PETROCHEMICAL PACKAGING AUTOMATION

Automation engineered for explosive environments

Your facilities handle multiple package types – heavy drums that need precise placement, unstable pail loads that arrive shifted and mixed pallets that vary by production run. Each product requires specific engineering to maintain throughput while operating safely in hazardous locations.

The solutions come from understanding explosive environments. Our conventional and robotic drum palletizing systems integrate UL-certified components manufactured in our St. Louis facility because standard automation isn’t built for these conditions. FANUC robot integration handles your most demanding applications from drum palletizing in refineries to mixed-load depalletizing in chemical plants.

Systems installed in the 1970s still run at original rates across petrochemical facilities, maintaining throughput through temperature swings, caustic conditions and constant package changes. It’s not about theory – it’s about engineering that functions reliably where sparks can’t happen.

Capabilities

  • Integrated handling from de-nesting to wrapped pallet
  • Pail palletizing at up to 40/minute dependent on pattern
  • Drum palletizing at up to 10/minute dependent on pattern
  • Universal tooling handles pails, cases and drums without changeover
