Automatic Pallet Provider

Automatic Pallet Provider

The Automatic Pallet Provider is an intelligent auxiliary system designed for automatic concrete block production lines. It functions to supply empty pallets to the block making machine in a continuous and accurate manner, ensuring smooth and efficient production without interruption.

This system replaces traditional manual pallet feeding, significantly improving production automation and labor efficiency. With PLC control, sensors, and precise mechanical transmission, it guarantees stable, reliable, and synchronized pallet supply throughout the production process.

Main Technical Data:

The Automatic Pallet Provider is compact in structure yet designed for heavy-duty industrial use.
It has an overall dimension of 4090 × 2100 × 2300 mm, allowing easy integration into standard block production layouts.
With an installation power of 7.5 kW, the system delivers stable and efficient operation, ensuring smooth pallet lifting and feeding actions with low energy consumption and high reliability.

The Automatic Pallet Provider mainly consists of the following systems:

1.Pallet Storage Device

Pallets are stacked in the storage rack and automatically separated one by one through a lifting and pushing mechanism. The capacity of the storage section can be customized according to production requirements, typically holding 10–20 pallets per cycle.

2.Pallet Feeding Device

Equipped with hydraulic or servo-driven pushing arms, the feeding system transfers each pallet smoothly onto the block machine’s pallet conveyor. The mechanism ensures precise alignment and positioning, preventing deviation or jamming.

3.Lifting Device

The vertical lifting platform is driven by a powerful hydraulic system or chain-type mechanism, ensuring stable up-and-down motion of pallet stacks. High-strength guiding rails provide durability and balance during long-term operation.

4.Control System

Controlled by a PLC with intelligent sensors, the system synchronizes perfectly with the main forming machine. It automatically detects the machine’s cycle signal and supplies pallets at the right timing, ensuring fully automated operation with minimal human intervention.

5.Safety and Maintenance

Safety sensors and protective covers are installed to guarantee operator safety. The system’s modular design allows for easy access and quick maintenance, minimizing downtime and ensuring reliable long-term performance.

The Automatic Pallet Provider is a key component in modern block making plants, enhancing automation, reducing labor costs, and contributing to the high efficiency and smart operation of the entire production line.

1.Continuous Pallet Supply:

The automatic pallet provider ensures a continuous and stable supply of empty pallets to the block making machine, maintaining smooth and uninterrupted production flow throughout the entire cycle.

2.High Efficiency:

By eliminating manual pallet handling, the system significantly increases production efficiency, reduces labor intensity, and shortens cycle time in block manufacturing operations.

3.Accurate Positioning:

Equipped with advanced sensors and PLC-controlled mechanisms, the pallet provider delivers precise pallet positioning and synchronization with the main forming machine, ensuring consistent and reliable operation.

4.Stable and Durable Operation:

Built with a robust steel frame and high-quality hydraulic or chain-driven lifting system, the pallet provider operates smoothly under heavy-duty conditions, guaranteeing long service life and minimal downtime.

5.Easy Maintenance and Safety:

Designed with an accessible structure and safety protection devices, the system allows for convenient maintenance and safe operation, ensuring reliability and operator safety during long-term use.

The Automatic Pallet Provider is widely used in fully automatic concrete block production lines for supplying empty pallets to the block making machine. It is an essential auxiliary device that ensures continuous, efficient, and precise pallet feeding during the block manufacturing process.

This system is particularly suitable for production lines manufacturing various types of concrete products, including hollow blocks, solid bricks, pavers, kerbstones, and other precast concrete elements. By automatically lifting, separating, and feeding pallets one by one to the main forming machine, it eliminates manual handling and improves overall production efficiency.

The Automatic Pallet Provider is equipped with a PLC intelligent control system, hydraulic or chain-driven lifting mechanism, and photoelectric sensors for accurate positioning and synchronization with the main machine. Its robust structure, smooth operation, and high reliability make it ideal for integration into modern block production plants.

Thanks to its compact design and easy maintenance, the system can be seamlessly combined with other automation units—such as the elevator, finger cart, and cuber system—forming a complete, intelligent, and efficient concrete block production line.
