FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is your question not listed? Email questions@elten.nl or call +31 (0)36 547 4080.
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.
