One-process pallet sorting and repair line at James Jones maximizes efficiency for IPP Pool pallets
At James Jones in England, Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS) has installed a pallet sorting and repair line specifically designed to handle IPP Pool pallets. This fully modular setup combines high sorting capacity with an optimized repair process, allowing operators to work more efficiently and achieve higher production rates.
Setup of the line
1. Double infeed line with 2 sorters:
Outside, unsorted stacks of pallets are fed through two chain conveyors. Two sorters together inspect and sort more than **700 pallets per hour**. Good pallets are automatically discharged centrally between the two supply lines, while repair pallets are routed to the repair process.
2. Supply via the top lane:
Only pallets in need of repair are supplied via the overhead conveyor to the ten repair workstations. This eliminates unnecessary work for the repairers and increases productivity by up to 35%.
3. Repair workstations:
Ten operators repair pallets according to requirements. The ergonomically designed workstations and efficient supply of pallets contribute to a smooth process.
4. Pallet Paintbooth:
Repaired pallets are sprayed one by one in a special pallet paintbooth, which ensures a uniform finish and protection of the pallets.
5. Disposal to one stacker:
After repair, pallets are centrally discharged to a single stacker, where they are sorted and stacked. This stacker handles both repaired pallets and good pallets coming directly from the sorting process.
Technology and monitoring
SCADA system:
The integrated SCADA system provides daily reports on production and sorting by operator. This gives James Jones real-time insight into line performance and supports optimization.
PSS App:
Through the PSS App, managers and operators have live access to pallet line data. This allows them to respond immediately to changes in production.
Benefits for James Jones
1. High sorting capacity:
With two sorters combining to sort more than 700 pallets per hour, James Jones can meet the high demands of IPP Pool pallets.
2. Efficient recovery process:
Through the top lane, repairers receive only pallets that actually need repair, providing a 35% increase in productivity.
3. Flexible modular setup:
PSS’s modular approach makes the line easily adaptable to future needs, such as higher volumes or additional functionalities.
4. Quality control and finishing:
The addition of a pallet paintbooth ensures that all repaired pallets are immediately ready for use and meet quality requirements.
5. Real-time monitoring:
The SCADA system and PSS App provide full visibility into line performance and support better decision-making.
