ROTOM (formerly Lievaart & Slaghuis) has the standard pallet sorting line with Nail Press from PSS

ROTOM in 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, ROTOM can now ergonomically and reliably sort the most common pallet types, such as Euro pallets, industrial pallets, 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 ROTOM can sort multiple pallet types directly, without wasting time on manual reconfigurations. These include:

• Europallet types like there are light, middle and heavy weight. 
• Industrial pallets there are light, middle and heavy weight. 

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

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.

Added a Pallet nailpress
A major advantage is the option to expand the sorting line with a pallet Nailpress. This system automatically Presses the nails back in the deck during the sorting process before stacking them.

Additional Options for Enhanced Functionality
The standard pallet sorting line from PSS can be customized and expanded to meet the specific needs of ROTOM. 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.

Reliable Performance and Flexibility
The PSS pallet sorting line offers a modular and flexible solution, tailored to the logistical processes of ROTOM. With its combination of speed, automation, and expandable options, the sorting line can be adapted to meet future requirements and developments.
