Verahpal Germany Optimizes Pallet Management With Combined Sorting And Repair Line From PSS

Verahpal, Germany optimizes pallet management with combined sorting and repair line from Pallet Sorting Systems

Verahpal, a leading name in the German pallet industry, has implemented a combined pallet sorting and repair line from Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS). This integration helps Verahpal optimize processes, enhance efficiency, and improve working conditions for their staff. With a capacity of up to 550 pallets per hour, this solution represents a significant step toward modernization and innovation in pallet processing.

A comprehensive solution for pallet sorting and repair

The combined line from PSS provides Verahpal with a full  approach to sorting and repairing pallets. Incoming pallets are first sorted, with those requiring repairs directed to the repair line via the upper conveyor. Reusable pallets are sent through the lower conveyor for further sorting or reuse. This configuration not only streamlines the process but also significantly reduces forklift movements. Forklift operators no longer need to manually transport small stacks of pallets to different stations, resulting in shorter lead times and a more efficient workflow.

High capacity and modular flexibility

With a capacity of up to 550 pallets per hour, the PSS line plays a key role in increasing Verahpal’s productivity. Its modular design enables seamless switching between different pallet types, such as Europallets, GMA pallets, and block pallets, without time-consuming adjustments. This flexibility makes the line exceptionally well-suited to the diverse needs of Verahpal’s customers.

The system is operated by just one operator and one forklift driver, reducing labor costs while ensuring consistent quality and accuracy in both sorting and repairs.

Ergonomics and improved working conditions

The combined line is designed with a focus on ergonomics and ease of use. Pallets requiring repairs are delivered via the upper conveyor at an ideal working height, minimizing heavy lifting and unnecessary bending. This directly improves working conditions and reduces physical strain on repair staff.

Repaired pallets are automatically transported via the lower conveyor to the appropriate stacks or sorting areas. This efficient system increases the productivity of repair staff by more than 35%, enabling Verahpal to repair more pallets in the same amount of time.

Real-time monitoring and data-driven efficiency

The SCADA interface (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) provides operators and managers with real-time insights into the performance of the combined line. Key metrics, such as sorting speed and the number of repaired pallets, can be easily tracked and analyzed. This enables Verahpal to quickly identify bottlenecks and implement improvements, continuously enhancing efficiency.

Additionally, the line is equipped with the PSS app, allowing Verahpal’s team to monitor processes remotely. This data-driven approach supports better decision-making and helps optimize daily operations.

Key benefits of the combined pallet sorting and repair line offers Verahpal a wide range of advantages:

• High capacity: Processes up to 550 pallets per hour.
• Ergonomics: Improved working conditions with automated delivery and removal at an ergonomic height.
• Efficiency: Reduces forklift movements up to 50%
• Flexibility: Quickly adapts to different pallet types without downtime.
• Real-time monitoring: Provides process insights via SCADA and the PSS mobile app.

Future-focused pallet processing

With the combined pallet sorting and repair line, Verahpal is making a significant leap in the pallet industry. By investing in PSS technology, Verahpal not only strengthens its market position but also enhances its internal processes and customer satisfaction.

This innovative approach enables faster, more efficient, and sustainable operations, preparing Verahpal for future challenges in the pallet industry. At PSS, we remain dedicated to delivering high-quality solutions that help companies like Verahpal achieve their goals and excel in their industry.
