Projects ## How it runs in practice Customer in the United KingdomCustomer in fresh vegetablesSorting specialist in Southern France ![project industriele wasinstallatie](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/10/project-industriele-wasinstallatie.jpg?width=1280 "project industriele wasinstallatie") Customer in the United Kingdom ### Automation before and after an industrial washing installation For a specialist in returnable transit packaging in the United Kingdom, Elten automated the process before and after the industrial washer. Crate destackers divide the stacks; after washing, tote stackers restack the approved crates. - 8pallets in the buffer conveyor - 5core machines in one system - 8000crates per hour [Read the project](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/projecten/automation-before-and-after-an-industrial-washing/) ![project dolly transport koelmagazijn](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/10/project-dolly-transport-koelmagazijn.jpg?width=1280 "project dolly transport koelmagazijn") Customer in fresh vegetables ### Dolly transport and crate tray in a refrigerated warehouse Eltracks for loaded dollies and an Elten Tray Machine for six types of CBL crates. - 320 KGper dolly [Read the project](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/projecten/dolly-transport-and-crate-tray-in-a-refrigerated-warehouse/) ![project trolley transport sorter](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2026/10/project-trolley-transport-sorter.jpg?width=1280 "project trolley transport sorter") Sorting specialist in the south of France ### Trolley transport system under the sorter Two 80-meter Eltracks, placed under the sorter to save floor space. - 250trolleys per hour [Read the project](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/projecten/trolley-transport-system-under-the-sorter/) FAQ ## Frequently asked questions Is your question not listed? E-mail [questions@elten.nl](mailto:questions@elten.nl) or call [+31 (0)36 547 4080](tel:+31365474080). Can one machine both stack and destack? Yes. We supply stackers, destackers and machines that do both. What fits depends on your process and the position in the line. What capacity does a stacker achieve? A crate stacker handles 3500+ crates per hour. The exact capacity depends on your product carrier and your line. Does the machine fit into an existing line? Yes. Standalone or as part of a complete system, even if the infeed and outfeed are at different heights. ## We help with your challenge Put your challenge to an engineer.
