Pallet Dispenser with Pusher
This pallet dispenser is designed for use in mixed case palletizing operations. The dispenser operates as a typical pallet dispenser accepting a stack of pallets. Once loaded, an operator can remotely activate the dispenser from an overhead pull cord. A single pallet will drop onto a shuttle cart that traverses underneath the dispenser. The cart will actuate to its outer limit upon which a set of pneumatically actuated fingers will lower behind the pallet. The cart will then retract causing the pallet to drop onto the slider plate below.
An operator can then pick up the empty pallet for picking. Once the pallet has been built, an operator will place it back in the load position. The loaded pallet will be pushed down a lane when the next pallet is dropped off. This process will continue until the lane is full.
