Abstract:
A palletizing installation comprising two palletizing devices (10,20) and a linear common feed conveyor (1). Each palletizing device has a stationary mounted shutter device (22) and a pallet lifter (26). A stationary mounted row formation platform (28) is present to form thereon a row of products, which platform has a lateral side that extends adjacent a lateral side of the common feed conveyor. The platform provides a series of product locations. Each palletizing device comprises a product row transfer mechanism (30) that is adapted to slide a row of products from the row formation platform onto the layer formation surface of the shutter device in closed state. The installation further comprises a product ejector system with a controller (40) and one or more product ejector devices (41) controlled by said controller, which one or more product ejector devices are arranged near the row formation platforms and are adapted to eject a product from the common feed conveyor such that the product moves onto a selected product location of said at least two row formation platforms.
