Stacking & destacking
Crates, trays, pallets, buckets or dollies: in loose, out as a stack. Or the other way around. Automatic stacking and destacking takes the heaviest manual work out of your line, without making the line more complex.
Which product carrier do you work with?

You see right away which machines can stack and destack with your product carrier.
Sound familiar?
Stacking costs more than you see
Heavy, monotonous manual work
Lifting and stacking crates, trays or buckets, the whole shift long. That takes manpower and leads to physical complaints among your people.
Manual work keeps getting more expensive
Every hour someone spends stacking doesn't go to work that actually needs attention. And the bill goes up every year.
One breakdown stops the whole line
Stacking sits in the middle of your process. If that step stops, everything behind it stops too.
Simple stacking & destacking
Thought-out simplicity, stack after stack
You feed in crates, trays, pallets, flower buckets or dollies loose, and the machine stacks them one by one. Destacking works the other way around. One machine can also do both.
We adapt the solution to the weight and size of your product carriers. Standalone or as part of a complete system, even if infeed and outfeed are at different heights.
As simple as possible, with as few components as possible. What isn’t there can’t break.
Minimal maintenance
As few components as possible, of high quality.
Low energy use
Continuous production without rising costs.
No more lifting
Ergonomically sound, in a place that is heavy manual work today.
Standalone or in the line
Even if infeed and outfeed are at different heights.
