Challenges
Efficient and safe palletizing is critical within the dairy industry’s supply chain. However, the unique characteristics of dairy products present several challenges that must be addressed to ensure product integrity and minimize waste
Product Deformability
Dairy items like yogurt tubs and soft cheese lack rigidity. Palletizing systems must handle products gently to avoid damage.
Moisture & Hygiene Concerns
Dairy products are prone to bacterial growth. Leakage during palletizing can introduce moisture, especially with wooden pallets.
Cold Chain Management
Dairy industry relies on refrigerated chains. Condensation in cold storage can cause stability issues, needing compatible palletizing systems.
Packaging Diversity
Dairies use diverse case sizes and shapes. Palletizing systems must adapt to handle variations efficiently and safely.
Balancing Speed & Efficiency
High-speed palletizing meets dairy production demands, but it must balance speed with careful handling to prevent damage and recalls.
