Most disruptions in a production line are caused by poorly packaged products. Issues such as inconsistent packaging shapes or dimensions can significantly reduce Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Additionally, defective packaging that reaches the palletizing machine can lead to improperly stacked pallets. The ContourScanner CS1 helps improve OEE by minimizing these disruptions.

Why automated intermediate sheet placement improves pallet stability

The Sheetrunner SR2 automates placing intermediate sheets between product layers in automated palletizing systems. It improves stability, reduces damage, and also handles slip sheets.

Intermediate sheet placement is a critical step in any automated palletizing process. The Qimarox Sheetrunner SR2 automates this task by placing sheets—also known as layer pads or interlayers—between product layers. Whether stacking boxes, bags, or crates, proper sheet placement helps prevent shifting and ensures secure, transport-ready pallet loads.

Layer pads provide friction and distribute weight evenly, protecting goods from sliding or being damaged. This is especially valuable when palletizing smooth packaging, fragile items, or uneven products. Automating intermediate sheet placement eliminates manual errors and increases throughput.

Why automated intermediate sheet placement improves pallet stability

Placing intermediate sheets is a vital component of any automated palletizing system. The Qimarox Sheetrunner SR3 lines this process by automatically inserting sheets - commonly referred to as interlayers or layer pads -between product tiers. Whether dealing with boxes, crates, or bags, precise sheet placement minimizes movement and keeps pallet loads stable and ready for transport.

Layer pads increase friction and help distribute weight evenly, reducing the risk of damage and shifting - especially important when handling delicate items, slick surfaces, or irregularly shaped goods. Automating this step not only reduces human error but also boosts operational efficiency.

Flexible palletizer for frozen food, mainly vegetables, fries & fruits

The Highrunner HR8 is designed for palletizing IQF products (cartons containing frozen food, mainly vegetables, fries & fruits) and has handling capacities of 900 – 1,800 products per hour.

Palletizing cartons with IQF products comes with many challenges different from any other industry. With many installations over the past decades Qimarox has proven to offer the best solution to deal with these challenges. With the Palletizer Highrunner HR8 for IQF products we developed a special configuration that is focused on handling cartons that are not completely filled to the top or are so full they are bulged on each side. The HR8 layer palletizer comes with all layer patterns known to the sector already programmed. These patterns  can be selected automatically without any  manual adjustment needed.

Highrunner HR9 Logistics Palletizer - Flexible palletizer for logistic operations

The Qimarox Highrunner HR9 Logistics palletizer is specially designed for logistic operations. Therefore, this machine is very effective where many different products are handled in short batches. Our unique and patented layer-formation system can generate a large variety of layer patterns. These patterns can be selected automatically or generated by the state-of-the-art pattern generator. A specially designed pattern generator will present to you the most optimal layer pattern according to box size and pallet size. As example, if the installation is equipped with a full 3D product scanner it is even possible to have the system working fully autonomously. 

Because the pattern formation system is at high level and the pallet is moving up and down with the pallet lift, (Qimarox Prorunner mk10) higher throughputs can be achieved. The top of the pallet is consequently always located at the same level as the pattern-formation conveyor. As a result higher layer capacity is possible as stacking plates can receive a new layer quickly after a layer is placed onto a pallet.

Palletizer designed for beverage industry

The Highrunner HR10 is a palletizer designed for the beverage industry and has handling capacities of 900 – 1,500 products per hour. Reinforced layer handling to handle layers weights up to 280 kg. Motorized layer restraints ensure perfect layer positioning.

Within the beverage industry there are several challenges to address if  you are looking to automate the palletizing process. 

The Qimarox HR10 Palletizer for Beverage industry is designed to deal with the main topic within this industry; which is the overall throughput of a production line. This required throughput exceeds the need from many other industries. By using the advantages of a high-level infeed machine based on the Highrunner HR7 the Qimarox HR10 palletizer can realize a high throughput in combination with high flexibility. Next to that the layer weight can be much higher compared to other industries. The layer handling system of this palletizer can handle layer weights up to 280kg.

Change over time of empty pallets and loaded pallets is minimized by having a buffer position for an empty pallet directly in front of the loading position. As soon as a loaded pallet is transported out of the system an empty pallet is transported into position. While moving up the empty pallet is centered and aligned to receive the first layer. The unique layer formation ensures that a layer is produced at high rate. By adding a buffer position for a complete layer the layer formation will not come to a stop at change of pallets.

The Highrunner HR11 is a palletizer designed for the canned food industry and has handling capacities of 600 – 2,400 products per hour with a single infeed and 1200 – 4380 products per hour with a double infeed.

The Qimarox Highrunner HR11 palletizer is specially designed to automate the palletizing process in the canned foods industry. In this industry, efficiency, consistency, and safety are important.
