Palletnester

The Lalesse pallet nester/stacker is designed to convert a stacked pallet to a nested stack and back.

Technical Description:

The system consists of two stacker units with in between a rotating unit. This rotating unit transports a pallet to the left or right and has the possibility to turn the pallet 180°. The normal stacked pallets are pushed upwards without the bottom pallet by using a clamping device. The bottom pallet will be moved to the rotating unit where it will be transported to the nested stack. The following pallet will be, while moving to the nested pallets, rotated 180° on the rotating unit. In this way a nested stack will be created.

By nesting the pallets the volume will be reduced by 23.5%. This means that, using nested stacks on an 8m-truck floor, the amount of pallets will be increased by 27%. Which again will result in a reduction of the transport and storage costs.

The Lalesse pallet nester can operate as a stand-alone system but it is also possible to integrate the separate units in a transport line

For instance, rotating unit, stacker unit, stacker unit at the end of a transport line. In this way a nested stack is build while another nested stack of pallets can be used as extra buffer.
