Food products generally are dispatched on wooden pallets. However, to store in clean rooms or production zone it needs to be transferred into plastic pallets. Even if you don’t need to switch there can be spills and leaks that need to be replaced.
Some dry ingredients when packed tightly turn into cake over time. Large sacks of sugar or flour are susceptible to ripping, especially the ones at the pallet’s bottom. The entire load needs to be removed, which is a heavy task.
Fortunately, there are pallet inverters designed to rotate the loaded pallets. The machine uses differ from one industry to another.
Here are some basic uses –
- Remove and replace the damaged pallets.
- To invert or rotate products for appropriate storage.
- Remove the damaged product from the pallet load’s bottom.
- Switch from wooden pallets to plastic ones.
Using a pallet inverter you can reduce product damage rate and enhance business efficiency as well as save money and time.
