Ska Fabricating brought its HHA 5000 automatic depalletizer to PACK EXPO East 2024. The equipment is designed for half-height pallets features electrically driven lift and sweep assembly motors that allow for smooth, reliable, and continuous operation. It securely accepts half-pallets of empty glass, aluminum, or plastic containers. Industries commonly seeking these features are spice producers, aerosol manufacturers, large container blow molders and fillers, and contract packagers, among a host of others.

The HHA 5000 features a heavy-duty tubular carbon steel frame construction, adjustable side-walls, industrial powder-coated finish for enhanced corrosion protection, steel internal side-walls and aluminum external side-walls, and an integrated, four-point cable-lift system built within the frame.  An easily adjustable elevation detection system allows for precise layer indexing, and a sweep assembly frame initiates when a downstream photo eye indicates space available. There’s also a pneumatic slip-sheet removal system and a tubular carbon steel slip-sheet cart, powder-coated safety yellow.
