Ellermann Paletten has equipped its new pallet repair line with the Pallet Multi Sorter. This technology not only enhances the efficiency of pallet management but also contributes to a more ergonomic working environment for Ellermann’s pallet repairers.
Ergonomic benefits for pallet repairers
One of the most significant advantages of the new pallet repair line is the improvement it brings to the workflow of pallet repairers. Thanks to the advanced feeding and discharge system, repairers no longer need to manually handle pallets for repair and sorting. Instead, pallets are automatically fed into the system and efficiently discharged after repair. This significantly reduces the physical strain on employees, making their work both more ergonomic and efficient.
The automated feeding system lowers the risk of physical complaints and increases productivity by approximately 35%. Repairers can focus entirely on their core tasks, resulting in higher output and a greater number of repaired and sorted pallets per day.
Efficient sorting with the Pallet Multi Sorter
The Pallet Multi Sorter provides an effective solution for sorting different pallet formats. The machine can process and sort up to ten different types of pallets simultaneously, increasing both the flexibility and speed of operations. This allows Ellermann to meet a wide range of customer demands, from standard Europallets to non-standard formats.
The combination of the Multi Sorter and the Pallet Repair System ensures seamless integration of stacking and sorting processes. This enables faster and more accurate operations without the need for manual sorting or stacking, significantly reducing throughput times.
Optimizing forklift movements and the work environment
Another key advantage of this technology is the optimization of forklift movements. Forklift operators can place stacks of unsorted pallets onto the sorting line in a single motion and retrieve sorted pallets in one go. This minimizes forklift activity with 50% on the shop floor, improving efficiency and streamlining workflows.
With the new repair line, a single operator can sort and repair approximately 200 pallets per day. The automation of the sorting process ensures high output without requiring additional personnel, leading to increased productivity.
Sustainability and efficiency in pallet management
Our partnership with Ellermann Paletten is focused on fostering innovation and sustainability within the pallet industry. By leveraging technologies such as the Multi Sorter and repair line, companies can make their processes more efficient while contributing to sustainable pallet management. Repairing and reusing pallets reduces waste and extends their lifecycle, offering both economic and environmental benefits.
Looking ahead to further innovation
With the successful implementation of the Pallet Multi Sorter and repair line at Ellermann Paletten, we are taking a significant step in transforming the pallet processing industry. This collaboration demonstrates how technology can contribute to more efficient, ergonomic, and sustainable pallet management.
As PSS, we remain committed to innovation and exploring new opportunities to deliver solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers and the industry. We look forward to future collaborations and the development of technologies that continue to set new standards in pallet processing.
