Furman Foods: Depalletizing

At this canner of tomatoes, tomato sauces, canned beans and related products, filled, unlabeled steel cans arrive stacked in layers on pallets.

Aug 31, 2001

At a rate of 4 layers/min, a fully automatic arm on the Whallon Machinery depalletizer lifts each can layer using a magnetic plate and rotates it over to release the cans onto an accumulation table leading to the labeling and tray packing operations.
