Pallet fabriek R. Derksen: DE standaard palletsorteerlijn van PSS voor efficiënte palletsortering en klassseficering

Derksen Pallets, uses the standard Pallet Sorting Line from PSS for efficient sorting and classifing

Derksen Pallets in the Netherlands has chosen the standard pallet sorting line from Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS). This solution provides an efficient way to sort and manage pallets, with a processing capacity of up to 550 pallets per hour. With just one sorter and one forklift operator, Derksen Pallets GmbH can now ergonomically and reliably sort the most common pallet types, such as Euro pallets, industrial pallets, light, middle-weight and heavy and pool pallets (LPR, IPP, CHEP).

Efficient Sorting Without Adjustments
The PSS pallet sorting line enables the fast processing of pallets without adjustments. This means that Derksen Pallets can sort multiple pallet types directly, without wasting time on manual reconfigurations. These include:

• Euro pallets types like light, middle-weight and heavy
• Industrial pallets like light, middle-weight and heavy
• And Pool pallets, such as LPR, IPP, and CHEP

With the PSS sorting line, pallets are sorted consistently and efficiently, significantly simplifying the workflow at Derksen Pallets.

Ergonomic and Efficient Operations
The pallet sorting line is designed with a strong focus on ergonomics. Sorting occurs at a comfortable working height, reducing physical strain on employees. Forklift operators benefit from automated infeed and outfeed, which results in:

• Reduced physical strain for employees.
• Efficient forklift routes for smoother operations.
• Improved safety on the work floor with less forklift traffic.

Expandable with a Pallet Repair Line
A major advantage for Derksen Pallets is the option to expand the sorting line with a pallet repair line. This system automatically directs only the pallets that need repair to the repair stations. Both infeed and outfeed are fully automated. This provides:

• Efficient workflows: Repair operators receive only the pallets that require repairs.
• Automated processes: Fewer manual forklift movements.
• Optimized resource use: Sorters, repair operators, and forklift drivers work more efficiently together.

Additional Options for Enhanced Functionality
The standard pallet sorting line from PSS can be customized and expanded to meet the specific needs of Derksen Pallets. Available options include:

• Paintbooth: For professional pallet painting.
• Nail press: Automatic repair of damaged pallet components.
• Corner saw: For precise finishing of pallet corners.
• EPAL nail gun: Automatic nailing according to EPAL standards.
• SCADA system: Generates a CSV file with sorting data, such as pallet counts and types per hour.
• PSS App: Provides live information on the sorting process, accessible worldwide.
