Foresco sort & repair Veghel BV, optimizes operations with Pallet Sorting Systems
Foresco Sort & Repair Veghel BV has taken a significant step in modernizing its pallet processing operations by investing in a pallet sorting line from Pallet Sorting Systems. This investment replaces an older system and introduces features tailored to the company’s specific operational needs. Originally designed for vd Anker Pallets, the sorting line was seamlessly integrated into Foresco’s operations following their acquisition, enabling more efficient sorting, storage, and preparation of pallets for repair.
Innovation: dual feed line for continuous operation
One of the key features of the new sorting line is its dual feed line. This functionality allows an entire truckload of pallets to be buffered, ensuring that the sorting system operates continuously without interruptions. Pallets are smoothly fed into the sorting process, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput. Thanks to this increased efficiency, Foresco can handle larger volumes of pallets while optimizing processing speed.
Flexible sorting: 8 pallet types with automation
The sorting line includes a process capable of categorizing pallets into eight different types. Europallets and other standard formats are efficiently sorted, while damaged pallets are automatically interlocked (stacked) and directed to a repair section. This reduces manual handling, accelerates workflows, and ensures that pallets are quickly prepared for reuse or repair with minimal effort. The system is optimized for automatic adjustments between various pallet formats, making it ideal for companies handling diverse pallet types, including Europallets, Chep, LPR, IPP and industrial pallets.
Custom adaptations for seamless integration
Originally designed for vd Anker Pallets, the sorting line features unique functionalities, such as outline stackers that discharge pallets on their long side. These stackers can buffer 4 to 6 stacks of pallets, ensuring a smooth workflow with minimal manual intervention. After Foresco’s acquisition, the system was adapted to their specific operational environment, demonstrating the flexibility of Pallet Sorting Systems’ solutions.
Efficiency and ergonomics for forklift operators
The sorting line offers significant benefits for forklift operators. Unsourced pallet stacks can be placed directly onto the feed line, while sorted pallets are removed quickly and efficiently. This reduces the number of forklift movements with 50%, enhancing workplace productivity. Fewer forklift operations also translate to lower maintenance costs and less wear on equipment.
High output and consistent quality
Designed for speed and precision, the Pallet Sorting Systems sorting line processes 400 to 550 pallets per hour, with a cycle time of just 6 seconds per pallet. The ergonomic design allows operators to visually inspect pallets for defects such as loose parts or labels, while the machine handles the heavy lifting of sorting and stacking. This improves efficiency and ensures employee safety and comfort.
