Automated De- and Re-Palletizing for Mould Handling

12/02/2025

The flexible Bosch Rexroth Solution Set optimizes your production processes through automated depalletizing and repalletizing of moulds. Whether in the production line or for loading and unloading at washing machines, our solution adapts to your needs. It handles up to 600 heavy moulds (up to 10 kg) per hour and, thanks to diverse gripper types (vacuum/mechanical) and rotation/swivel functions, no confectionery application is overlooked. An innovative vision system detects pallet positions as well as residues in the moulds for automatic sorting out or operator notification. Intermediate layers, e.g., made of paper, are also detected and sent for recycling. Open interfaces and standards ensure easy integration and future viability.



Key Features & Benefits

  • High Throughput: Processes up to 600 heavy moulds (up to 10 kg) per hour, significantly boosting production efficiency and output.

  • Versatile Handling: Offers flexible handling of various formats and sizes, including diverse gripper types (vacuum/mechanical) and rotation/swivel functions, adapting to a wide range of applications.

  • Smart Detection: Incorporates an innovative vision system for precise detection of pallet positions and residues in moulds, enabling automatic sorting or operator notification and enhancing quality control.

  • Resource Efficiency: Detects intermediate layers (e.g., paper) for recycling, promoting sustainable production practices and reducing waste.

  • Modularity & Space-Saving Design: Features a modular and configurable design with small footprint components, allowing for flexible plug-and-play placement and optimizing floor space utilization.

  • Seamless Integration: Ensures easy integration and future viability through open interfaces and standards, facilitating smooth communication and compatibility with existing systems.
