Abstract

Method for undressing a pallet of products arranged in layers on a base, the pallet being coated with a protective film for retaining and protecting the products, the film adapted to cover the upper surface and the side surface of the pallet. The method provides for separating the protective film into two segments each having an upper flap of an upper portion of film at the upper surface of the pallet and a lower flap of a side portion of film at the side surface of the pallet. The method includes making said two segments by performing near the base a first cut extending in a substantially horizontal direction along the side surface and at least a second cut extending in a substantially vertical direction along two sides preferably opposite each other of the side surface and a third cut extending on the upper surface of the pallet.

Abstract

A process and associated apparatus (1) for picking up, transferring and depositing a whole layer of products to be palletized, the pickup apparatus (1) including a flexible loading surface (5) which is movable between two positions, a wound position for defining a bottom opening, and a deployed position for closing the opening to thereby define the loading surface, the motion being driven by an associated motor unit (17). In the pickup process, the layer of containers is reached by the flexible loading surface (5) in a wound position to be introduced in such configuration in the apparatus. The layer of containers therein introduced is transferred onto the flexible surface by retracting the pickup apparatus. Actuation occurs either after disconnecting the drive between the flexible loading surface (5) and the associated motor unit or by synchronizing the unit with the arms of the corresponding robot (2) associated to the apparatus.
