Floor Level Palletizer with Integrated Stretch Wrapper

Columbia Machine introduced the FLD2500-SW, a floor-level infeed conventional palletizer equipped with a fully integrated stretch wrapper.

The innovative turntable-style stretch wrapper allows for concurrent “stack-and-wrap” load building, achieving rates previously unattainable in the industry.

Key takeaways:

• Featuring a dual hoist design combined with an electric overhead row pusher, the FLD2500-SW significantly reduces its footprint—by 40%—compared to other floor-level palletizers with similar throughput capacities.
• The incorporation of servo technology enables numerically controlled movement and positioning for both hoists, resulting in faster and more accurate machine operations. This enhances overall throughput and simplifies setup and programming.
• The FLD2500-SW is versatile, capable of palletizing and stretch wrapping a wide variety of package types, including unwrapped trays, high center of gravity (CG) cases, and film-only bundles.
• Additional options include smart diagnostics with video playback for maintenance assistance, a servo-actuated touchless turning infeed for gentle package handling, display-ready case orienting, and various dispensers for slip sheets and tier sheets.
