Recens® Column palletizer
A compact single-column palletizer that lifts 10-50 kg bags from the packing line and stacks them onto the pallet in a programmed pattern. Small footprint, PLC touch-screen control and flexible stacking formats.
Applications
The Recens® Column Palletizer is a compact, single-column automatic palletizing system built for the end of a bag or carton packing line. A rigid horizontal arm travels on a rotating column and carries a servo-driven gripper that lifts each bag from the infeed conveyor and places it on the pallet according to a programmed stacking pattern. The machine stands on a base only a little larger than the pallet itself, so it brings full palletizing automation into a space that most existing packing lines can absorb without civil works — and because the column rotates through 180°, the pallet can be fed and discharged from the same side, keeping the operator and the forklift out of the stacking zone.
Key Features
• Compact single-column design — small floor footprint, no pit and no special foundation required
• Servo-driven axes with precision RV reducers for fast, repeatable positioning layer after layer
• PLC control with a colour touch-screen panel — new stacking patterns can be created or edited on site, without calling the supplier
• Handles 10 – 50 kg bags, including aerated and powder-filled bags, using partial-overlap stacking patterns
• Pneumatic clamp gripper as standard; suction and combined clamp-and-suction heads available for cartons and film-wrapped packs
• Automatic pallet magazine and powered pallet discharge conveyor optional, so a full pallet leaves the cell without a forklift entering it
• Safety guarding, light curtain and emergency stop as standard, with the operator side kept clear by the rotating column
• Can be combined with a pallet press, stretch wrapper and label applicator for a complete end-of-line solution
Applications
Finished-goods packing lines where filled bags or cartons have to be stacked onto a pallet

Why Recens
Recens has equipped grain, fertilizer, chemical and building-material plants with conveying, bagging and palletizing lines for over two decades. A column palletizer is built around the bag, the pallet and the space that actually exists at the end of the line, and the stacking pattern is proved out before the machine ships. Recens also supplies the pallet press, the stretch wrapper and the conveyor sections that go with it, so the end of the line is one supplier’s responsibility instead of three.

Customer benefits
Full palletizing automation in a footprint that most existing packing lines can absorb, so the project usually needs no building work
One operator can run the end of the line instead of a team lifting bags onto pallets all shift
Consistent, tight stacking patterns mean pallets travel better and arrive at the customer in better condition
A change of bag size or pallet type is a matter of editing the pattern, not calling out a service engineer
Built for decades of reliable service, delivering dependable quality that saves you time and money
Recens field service technicians to provide site supervision service from installation and scale-up to 24/7 ongoing support
