Almac Industrial Systems designs pallet centering devices that square and position loads on the conveyor pallet bed before they enter strapping, stretch wrapping, or other end-of-line equipment. These units are used extensively in the corrugated industry, where stacks of sheets or finished boxes must be accurately aligned to avoid strap damage and misfeeds.
Pallet Centering for Corrugated Lines
Centering stations use opposing-side pushers or clamps to gently push loads toward the conveyor’s centerline, correcting skew and consolidating loose stacks. Heads are shaped to contact bottom dunnage and pallet edges, ensuring that even uneven or shifted loads are brought into square without crushing the product.
Side Pushers and Clamps for Accurate Squaring
Devices can be installed ahead of automatic strapping machines, stretch hooders, or palletizers, and are integrated with conveyor controls for fully automatic operation.
Integrated with Strapping and Wrapping Systems
Sensors confirm when centering is complete, so downstream equipment only cycles on a properly aligned pallet, improving package quality, machine uptime, and operator safety.
