Benefits of Robotic Palletizing Systems for Chemicals and Petrochemicals

Protect your brand integrity, employees, and your bottom line with a partner that works carefully and as hard as you do.

We understand the challenges of working with hazardous materials. Specific safety standards and corrosive materials make conventional palletizers unsuitable in facilities where chemicals and petrochemicals are manufactured. For our partners in these industries, we deliver robots customized to withstand exposure to chemical hazards.

We support the chemicals and petrochemicals industries with safety-oriented automation for all types of products including motor oil, resin pallets, fertilizers, and more.

Flexible Layouts

Our flexible systems can be configured to work within your existing facility’s space and layout requirements.

Custom Solutions

Your system will be designed for your application, including custom paints, wiring, and control panel vents depending on your product type.

High-speed

Move more product at higher speeds with more safety. Rely on our chemicals industry expertise to maintain safety standards.

Employee Retention

Improve job satisfaction and employee retention by reducing employees’ exposure to fertilizers, chemicals, corrosive and hazardous materials.

Experienced Systems Integrators for the Chemical Industry

Whether your products are in bags, cases, or drums, our robotic systems have the handling and programming capabilities to efficiently palletize your chemical or petrochemical products.

Many petrochemicals are delivered in cases for retail consumption. Peripheral upstream equipment includes barcode scanners and printers to track and sort and lane diverters for multi-line applications. To ensure the correct orientation for robotic picking, soft turn conveyors gently rotate cases.

For bagged chemical products, we have automatic bag machines that can handle form fit seal packing. Chemical or petrochemical products packaged in drums will be very heavy and may require a heavy duty arm solution. Our experienced team ensures you have the right equipment, set up optimally, to keep your lines moving as fast and safely as possible.

Palletizing Robot with Custom End Effector for the Chemical Industry

We designed a Columbia/Okura palletizing robot with a custom vacuum-style and clamp-style end effector to meet this customer’s unique product and multi-line needs. When standard, off-the-shelf products do not fit your requirements, we will design a custom palletizing system to meet your needs.

Speed Up Palletizing with Multi-Pick Automation

This Columbia/Okura LLC robot utilizes a clamp-style end effector that can pick up multiple products. This speeds up the palletizing process while maintaining a tight pallet load. Robotic palletizing improves efficiency and reduces costs while offering more consistent stacking.
