STACK & DE-STACKING
Stack and de stacking conveyors are used in material handling systems to automatically build or separate uniform stacks of products, pallets, or containers. These conveyors manage vertical movement and positioning to support consistent stack formation and controlled release of individual units. Stack and de stacking equipment is commonly applied where manual handling is inefficient due to load weight, size, or volume.
Stacking conveyors are designed to align and accumulate products into stable vertical stacks based on defined height or count parameters. De stacking conveyors separate products or pallets from a stack and introduce them into downstream conveying systems in a controlled sequence. Both functions rely on synchronized motion, lifting mechanisms, and control logic to maintain alignment and reduce load disturbance.
These systems are typically integrated into automated material handling lines that include pallet handling, packaging, or processing operations. Load capacity, cycle time, and stack configuration are selected based on product characteristics and production requirements. Stack and de stacking conveyors are engineered for continuous operation in industrial environments.

Pallet De-Stacker
Heavy duty pallet de-stacker conveyors are designed for high throughput pallet handling in demanding industrial environments, providing reliable automated pallet separation with minimal operator involvement. Built for durability and precision, this system streamlines pallet flow while maintaining consistent alignment and spacing, making it well suited for manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution operations.
The infeed section stages up to 15 stacked pallets loaded from the rear with forklift alignment guides for fast accurate positioning. A pneumatic lift and clamping mechanism supports the stack while dispensing pallets individually at a controlled 35 feet per minute, delivering smooth predictable flow to downstream equipment. Heavy duty dual chain drag conveyors and discharge alignment guides help maintain consistent pallet orientation and reduce manual handling. ref#702483
Product Stacker
When product enters chain drag conveyor, side mounted mechanism moves into product, clamps it and raises product for clearance to allow next product to enter. Once second product has moved into place on the chain drag conveyor, first product is lowered onto second product and both are raised to allow additional products to enter conveyor.
