Logistics palletizer Highrunner HR9

The Qimarox Highrunner HR9 Logistics palletizer is specially designed for logistics operations. This makes it very efficient where many different products are processed in short batches. Our unique and patented layering system can generate a wide variety of layer patterns. These patterns can be selected automatically or generated by a state-of-the-art pattern generator. The specially designed pattern generator will offer you the most optimal layer pattern according to the box size and pallet size.

For example, if the installation is equipped with a full 3D product scanner, it is even possible to configure the system to operate
completely autonomously. Since the template forming system is located at a high level and the pallet moves up and down with the pallet lifter (Qimarox Prorunner mk10), higher throughput can be achieved.
The top of the pallet is therefore always at the same level as the template forming conveyor.

by a pallet lift. This means that the top of the pallet is always at the same level as the template conveyor. The Highrunner HR7 is the fastest and most flexible palletizer in the Qimarox range. Interestingly, with the Highrunner HR7, products are placed on the pallet layer by layer.

The modular LOWRUNNER LR1 palletizer from Qimarox is a 5-axis palletizer with a capacity of up to 800 packages per hour.

Lowrunner LR1 palletizer Qimarox

This is an entry-level model,
suitable for environments
where a quick return on investment is desired or required. If desired, the LOWRUNNER mk1 can also place pallets and intermediate sheets independently. With the Lowrunner LR1 there is no need for an operator platform as the entire layering station is located at floor level. Qimarox’s unique layering station can place each product in its exact location. This is done by means of a product pusher that places each product
in a row. When a row is complete, the row is placed on a stacking plate.

This is a unique feature, as most low-level palletizers handle products layer by layer. By placing products row by row on the pallet, the machine floor space can be minimized. By extending the stacking plate in two directions, to the front and back of the pallet, reliable pallet loading is guaranteed. This solution makes the Lowrunner LR1 very suitable for a wide range of products.

To improve OEE, we developed the ContourScanner CS1 to detect defective packaging. The CS1 helps improve OEE by minimizing downtime.

ContourScanner CS1

Most production line downtime is caused by poorly packaged products. Problems such as mismatched package shapes or sizes can significantly reduce overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Additionally, defective packages entering the palletizer can result in improperly stacked pallets. The ContourScanner CS1 helps improve OEE by minimizing these downtimes. Several CS1 systems are currently in operation at production sites (Heinz and Farm Dairy), with the first one having been in operation for over two years.

Examples of common packaging problems:
● Box not sealed
● Box is crookedly sealed
● Box is not sealed properly (tape is loose)
● Shrink wrap missing
● Parts protruding
Operation:
1.Learning function: Scan the correct package (the system includes a “Learning” function that records the package dimensions).
2.Setting tolerances: Enter acceptable tolerance levels.
3.Ready to use: ContourScanner is now ready to
work.

Pads and spacers improve pallet stability and help prevent product damage.
