Slip-free pallet stabilization

Pallet stabilization is a sustainable solution that minimizes plastic film packaging when transporting goods. PepsiCo in the Netherlands has invested in a new system that reliably secures cartons stacked on pallets to prevent slipping. The company opted for Nordson's hot melt dispensing technology and has drastically reduced adhesive costs and the number of customer complaints. “We have three palletizing systems that fully, automatically assemble and stack the cartons for the transport,” says Martijn van Zuydam, Project Manager and SPARK Line Lead Trainer at PepsiCo. “In general, each system loads 50 pallets per hour. If necessary, we can increase this to 100 pallets per hour per system. This means that up to 1,200 cartons of different sizes can be handled per hour.”
