SP4000 Palletizer

Columbia Machine announces the New SP4000 Palletizer with Bi-Parting Stripper Apron; a small footprint, high-level, high capacity palletizer capable of forming complex patterns with gaps in both directions. The features of the SP4000 combined with Columbia’s state-of-the-art Product Manager controls package offers users an easy-to-operate palletizer that will meet current and future pattern needs. Features of the SP4000 include a bi-parting stripper apron, articulating row pusher bar, centering side layer guides with Smart Squeeze technology, Columbia’s new pacer/meter belt all in a compact footprint. The bi-parting stripper apron combined with the case stops in the row forming area allows the SP4000 to create gaps front-to-back and side-to-side in a layer. An articulating row pusher bar maintains a square position against the row of product, ensuring even and consistent contact with the product. Centering side layer guides with Smart Squeeze technology recognize the correct orientation of the product pattern and maintains product and package integrity. Columbia’s new Dual Direct Drive Pacer/Meter Belt comes standard on the SP4000 and includes a VFD on the pacer belt. The compact footprint and flexible layouts available increases palletizer space efficiency making the SP4000 a high performance solution; ideal for both new and retrofit applications, especially where layout constraints are present.
