15 questions about the Highrunner HR14 Palletizer Snacks and Candy

Can this palletizer be used in freezer conditions?+

No, neither this or any other palletizer can be used in freezer conditions. They use pneumatics, which are not apt to be used in cold environments (anything under 10 degrees Celsius), and have other parts that have not been tested for freezer conditions. A deep-freeze palletizer is in development.

What is the thickness of the powder coating layer on the machines?+

The thickness of the powder coating must be at least between 60µm and 90µm per layer. With a primer and a topcoat, the thickness is at least 120-180µm. When having an EPD coating, an extra 18-25µm is added.

What is the difference in terms of energy usage between the Qimarox palletizer and competitive systems for example by using a robot to palletizer?+

As we have many different situations it’s hard to compare directly but in general energy consumption is lower as in our machines we only use energy to move the product and there is no large steel parts that needs to get into motion.

Can Qimarox palletizers handle ‘folded closed cartons’, so cartons without glue or tape?+

No, we can only handle cartons with relatively flat bottom / top within current design.

Is System Partner an exclusive partnership? If a buyer from an integrator’s area comes to Qimarox looking for a palletising solution, will Qimarox recommend said integrator?+

We don’t work with agents or sole distributors. Our vertical conveyors are sold to every OEM or System Integrator, for our palletizers we only work with companies that made a strategic decision to add the Qimarox solutions to their product portfolio, and are approved and trained by us. We still can have different partners in a region or industry, if an end-user is requesting several contacts we will provide these. A lead is forwarded first to a Gold, Silver and last to Bronze partner. If you are an integrator and interested in becoming a Certified System Partner please contact us.

What is EPD (KTL) coating?+

EPD coating is a pretreatment before powder coating, which makes the coating more resistant to e.g. moisture environments.

Can the machine be supplied with EPD (KTL) coating?+

Yes, the machine can be supplied with EPD (KTL) coating.

Is there any difference in handling taped cartons or glued cartons?+

The requirements for the cartons are the same, both types of cartons should be closed properly without any loose or flapping lids. However, taped cartons can have loose tape ends, so when working with them extra sensors are placed at higher positions to detect such cases.

Can we mount a gear motor with MoviMot on the Highrunners?+

The high level infeed palletizers (HRx) are available with MoviMot Advanced + DRN AC drives. Please consult with a sales representative for other Movimots.

Is the turning device (Twistrunner) also sold as a stand-alone unit?+

Currently a Twistrunner is not sold as a stand-alone unit. Please check availability with your sales representative.

What is the language of the HMI?+

There standard language is English but there are multiple languages available, such as Spanish. Any other language can be brought in if needed. Language can easily be switched at wish on the panel.

Can a Qimarox palletizer handle incomplete pallet loads? Can incomplete layers be created and placed onto a pallet?+

Yes, every Qimarox palletizer can handle ‘incomplete’ layers or pallet loads. If it receives a signal (manual or automated) that the last SKU of a batch has entered, the machine can empty itself out fully automated.

Is the Twistrunner driven by a gear motor?+

A Twistrunner is driven by one or two gear motors (depending on type of Twistrunner) operated by a frequency controller. The rollers of the Twistrunner are belt driven. For every belt driven roller conveyor we always have a spare belt installed to make sure down time is minimized as much as possible if a belt would need replacement.

How often do we need to lubricate the bearings?+

Bearings we have installed do not need to be lubricated. Installed bearings are sealed bearings (ZZ and 2RS) and are factory-filled with grease. They cannot be re-lubricated. These bearings have a maintenance-free lifespan. Re-lubrication is not necessary; instead, in case of wear or reduced performance, the bearings should be replaced.

Can the machines be placed in an ATEX environment?+

The machines are not suitable for ATEX environments. It has not been designed or certified for use in explosive atmospheres as defined by ATEX standards.
