The automatic crate stackers from Elten stack millions of crates every day for customers worldwide. This takes the work out of your line and reduces physical complaints among your people. ### Well-thought-out simplicity Automation only pays off if your machine keeps running. That is why the stackers are as simple and user-friendly as possible, with as few parts as possible, and only of high quality. ### Adapted to your crates Customer-specific, with standard components: the machine is matched to the weight and size of your crates. Are you looking for a standard machine or a machine with a very high capacity? Do you want to stack, destack or both? Standalone or as part of a complete system? And are the infeed and outfeed at different heights? There is a suitable solution for every combination. ### Benefits - Cost-efficient - Ergonomically sound - Continuous production - High reliability - 24/7 support - Low energy consumption - Robust design: minimal maintenance and a longer service life How it works ## The machine in operation A full stack in, single crates out. Scroll along with an Elten destacker at work. 1. ### Infeed The stack rolls over the roller conveyor into the machine and comes to a stop right under the gripper. 2. ### Gripping The gripper lowers along the stack and clamps it exactly above the crate that needs to come off. 3. ### Destacking Crate by crate, one is released, at the pace of the line behind it. No manual work, no lifting. 4. ### Outfeed Each crate goes onto the belt separately, ready to be filled, washed or sorted.
