180 degree pallet inverter FZ-PT

Known as pallet flipper or pallet flipping machine, turnover pallet 180 degree for pallet changing. Also a good help for changing the damaged products.
  • Standard machine: No
  • Applicable for: Pallet cargo, skid, frozen food, Sugar....
  • Description
    As a warehousing and pallet handling equipment, FZ-PT is designed for a high standard pallet inverter.
    pallet inverter and pallet flipper for pallet changing
    Dual clamp centralize the pallet from top and bottom simultaneously, side panel keeps the goods safe from falling dowing during turnover.
    The centralized pallet is more balanced, less vibration and shaking. Improving the inverting capacity and extending the worklife of the machine. 
    Remote control convenient  for operation, one forklift driver is enough to do the work.
    Features
    Both operation panel and remote control for user's convenience.
    Hydraulic system providing power to the machine's function.
    Dual clamp reduce the time for clamping and keep the pallet more balanced.
    Mushroom button, for stopping the machine completely if emergency happens.
    Low noise, create a better work environment for workers.
    Machine able to function in low temperature environment.
    Safety guard covers the working area, prevent aliens entering in.

    Load Range & Pallet Fit

    • Match the machine to your heaviest routine load, not your average one. Pallet inverter manufacturers size a unit so it spends its working life comfortably inside its limit — a machine run close to its ceiling every day wears faster than one with headroom.
    • Measure the full stack height, pallet included, before you order. The clamp closes over a range, and a tall, light stack behaves differently under the clamp from a low, dense one.
    • If your loads vary a lot, size for the heaviest you run. One machine that covers everything takes less floor space than two units that each stand idle for most of the week.
    • Replacing an older pallet turner? Size the new machine by the loads you handle today rather than the rating of the old unit, which may have been chosen for a different mix of products.

    Clamp, Drive & Controls

    Two clamps close on the load from the top and bottom at the same time, centring the pallet and spreading the force across the whole stack. A centred load is a steady one: less vibration and shaking through the turn, less strain on the frame, and a longer working life for the machine. Movement comes from a hydraulic system, which gives the cycle its controlled, even pace from the first clamp to the final set-down.

    Operation is deliberately simple. The control panel sits on the machine and a remote control lets the operator step back and still run the full cycle, so one forklift driver can load, turn and unload without a second pair of hands. Because this is a stationary pallet inverter, the unit stays put and the working area around it is easy to keep clear.

    Typical Applications

    • Warehouse and distribution centres. Many sites buy a pallet flipping machine for exactly this job: goods arrive on an in-house pallet and leave on the customer's, with no carton handled by hand.
    • Food and sugar plants. Bagged sugar, flour and frozen food sit in the load categories this machine is built to handle, and the clamp holds the stack together so bags settle back into position after the turn.
    • Skid-based loads. Loads standing on skids rather than a standard pallet turn the same way, which suits yards and workshops where suppliers deliver on whatever base is available.
    • Rental and third-party pallets. Where goods arrive on pallets that have to go back, the load is transferred onto your own pallet at the bay instead of somewhere else in the building.

    Before You Order

    1. Write down your pallet footprint, your heaviest load and the full stack height. These three figures decide which pallet inverter machine suits you, and they are the first thing we ask for.
    2. Reserve the bay. This is a stationary pallet inverter, so plan the footprint and the forklift approach before the machine arrives rather than moving it around afterwards.
    3. Confirm the power supply at the wall. The standard build runs on 380 V, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz, and the supply can be adapted to suit your site.
    4. Tell us what the goods are — frozen food, bagged sugar, boxes or skids — and how the load is presented, so the clamp is set up for it.
    5. Choose any options you want fitted at build stage: a forklift groove for loads handled without a pallet underneath, a ramp for loading and unloading with a pallet truck where there is no forklift, or a sensor that stops the clamp automatically on fragile products.
    6. Send those details in one message — footprint, weight, stack height, power supply and options — and we will confirm the build that matches.

    FAQ

    Is this machine also called a pallet turner?

    Yes. Pallet turner, pallet flipper and pallet inverter all describe the same 180 degree job: turning a loaded pallet over so the pallet underneath can be exchanged. On this machine the whole load — goods and pallet together — turns in one cycle rather than being moved item by item.

    What keeps the load secure while it turns?

    A safety guard covers the working area so nobody can step into the turning zone, and a side panel holds the load from the side as it comes over, which stops goods slipping out mid-cycle. If anything unexpected happens, the mushroom button stops the machine completely.

    What can I do about damaged bottom cartons?

    This is the classic pallet flipping machine job. The load is turned over, the crushed or damp bottom cartons are pulled out, and the stack is set down on a sound pallet. The goods themselves are never rebuilt by hand.

    What routine maintenance does the machine need?

    As the team behind your pallet inverter, we keep the routine short. Check the hydraulic system for leaks and oil level, keep the clamp faces and the side panel clear of debris, and test the guard and the emergency stop at the start of each shift. Beyond that, normal warehouse preventive maintenance is enough.

    Can it run in a cold store?

    Yes. The pallet inverter machine is built to keep working in low-temperature environments, which is why frozen-food and chilled distribution sites use it. Tell us the lowest temperature your building reaches so the controls and hydraulics are set up for that environment.

    Can you build it for our own pallet size?

    Yes. Both the pallet footprint and the clamping range can be customized. Pallet inverter manufacturers usually work from a fixed catalogue size, but if your loads sit on oversized boards, skids or a stack height outside the standard range, send the pallet drawing and load details and we will confirm what can be built.
