Holz Paletten Zentrum (HPZ) Ilsfeld, Germany chooses Pallet Sorting Systems

Holz Paletten Zentrum, based in Germany, recently invested in a standard pallet sorting line from Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS). With this modern installation, the company is taking an important step in optimizing their pallet management. The sorting line offers a combination of efficiency, ergonomics and safety and is designed to meet the high demands of the pallet industry.

Efficient sorting with minimal manpower

One of the most important advantages of the PSS pallet sorting line is the ability to sort up to 550 pallets per hour. This is achieved with just one operator and one forklift driver. By minimizing the manpower required, Holz Paletten Zentrum not only saves on labor costs, but also increases the efficiency of the work process.

The line is suitable for sorting the most common types of pallets, such as Europallets, industrial pallets, light, medium and heavy pallets, as well as CHEP, LPR and IPP pallets. This wide range of applications makes the system flexible for use with different types of pallet flows and requirements.

Ergonomic design for better working conditions

During the design of the sorting line, a lot of attention was paid to ergonomics. Employees are relieved of heavy physical labor because the machine takes over these tasks. This not only reduces the risk of work-related injuries, but also improves the overall work experience. This contributes to a healthier work environment and employee satisfaction.

Thanks to the smart integration of automated processes, employees have fewer repetitive tasks to worry about, allowing them to work more efficiently and focus on quality control and other valuable activities.

Real-time insight and reporting with SCADA and PSS App

An important aspect of the PSS pallet sorting line is the extensive data reporting and monitoring. Using the integrated SCADA software, managers can gain detailed insight into the performance of the sorting line via daily CSV reports. These reports include information on the number of pallets sorted and operational efficiency.

For even greater ease of use, the PSS App offers real-time access to live data from the sorting line. Whether you are in the office or on the road, the app allows you to monitor the progress of the sorting process and respond quickly to any deviations. This functionality enables Holz Paletten Zentrum to better plan and optimize production.

Safety and cost savings as a priority

Safety plays a central role in PSS designs. The sorting line is equipped with advanced security features to minimize workplace risks. Automation minimizes human error, contributing to a safer working environment.

Choosing the PSS is a logical choice that immediately leads to great efficiency at HPZ and is flexible and future-oriented.

1. • The advantage of sorting. One operator and one forklift driver can process 550 pallets per hour, which means enormous savings: two to three sorters and more than 50% of the forklift movements needed for manual sorting.
   • Advantage for pallet repair. Because the machine immediately separates the good pallets from the pallets that need to be repaired, pallet repairmen only have pallets on their workbench that need to be repaired, which directly improves their efficiency.
   • Expansion in the future. The machine has a modular design made up of standard machine parts, making it easy to expand with a pallet repair unit, paint booth to give pallets a new coat of paint and/or pallet press to really push the nails back into the deck. Of course, more is possible.
