As a standalone machine or as a complete line. [Discuss this application](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/contact/)[View the machines](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/machines/?productdrager=crates) ## What do you want to do with your crates? [All machines](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/machines/?productdrager=crates) - [Stacking & destacking](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/oplossingen/stacking-destacking/) - [Lifting & level changes](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/oplossingen/lifting-level-changes/) - [Conveying & buffering](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/oplossingen/conveying-buffering/) - [Loading & unloading](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/oplossingen/loading-unloading/) - [Sorting & positioning](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/oplossingen/sorting-positioning/) - [Washing lines](https://elten-us.ubo-dev.nl/oplossingen/washing-lines/) Sound familiar? ## Manual work with crates costs more than you think - ### Every crate is different Different sizes, brands and types of crates mixed together. Every deviation means a changeover, or doing it by hand after all. - ### Dirty crates back in the chain Crates have to go back clean and intact. Feeding, washing and checking them by hand is slow, and a damaged crate easily slips through. - ### The supply doesn’t keep pace with the line Crates come in at peaks. Without a buffer, the line stops or jams, and people have to step in to clear the stacks.

Email [questions@elten.nl](mailto:questions@elten.nl) or call [+31 (0)36 547 4080](tel:+31365474080). 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.
