Ska Fabricating has launch the International Microbus, the world’s smallest footprint semi-automated depalletizer.
The Microbus, which was released earlier this year in the United States and Canada, will now be offered in an international version capable of handling six of the world’s common pallet sizes.
The Microbus uses a hand crank or handheld drill to lift the Pallet Lift Carriage, which is raised until a layer of containers is level with the Deadplate, then a belt-driven actuator (sweep) pushes the layer onto the 44” OD (Orbital Discharge) Rotary Table, which accumulates the containers, aligns them and feeds them into a Rinse Cage. Both the rotary infeed table and the automated sweep can be folded away, further reducing this already small machine’s footprint on the production floor.
The International Microbus was engineered and priced with smaller production volumes, budgets and spaces in mind. It is a semi-automatic empty can depalletizer that features a manual hand crank to raise the pallet carriage and an automatic belt sweep that advances cans onto a rotary table prior to rinsing and filling.
This singular machine is adjustable to handle six of the world’s most common pallet sizes and is rated to 1,800CPH. It was made to accommodate the needs of businesses with smaller production spaces that use multiple pallet sizes.
Adjustable to handle half-height pallets in these sizes:
- – 1200 x 1350mm
- – 1180 x 1250mm
- – 1180 x 1165mm
- – 1120 x 1420mm
- – 1120 x 1300mm
- – 1016 x 1219mm
