Heavier pallets moved to a higher level

06 October 2016

With the Prorunner mk10, Qimarox introduces a robust product elevator for pallets of up to 2000kg.

This standardised, modular product lift can be integrated into any end-of-line packaging system or storage system and can be used in conjunction with the Highrunner mk7, Qimarox’s special product palletiser.

Qimarox Prorunner mk10 is based on the design of the Prorunner mk9 pallet lift. The key difference is that the Prorunner mk10 features four instead of two columns, allowing it to easily transport pallets weighing up to 2000 kg. 

The device can easily bridge any difference in height between 0.40 and 10m. Even at the maximum height difference of 10m, the lift can still easily transport 60 pallets per hour with ease. The Prorunner mk10 has a lifting platform of 1200 x 1200mm as standard that can be fitted with a pallet track, so that it can handle not only euro pallets, but product carriers of different sizes such as block pallets.

Combined with a palletiser

The Prorunner mk10 can be used stand alone or in combination with Qimarox’s Highrunner mk7 palletiser. With the Highrunner mk7, the supplied products are pushed together into rows or layers that can be deposited on a pallet in one go by a patented pattern-formation slider. 

With the Highrunner, the pattern-formation conveyor is located at a height, while the pallet can move up and down thanks to the Prorunner mk10. The top of the pallet will therefore always remain at the same height as the pattern-formation conveyor, resulting in a shorter cycle time and higher capacity. The introduction of this new pallet lift therefore makes it possible to palletise products up to a weight of 2000 kg per pallet.

Due to its four-column construction, pallets can be fed in and out on four different sides. It is also possible to use a single machine to supply multiple infeed or outfeed levels, so that the lift can also be used for, for example, vertical sorting. Because the lift is constructed out of standard sections, its height can be increased in 250mm increments. The drive consists of a standard SEW electric motor, which can be attached at floor level or at the level of the intermediate floor, depending on your needs. 

Thanks to its fully standardised and modular design, the Prorunner mk10 is said to provide a short payback and low total cost of ownership. The lift is built exclusively from standard components that are easy to replace. The Prorunner mk10 is constructed using steel, which ensures stability despite the dynamic forces that occur during operation. Lifting in the Prorunner mk10 is done with steel chains, which are tensioned by a counterweight.
