Pack grouping and palletising

Grouping and palletising packs in the dairy industry nowadays often entails very stringent requirements. The sheer diversity of articles involved, with a well-nigh unlimited number of flavour and packaging variants, necessitates flexible solutions for the palletising function. What’s more, depending on the client involved, layer formation with a different number of different product variants will be required.
With the Robobox and Modulpal system for grouping and palletising, milk and dairy product companies have a high-performance, flexible, modularised system at their disposal, one that meets all requirements for layer formation and palletising.
