Pallet stabilization with AntiSlip Gluing – cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution
Pallet stabilization with AntiSlip Gluing, a hot melt adhesive application directly onto the packaging units, saves resources and costs. This is different from the conventional method, where intermediate cardboard layers and external plastic foil layers add costs and increase the recycling effort.
A solution that meets today’s high requirements

Goods palletizing has extensive risks and possible problems: Containers and packages must be transported increasingly faster and more efficient. Safety aspects are as essential as the failure rate caused by damage. Environmental aspects and country-specific regulations are becoming more important. With AntiSlip Gluing offered by Robatech, you can meet these challenges automatically.
Integration into the production process

The AntiSlip Gluing solution can simply be integrated into the production process or retrofitted. Using a thin hot melt adhesive application in spiral or bead form on the top of the packaging, they become a safe and stable unit during stacking on a pallet. The AntiSlip Gluing solution can be positioned at the exit of the palletizing station, where two lines of hot melt adhesive are applied, or for the case packer, at the entry of the station, where several lanes with tracking units are glued at the same time and in parallel. The palletizing function with box counter, integrated into the Robatech pattern control, ensures that no adhesive is applied to the top layer of goods.
Sustainability in pallet stabilization thanks to optimized resources

In general, the amount of adhesive applied is optimized to ensure that the packaging units stick together reliably. Intermediate layers of anti-slip gluing cardboard can largely be omitted. To secure on the pallet, no or just a little foil is required, e.g., as dust protection. On removal of the protective foil, unit stability and goods integrity is ensured thanks to AntiSlip Gluing.

Where is this palletizing solution used?

The system solution is suitable for plastic and paper materials as well as different container and packaging types (cardboard boxes, bags, foil-wrapped packs, multi boxes, etc.).
In the case of new systems, AntiSlip Gluing pallet stabilization can be directly integrated into the system and thus into the host by the machine builder. The solution can also be operated as option or retrofit independently from the host via the Robatech pattern control.
