Fully automatic and quick stationary pallet changer

Toppy V-shape is a stationary pallet exchanger built with a unique, strong V shape frame. It is manufactured in painted steel, and with a full stainless steel model also available. All moving parts are operated by hydraulic and electrical systems. The pallet to be replaced is loaded onto a lower platform at floor level by either an electric pallet jack or forklift.

At the start of cycle, a pallet latch secures the pallet to the platform and the upper compactor plate moves down until a sensor detects the top of the load. In this position the plate provides a gentle support to the load. The load, secured by the V-shape frame, is then lifted and rotated backwards. When the load is in the tilted position, the lower platform moves back to the floor and the pallet is released. The operator can quickly and easily replace the pallet at floor level. With the new pallet, the load is returned to floor level and removed.

Stationary inverter/stationary pallet changer

The Toppy Inverter is a stationary pallet inverter that will turn loads and exchange pallets on loads with maximum weight of 1500 kg and maximum height of 2000 mm. The pallets are loaded and unloaded using a forklift.

The pallet turning is accomplished with: 90° rotation without pressure, for steady loads (i.e. boxes); 180° rotation without pressure, for unsteady and fragile loads (i.e. cruets and bottles); 180° rotation with pressure, for unsteady but not fragile loads (i.e. bags, larger size bags and drums).

Toppy inverter is also available with a PLC control (fully automatic), and as a floor level version that can be loaded and unloaded using an electric pallet jack. The stationary pallet changer is mainly used in industries where some products, i.e. liquids, cannot be inverted as this would cause problems with validation or, in industries, where goods are packed in fragile packaging materials.

Pallet changer for lifting high loads

The Maxi Toppy Pharma Plus and Maxi Toppy Pharma Plus WB is presented by Toppy. It can lift the load with the maximum of 1500 kg, with pallet size up to 800×1200 mm or 1000×1200 mm in pallet DIN. The load can be as tall as 1780 mm and 2370 mm, given that pallet is included, for both Maxi Toppy Pharma and Maxi Toppy Pharma Plus.

The high loads are capable to lift up and turn with this mobile pallet turner. The Maxi Toppy Pharma WB Plus pallet changer is realized with wide base of the legs, so that it is possible to pick up pallets closed at the base (for instance, UK pallets). They also comply with the strictest European and American rules. It pays special attention to the GMPs and smooth surface and beveled shape assuring the utmost hygiene and cleanliness.
