Depalletisers
FMT has developed its range of automatic depalletisers with particular attention to flexibility, in order to be able to process different types of containers with the same machine.
Thanks to the development by “blocks”, each Customer can personalize the machine in relation to the degree of required automation.
In fact, the FMT Depalletisers can be composed starting from a semi-automatic machine up to a “full optional” model, with a maximum degree of automation and autonomy even at high line speeds (up to 1.000 cpm)
Special attention to the choice of high quality materials and a sturdy structure are the key elements of this FMT product range, that make it possible for us to ensure high performance levels over the years.
The different Depalletiser models can be equipped with:
- Automatic system for the withdrawal of layer pads
- Automatic pallet feeding and unloading system
- Buffer belt conveyor and alignment system, on a single row, for containers outfeed
- Low level - GEMINI Model.
- High level - ATHENA Model
Traditional Palletisers
FMT has developed its range of automatic palletisers for processing cartons, shrink-wrapped packs and trays.
The product can be fed from above or below
The palletiser can also be of the Multiliner type, capable of processing simultaneously two or more types of differently sized packages and capable of palletising them separately
Special attention to the choice of high quality materials and a sturdy structure are the key elements of this FMT product range that make it possible for us to ensure high performance levels over the years.

Storage Systems / Conveyors
As a supplier of complete lines, over the years FMT has developed several containers handling systems to meet the needs of its Customers.
In fact, in order to have lines with high production efficiency, it is essential to have conveyors and storage systems with high quality and advanced technology.
Behind each line, there is a very important engineering design that uses all available handling technologies to be able to develop the best final solution for each project.
Among the various FMT systems to complete its lines, we have:
- Belt conveyors
- Elevators / lowering devices for cartons or single containers
- Drying tunnel
- Empty or full containers washing machines
- Buffer (FIFO or LIFO)
- Containers overturning machines
- Tilting conveyors for cap sterilisation (Hot Fill)
Robot Palletisers
The ZEUS Robotic palletising systems are developed to meet the most modern needs of the food industry. Thanks to a wide variety of special multifunction heads, they are able to meet the packaging needs of most containers and packages.
In particular, they represent an alternative to traditional palletising systems.
The possible coupling with suction cup pick-up systems and arms on the heads enables the combined pick-up of empty layer pads and pallets.
The ZEUS Robotic palletising has been developed for both low speed and high speed.
SPEED from 3 to 120 ppm
(*) The speed depends on the size of the package and the palletising layout.
The Palletising system with Robot has different customisation options. Its main feature is flexibility, as it is a technology that can be configured based on the specific customer requests:
- Possibility of palletising several lines simultaneously
- Ability to palletise packages of different size and type simultaneously
- In most cases, format change without the need for mechanical intervention. Carried out by program insertion or selection
- Limited installation space
- Expandable for increased production
- Reliability, flexibility and possibility to reconvert the system
- High residual value of the robot over time
- Pick-up head with suction cups
- Pick-up head with pneumatic or motorised grippers
- Pick-up head with rack
- Magnetic pick-up head
- Basket pick-up head
- etc....
