Cold End Conveyors

The Right Decision For Each Container, In Every Zone

Someone holds the cold end conveyors just a whole of sprockets and chains maybe even achievable with commercial modules. Who well knows the Glass-Works, on the contrary, is perfectly aware that every single meter of the line hides secrets which are vital to ensure the effective operation of the system. It goes without saying that only the hard-earned experience on the field allows to develop new solutions and to build up the knowledge that helps in finding and applying the best solutions matching with the customer needs such as:

type and mix of containers to be handled;
line speed;
type and speed of the inspection machines;
available space;
required level of automation;
previous specific experiences of the glasswork;
opening to future needs etc.

The Zecchetti know how, acquired over decades of experience, allows to choose the best solution to make every cold end line tailored on the needs of their customers.

Solutions For Sorting And Decoration

Compact and Flexible

Thanks to the wide range of palletizers and depalletizers developed in the 50-year-long-activity Zecchetti can provide interesting solutions for the sorting and decoration processes. In particular, the flexibility and modularity of the rotary column permit to create, with a unique machine, multifunction isles, extremely compact and functional for palletizing and depalletizing. The degree of automation too can be tailored to specific needs without preventing a future automation upgrade. These features make the Zecchetti solutions ideal for the sorting and decoration processes.

T-PAL Multi-Purpose Inline-Palletizer

Space Saving Footprint Subsequent Upgrades

The in-line type palletizer mod. T-PAL represents an alternative to the rotary column machine and is, of course, equally valid. A static column supporting a horizontal beam is the core aruond which the machine may be composed following available space, requested automation degree, necessary palletizing mode/s. The T-PAL modularity is the ideal solution for short, medium and long term investment.

R-PAL Multi-Purpose Rotary Column Palletizer

One Choice, Max Flexibility

The rotary column type palletizer mod. R-PAL M.P.H. (Multi-Purpose Head) is the highest expression of important features such as flexibility and accessibility. Its modular design allows it to match, even in the future, with any type of layout, production and article. In fact, it makes possible to both operate in "sweep-off" and in "pick-and-place" mode with the advantage that such a decision can be taken any time in the future, not necessarily at the time of purchasing. The 3-axis manipulation design, born 30 years ago and realized with the Zecchetti rotating column, has been developed over the years to increase reliability, flexibility and performance. Its success was enhanced by over 1000 units in operation worldwide, 300 of them in glass plants.

Stacker

Handling Of Every Container, No Matter Which Shaper

Thanks to its experience "in the field" Zecchetti knows that the stackers and more generally the layer formation phases are perhaps the most important palletizing operations. Indeed this is the first area where containers of whichever shape must be prepared in a decisive and precise way to achieve all of the "infinite" palletizing patterns the glassworks are expected to create to meet the needs of their customers. It is just for this reason that Zecchetti proposes a wide and advanced range of options in terms of speed, number of feeding lanes, equipment dedicated to special shaped containers, automation options, etc. The ultimate goal is to have the best solution tailored to the specific needs of each client.
