load-forming lines, manual access for pallet dispensing and storage, ASRS systems, pallet-repair systems, and AGV systems are typical applications for pallet dispensers.
• Pallet dispensers are helpful in the medical, cosmetics, consumer goods, food processing, warehousing, chemical processing, material handling, paper, and pharmaceutical sectors.
• Another beneficial application is to combine a pallet recycler and dispenser into one empty-pallet, auto-washing system.
