Palletizing and pallet packaging for beverage lines where heavy loads, wet floors and high line speed all come together.

Industry Overview

A beverage end of line carries three pressures at once: weight, speed and a wet environment. Filled bottle and can packs push pallet loads into high tonnage quickly, and floors near filling and washing stay wet.

Under those conditions, a palletizer that makes the line wait costs filling output directly. Layer forming, pallet feeding and full-pallet discharge are engineered so none of them waits on another, while bottle, can, PET and multipack formats run on the same system by recipe.

Challenges and Answers

The industry's challenge, Cortiva's answer

01
Challenge

Filled bottle and can packs are heavy, and pallet loads reach high tonnage quickly.

Cortiva Answer

Robot and gripper are selected for the load, and for heavy, high-rate duty a high-level palletizer building full layers is evaluated.

02
Challenge

Floors near filling and washing areas stay wet, and the ambient environment is humid.

Cortiva Answer

The wet, humid environment is factored into cell layout and equipment selection from the start.

03
Challenge

Line speed is high, so any wait at the palletizer costs filling output directly.

Cortiva Answer

Layer forming, empty pallet feeding and full-pallet discharge are engineered so none of them waits on another.

04
Challenge

Bottle, can, PET and multipack formats all run on the same line.

Cortiva Answer

Every format is defined as a recipe, and changeover is done from the HMI.
