Stack Turner

The Roberts PolyPro Stack Turner inverts large, heavy stacks in a single motion, protecting your operators from harmful repetitive motion injuries. It can cut your overall labor costs in half while dramatically increasing your throughput. Ergonomically engineered, this simple, efficient design is very easy to use and maintain. By replacing the tedious task of hand turning carton stacks, the Stack Turner saves labor, reduces needless injuries and supplies a constant flow of cartons to the Prefeeder. And with the Stack Turner doing the work, you will see fewer repetitive motion injuries with a resulting decrease in Worker Compensation claims. Designed to handle a large range of carton sizes, the Roberts PolyPro Stack Turner is very adaptable.

• Allows a single operator to load multiple gluers.
• Automatically turns cartons stacks over in proper orientation for loading to the Prefeeder.
• Responds to cue from Prefeeder to load new carton stack.
• Automatically squares and aligns carton stacks during the turning process.
• Automatic stack height adjustment.
• Turns large volumes of cartons; as much as 15 inches per stack in a single turn.
• Allows operator time to inspect cartons.
• Simple, easy adjustment for fast setup.
• Rail mounted to maintain alignments.
• Less physical stress on operators to reduce lifting and repetitive motion injuries.
• No operator intervention required for continuous running.
• High speed operation keeps pace with gluer.

Options:

• Standard - Our standard stack turner allows a single operator to load multiple gluers and eliminates repetitive motion injuries by automatically turning stacks for proper orientation into the prefeeder.
• Squaring - Our stack turner with squaring offers all the benefits of our standard stack turner, but squares the stack of cartons at the top of the turn. This ensures that a clean stack is delivered into the prefeeder or folder gluer.
