Benefits of Automated Beverage Palletizing
Craft breweries. Distilleries. Hard cider producers. Did someone say probiotic soda pop or kombucha? We respect the care and attention that goes into creating your beverages. We put the same care and attention into our work, too.
If you’re looking to take your product to a larger audience while maintaining quality, managing labor shortages and costs, our fully integrated robotic palletizing systems can help.
We support the beverage industry through careful automation for all types of beverage packaging, including cases and trays of glass, plastic, and canned products, as well as cartons and shelf-ready displays. Let us design and integrate an end-of-line packaging and palletizing system to meet your needs.

Importance of Skilled Integrators for the Beverage Industry
Because cases are the most common secondary packaging for beverages, they’re easily palletized with clamp-style end effectors (grippers) on our industrial robotic palletizers. These machines can handle heavy payloads seen with glass bottled beverages such as wines, liquors, and liqueurs.
We’ve successfully integrated our palletizing systems with specialized peripheral equipment common in the beverage industry such as soft turn infeed conveyors, case turners, printers, barcode readers, and more. Our experienced team ensures everything communicates with each other to keep your lines moving as fast and efficiently as possible.
Automate Palletizing for Your Canned Beverage Products
A Columbia/Okura palletizing robot uses a fork-style end effector to pick and place beverage cans in trays from the conveyor to the palletizer. We can design our robots to address almost any beverage application and deliver a turnkey, end-of-line automation for your production facility.
Explore Robotic Palletizing Solutions for Your Glass Bottle Products
Using a clamp-style end effector, the Columbia/Okura robot stacks boxes of glass water bottles in a unique pattern to create a tight and stable load on the pallet. We provide complete integration services so your new palletizer will work seamlessly with your upstream and downstream equipment.
"We currently have three Columbia/Okura robots, two of which are over 10 years in operation. Problems have been few and far between. With another large project involving palletizers in the works, I know that I can count on Columbia/Okura to get the necessary results."
