How does our sheet dispenser minimise downtime and improve production pace?

Surely, downtime and the pace of the production line are significant factors in your production because they can negatively affect your economy and deliverability to your customers. Optimisation within various areas, such as data collection and value stream mapping, to identify stages in the production line that slow down the overall process is probably something you continuously deal with to keep up a good workflow. And it should be.

We often experience that a sheet dispenser can play an important role in the production line, both when it comes to minimising downtime and keeping up a satisfactory pace. The short answer to how downtime and production pace can be positively affected is innovative design and improved functionality.

3 positive advantages of automated sheet dispensers

How does an 8% improvement in productivity sound to you? Appealing, right? That’s exactly what implementation of an automatic Palcut sheet dispenser did for our customer, Aqua d’Or – an efficient way to keep accurate handling of interlayer sheets consistent every time. The customer had a manual process where downtime was standard procedure. This problem was eliminated. There were many other positive advantages for Aqua d’Or, which you can read more about in the following link.

Dive into the case here

When you choose to implement an automatic sheet dispenser, you’ll get to experience the following things:

1. Say goodbye to time-consuming changeovers. You’ll have a machine and system that ensures changeovers consistently deliver the same standard every day, hour and minute.

2. Fixed pickup height, meaning your robot’s working speed will be even more reliable, as an improvement over unnecessary stoppage and mistakes. There is only one sheet to pick up, resulting in minimum delays – something the entire production line benefits from.

3. Less storage space is needed because the reels make it much more compact. This has an environmental benefit, and you can use some of the space for other important storage tasks.

2 reasons why everything runs smoothly

The models for your needs depend on your product size and the design of your production line. Automated sheet dispensers that are tailored to fit your specific needs are what you’ll find with our Palcut 800 and Palcut 1200 sheet dispensers. There are some differences between the two models, but a common feature of both is:

1. You get pre-programmed settings and precision cutting. With an automated sheet dispenser, different sizes can be accommodated, which makes it fast and accurate when cutting interlayer sheets directly from anti-slip paper reels. Only one sheet will be picked at a time, reducing the likelihood of jams or misfeeds that can cause delays and halt production.

Palcut 800 and 1200 at your service

With the Palcut 800 and 1200, you get high capacity and certification. They have a maximum reel width of 800 mm and 1200 mm and are both CE- and UKCA-certified, making them ideal for companies with high sheet consumption and continuous palletising operations.

Moreover, the models offer a flexible integration because they can be customised to fit various production setups, either as a stand-alone unit or integrated within the robot’s working area, accommodating different production and pallet sizes to maintain a steady production speed and eliminate downtime. The main difference between the 800 and 1200 machines is the width of the reel. The high capacity width can be essential for your needs.

Such machines provide you with accurate sheet cutting for seamless palletising, which has the potential to minimise downtime and streamline production pace.

Customisation is a winning thing

Sometimes a premade solution doesn’t cut it. Palcut is your way to smooth and reliable production. No matter your palletising line’s unique needs, our skilled specialist will design a machine that perfectly fits your requirements – because we have 20 years of experience within the industry. And that is a benefit you can rely on.

Combining an automated sheet dispenser with our anti-slip paper on reels and the right amount of experience in implementing results in a great outcome. It is an advantage that is difficult to ignore. Anything is possible. We’ve seen it multiple times, and customers’ words speak for themselves:

“… And the Palcut machine has not cost a single stoppage.” Michael Johanssen, Arla Foods

“… We haven’t had any disruption to production and we are saving on storage space for sheets.” Simone Amgioni, Fratelli Beretta
