Robotic Palletizers for Ice Bags
Looking for a way to increase your line’s capacity? If you are turning away business or slowing down your operation due to limited palletizing capacity, IcePal robotic ice bag palletizers are your solution - they can stack 96 pallets in an 8-hour shift with none of the problems associated with hand stacking.
