Our Pallet Changers

The most recent development in Premier's range is the Pallet Changer. The concept is to provide totally hands-free pallet exchange and Premier have made constant improvements to this system over the last 10 years to make it the versatile unit it is today. A great number of Pallet Changers sold to date have been to the pharmaceutical industries and although it is the most expensive machine in Premier's inverter range, it has proved to be ideal in eliminating manual handling.

The Pallet Changer is totally automated, plc controlled and has a series of operating functions. When the "start sequence" control is activated, grippers capture the pallet hydraulically, the top clamp table descends onto the top of the stack and the two sidewalls move inwards to contain the load. The machine then tips back until the load is on its back at which point the lower table returns to floor level with the empty pallet. This is then substituted for the new pallet and the operator can proceed to start the return sequence. This whole procedure takes less than 2 minutes in total (including the time it takes for the user to take away the old pallet and replace it with the new one).
