TOTAL PACKAGING SOLUTIONS

Palletiser

ADM palletising solutions are designed to complete the packaging line automating the final stage where packed cases or large bags are prepared for storage, transport, and distribution. Whether handling cartons from case packing systems or heavy bags produced on VFFS or premade pouch machines, ADM delivers palletising systems engineered for reliability, safety, and long-term performance.

Rather than treating palletising as a standalone function, ADM designs each system as an integrated part of the overall packaging process. Palletisers are synchronised with upstream bagging and case packing equipment to ensure smooth product flow, consistent stacking patterns, and stable pallet loads. This coordinated approach reduces manual handling, improves line efficiency, and supports predictable, repeatable output.

ADM palletising solutions can be configured for cases, sacks, and large-format bags, accommodating a wide range of weights, pack sizes, and pallet patterns. Systems may utilise robotic palletisers or conventional layer-forming designs, selected based on throughput requirements, available floor space, and product characteristics.

As part of an ADM turnkey packaging line, palletising systems integrate seamlessly with conveyors, safety guarding, pallet handling, and wrapping equipment. Supported by ADM’s in-house engineering team, each solution is tailored to the customer’s plant layout and operational requirements delivering a safe, scalable end-of-line automation solution that reduces labour dependency and future-proofs production.

  • Key Features – Palletising Systems

    • Automated palletising for packed cases, sacks, and large-format bags

    • Configurable for robotic or conventional palletising architectures

    • Designed to handle output from VFFS machines, premade pouch systems, and case packers

    • Flexible pallet patterns to suit different pack sizes and pallet configurations

    • Engineered for stable load formation and consistent pallet integrity

    • Integrated infeed and outfeed conveyor systems

    • Safety guarding and interlocks designed to Australian standards

    • Capability to interface with pallet dispensers and stretch wrapping systems

    • Designed to accommodate varying product weights and packaging formats

    • Scalable layouts to suit available floor space and future expansion

    • Engineered as part of a complete ADM turnkey packaging line

    • Supported by ADM’s in-house engineering for layout design and system integration

ADM palletising systems are suited to applications where packed cases or large bags must be stacked safely and consistently for transport, storage, and distribution. Systems are engineered to accommodate a wide range of product weights, packaging formats, and production environments.

Typical applications include:

  • Carton palletising — cases from top-load or side-load case packers in food, FMCG, and agribusiness operations

  • Large bag palletising — sacks and heavy bags produced on VFFS machines or premade pouch systems

  • Agriculture and gardening products — fertilisers, potting mixes, composts, and soil conditioners

  • Pet food and animal nutrition — large-format bags requiring stable stacking and load integrity

  • Food ingredients and bulk products — powders, pellets, and granular materials packaged for wholesale or export

ADM palletising systems are selected where manual palletising presents safety risks, labour constraints, or inconsistent pallet quality. By automating this stage, manufacturers improve load stability, reduce manual handling, and maintain predictable pallet patterns.

Integrated as part of an ADM turnkey packaging line, palletising systems synchronise with upstream bagging and case packing equipment and can be combined with pallet handling and stretch wrapping to deliver a complete end-of-line automation solution.

Detailed Application Example 1 – Palletising of Large Bags

Example — Agricultural Fertiliser Bags

An agricultural producer requires automated palletising of large-format bags filled on a VFFS machine. The bags are heavy, flexible, and require controlled placement to maintain pallet stability.

In this setup, filled bags are transferred via bag conveyors to a palletising system configured for bag handling. The palletiser places each bag accurately to form stable layers, ensuring consistent alignment and load integrity across the pallet.

System capability includes:

  • Controlled handling of heavy and flexible bags

  • Consistent pallet patterns for bulk and export formats

  • Integration with VFFS bagging output and bag conveyors

  • Improved pallet stability for storage and transport

  • Reduced reliance on manual palletising

This solution allows agricultural producers to automate end-of-line palletising for large bags, improving safety, consistency, and overall line efficiency as part of a complete ADM packaging system.

Detailed Application Example 2 – Palletising of Packed Cases

Example — FMCG Snack Cartons

A snack manufacturer requires an automated solution to palletise sealed cartons exiting a case packing line. Consistent pallet patterns, load stability, and safe handling are critical to support warehouse storage and distribution.

In this application, cartons are conveyed from the case packer to the palletising zone, where a robotic palletiser stacks cases in a defined pattern. Pallet configurations are selected via the control interface to suit different SKUs and carton sizes, allowing production to switch between formats without manual reconfiguration.

System capability includes:

  • Accurate and repeatable stacking of cartons

  • Flexible pallet patterns to suit multiple carton formats

  • Synchronisation with upstream case packing throughput

  • Integration with pallet dispensers and stretch wrapping

  • Reduced manual handling and improved operator safety

This configuration delivers stable, transport-ready pallets while supporting efficient, high-output FMCG operations within an ADM turnkey packaging line.
