EvoFlex

EvoFlex® is Sidel's high speed single column palletizer, suitable for any speed application. Flexible and versatile, it handles all product and pallet types without manual adjustment, with automatic changeovers performed in less than one minute. 

Fast, automatic changeovers 

EvoFlex® guarantees fast changeovers: in less than one minute, changeovers are performed automatically without any manual intervention. 

Low-level infeed: accessibility, safety and lower cost 

EvoFlex® has a low-level infeed, providing high accessibility and better visibility. All operations are at ground floor, effectively eliminating health and safety risks. Compared with a high-level infeed, it removes the need for a pack elevator, stairs and elevated platforms. As fewer conveyors are needed, CAPEX is naturally lower, while simplified maintenance with easy access to machine parts allows for reduced OPEX. EvoFlex® brings down total cost of ownership. 

Central column and roller head 

The high speed palletizer is built around a central column and a roller head. 

HMI and place programming software 

Additional features include the EvoFlex® HMI and place programming software, with various control system platforms available. Operators get full and easy access to, and control over, all machine parameters by means of a 10" touchscreen main control panel and an additional 6" mobile touchscreen. The EIT™ (Efficiency Improvement Tool) can be integrated for machine and line supervision. 

Pad dispenser 

EvoFlex® has a pad dispenser capable of handling different pad materials, dimensions and thicknesses. 

Pallet handling layout 

For pallet handling operations, EvoFlex® can be designed and supplied in a tailor-made layout that fits factory flows and space constraints. All conveying modules are available: roller and chain conveyors, rotating and 90° tables, elevators. A comprehensive range of pallet handling devices, such as pallet magazines and a pallet inspection system, is also available. 

Features

  • Layer preparation with belt conveyor for accurate handling of unstable packs.
  • No pusher: carriage simply based on its inertia.
  • High friction belt to allow smooth layer transfers, suitable for any type of product surface.
  • Additional layer accumulating table for high-speed applications.
  • Vertical moving belt conveyor taking the already formed layer and transferring it to the roller head.

Central column

  • Double lifting unit on a single column.
  • Brushless self-braking motors equipped with an encoder for vertical movement.
  • Simple motion technology: armored driving belts, no chains.

Roller head

  • Composed of a motorized roller table and 4 lateral compacting guides driven by brushless motors.
  • Transfer in roller head based on layer inertia (no additional motorization and pusher needed).
  • Head opening in 2 halves to release the layer onto the pallet/standing layer.

  • Empty pallet stopped by pneumatically driven mechanical retainer.
  • Presence and correct positioning of the pallet by 2 safety photocells.

Additional features include the EvoFlex® HMI and place programming software, with its various control system platforms available. With this software, operators get full and easy access to, and control over all machine’s parameters, by means of a 10” touchscreen main control panel and an additional 6” mobile touchscreen. There is also the possibility of integrating the EIT™ (Efficiency Improvement Tool) for machine and line supervision.

EvoFlex® has a pad dispenser capable of handling different pad materials, dimensions and thicknesses. It is equipped with:

  • Rotating arm equipped with suction cups.
  • Precise positioning of the pad onto the pallet/standing layer.
  • Brush less motorization for high speed version.
  • Manual or automatic pad magazine loading.
