L-Shape APS is one of the fastest automated pallet inverter systems on the market, due to being equipped with the APS technology (Automatic Pallet Shift), which enables extremely fast pallet changes.
The APS system, designed and patented by Toppy, allows the origin pallet to shift sideways while the destination pallet slides under the load, once the machine reaches 120° tilting.
The introduction of this automated pallet inverter has significantly improved the functionality of traditional pallet exchanger, which required the operator’s physical involvement in the process. With the APS, this step is completely eliminated, improving efficiency and speed, and most importantly, reducing the risk of injury.
It can be easily integrated and can be tailored for specific applications.
Patented Systems;
Handles 85-90 pallets/hour;
Exchanges also from slip sheet to pallet e vice versa.
Features at a Glance of our Automated Pallet Inverter
Truly one of a kind in speed and efficiency, this system is engineered to handle the most demanding production flows, managing up to 85-90 pallet changes per hour—making it the ideal solution for high-volume operations!
This automated pallet inverter has revolutionized the pallet exchanger industry. The APS system shifts the origin pallet sideways while the destination pallet slides under the load, which is momentarily rotated.
We customize our systems to meet specific project needs. This includes factors such as conveyor height, existing machinery, the number of pallets to be changed per hour, the implementation area (inbound or outbound), product type, pallet specifications, and other relevant details
This automated pallet inverter safely handles both fragile and bulky loads, such as pharmaceutical vials, cans, drums, bottles, boxes, and more. Known for its versatility, it is one of the most adaptable solutions in our range.
One of our greatest strengths: 100% Made in Italy, crafted in Bologna at our headquarters with top-quality Italian components. These ensure our machines are built to last, making us global industry leaders!
This automated pallet inverter is also capable of exchanging loads from an internal product support board, to any other type of pallets.
Our in-house engineering department can develop a customized automated pallet inverter layout, adapting it perfectly to the available space at the customer’s site. The design approach considers not only the dimensions of the area but also the customer’s specific needs, ensuring a tailored solution that optimizes efficiency and system functionality.
For automatic pallet changers, no operators are required, as the machine performs the entire operation autonomously. This ensures a more efficient and streamlined process, minimizing the need for manual intervention and boosting overall productivity.
How Does an Automated Pallet Inverter Work?
The pallet change process with this automated pallet inverter is entirely automatic.
The load and the destination pallet enter the machine simultaneously. Once positioned, the automated pallet inverter tilts the load to 120°.
At this angle, the platform slightly separates from the bottom of the load to enable the Automatic Pallet Shift (APS). The APS smoothly shifts the origin pallet sideways while the destination pallet slides seamlessly underneath the load.
The process concludes with the entire load, now secured on the destination pallet, being tilted back to its original orientation. Both the load and the new pallet are then transferred along the roller conveyors to their designated area, ensuring maximum efficiency and safety.
