Sweep-off type depalletising

BMS new glass sweep-off depalletiser UNIPAL 202 – the ideal machine for the infeed of new glass and/or cans into your filling plant.

With the new-developed UNIPAL 202 new glass sweep-off depalletiser BMS delivers both diversity and high output levels in the small and medium performance range. In addition, the new glass sweep-off depalletiser UNIPAL 202 offers all the advantages of the BMS portal design, such as maximum flexibility, small footprint and modular design for easy integration into your existing plant system.

The sweep-off axis in telescopic design permits overlapping axis movements and therefore faster cycle times with minimum space requirement. In this way, up to 200 layers can be processed per hour in the smallest of spaces. The telescopic design of the sweep-off axis also permits discharge of the containers at any height and simultaneously reduces the risk of collision with other machines.

The BMS new glass sweep-off depalletiser UNIPAL 202 is extendible with external modules such as, for instance, an external centring system. Continuous holding of the top layer of the new glass pallet beyond the sweep-off process guarantees maximum process reliability.

It is also possible to supplement the BMS new glass sweep-off depalletiser UNIPAL 202 with an additional external module – a layer pad remover. Inverted trays, top frames, layer pads and bottom layers as well as empty pallets are taken up by the layer pad remover, stacked or placed in a magazine. Perhaps you need a third storage bay? We have a solution for this as well: by simply supplementing the new glass sweep-off depalletiser with a second layer pad remover.

With the BMS new glass sweep-off depalletiser UNIPAL 202 you can handle all standard pallet sizes and containers. The quiet and reliable operation of the machine as well as its simple operating concept establish a very high level of plant availability. In short, the new-developed new glass sweep-off depalletiser UNIPAL 202 sets new standards in footprint, availability, flexibility and performance.

Many years of experience in the palletising sector, along with our highly trained and innovative engineers, ensure you the best mechanical engineering, functionality and performance in this application as well.

BMS palletiser UNIPAL 107/108

The column-type robots BMS UNIPAL 107/108 can be used in multiple ways for the palletising and depalletising of e.g. beverage crates, shrink-packs, multipacks or cartons. The column robots reach maximum speeds of 450 cycles/h and handle loads of up to 750 kg. They are available as swivel-arm or linear-arm robots. Due to their motion control system and specific application of counterweights these BMS column-type robots are extremely accurate and energy efficient. The product-optimised gripper systems also ensure optimal pack protection and high stacking quality. The column-type robots BMS UNIPAL 107/108 can be additionally fitted with quick-changeover equipment for the gripper system as well as with customised lifting and swivel or linear motions as optional extensions.

BMS new glass sweep-off depalletiser: UNIPAL 201

The BMS sweep-off depalletiser UNIPAL 201 with pallet lift and the UNIPAL 202 with height adjustment are top of the range machines that complete our programme of container handling equipment based on the proven UNIPAL technology. BMS sweep-off depalletisers process all types of containers used in the beverage industry and in all relevant performance ranges. Based on our many years of experience in palletising technology and with our qualified and innovative engineering staff we are able to offer the highest level of mechanical engineering, functionality and performance also in this application field.

The sweep-off depalletisers BMS UNIPAL 201/202 are high performance machines for depalletising new containers such as cans, jars or plastic containers. The integrated control and drive systems permit accurate positioning in a dynamic mode of operation. Due to the control concept and the specific use of counterweights the BMS sweep-off depalletisers are particularly energy efficient. The product-optimised gripper systems also ensure optimised and gentle handling of the pack.
