Fruit box palletizing in Mexico

The full box leaves your line and a robot stacks it on the pallet, with the pattern your shipment calls for. If your line packs fruit, it gets solved here.

When it pays off in a packing house

When stacking already takes several people per shift, or when each pack calls for its own pattern and shipping errors start to pile up.

The load sets the terms: an 11.34 kg box is within what NOM-036, Mexico's manual handling standard, allows a person to lift, but the cumulative mass of 10,000 kg per workday comes up fast at peak, and the top layers of the pallet are the ones that hurt most.

What we need to know

  • Dimensions and weight of each box that leaves the line.
  • Pallet and maximum height of your shipment.
  • Boxes per minute at the end of your line.
  • How many packs run on the same day.
  • Whether the pallet goes to cold storage, to the dock or straight to the truck.

We do it with Target Robotics

The palletizers are built by Target Robotics, our sister company in the same San Luis Potosí plant. If your line packs fruit, you come in through Agro and we look at it together with the infeed and the outfeed.

Do you palletize something other than fruit? They will take care of you directly on their site.

Questions about fruit palletizing

What is fruit box palletizing?
Fruit box palletizing means stacking the full boxes on a pallet, with the pattern and the height the shipment calls for. A crew, a conventional palletizer or a robot can do it. It is the last step of the line before the cold room or the truck.
Agro or Target? Who do I talk to?
If you pack fruit or vegetables, talk to Agro Robotics: your project gets looked at together with dumping and case packing. If you palletize something else, such as processed foods, sacks or beverages, talk to Target Robotics, our sister company. Both belong to Target Robotics Group.
How many fruit boxes go on a pallet?
It depends on the box and on the stack height. We have an article with the table and the math for a 1.00 by 1.20 meter pallet and boxes of 4, 10 and 11.34 kg.

Which box leaves your line?

With your boxes per minute and your pallet we will tell you whether palletizing goes first or whether another cell is the better start.
