Fortis bulk depalletizer

Fortis bulk depalletizer
Innovation

BW Integrated Systems' patent pending Fortis high-level bulk depalletizers automatically remove empty containers from pallets and feed them into production lines.

Fortis employs a unique method for handling dunnage, bringing the consolidated dunnage down to floor level for easy robotic separation. The robotic dunnage handling system separates layer pads, top frames, and pallets to meet supplier needs. Fortis is designed to operate in a 24-hour/day production environment and easily handles empty steel, Aluminum, and PET containers.

Automatic Counter Bagger Palletizer

Automatic Counter Bagger Palletizer

Fleetwood's Automatic Counter Baggers are complete solutions for can end manufacturer's packaging needs. Our ACBP accurately counts the ends, bags them with a high-quality fold and finish seal, and completed bags are palletized with snake wrap between each layer to create a pallet that is robust for repeated forklift handling. Once built, every pallet is consistently straight. The Fleetwood line of Automatic Counter Bagger Palletizers offers both 4-lane and 6-lane models to align with the latest conversion press capabilities. Ends are counted and separated into sticks with built in accumulation for increased efficiency. Sticks are loaded into paper bags that are folded then sealed with pre-applied hot melt glue.Bags can also be folded and held closed without glue until palletized for customers who manually unload bags for filling.

Conveyance

Conveyance

The Fleetwood line of Conveyance Solutions offers can end manufacturing companies best-in-class products for handling their production line needs. Our systems start at the shell press, where we pioneered synchronizer technology to tackle end spacing challenges for stacking as industry speeds increased. We offer hundreds of trackwork and pusher configurations to seamlessly connect to all customer-selected equipment or adapt to limited plant space. Our conveyors have many available product sampling and camera inspection locations to address the testing needs of any customer. Liner conveyor options allow for all liner types, speeds, and compound formulations. We also have conversion solutions for both four-lane and six-lane press systems.

Company profile

BW Integrated Systems is pleased to bring to MetPack two of the oldest most recognized brands in Can and End Manufacturing.  Fleetwood Systems founded in 1956, pioneered steel lid feeding and handling and was the supplier used during the development of the aluminum beer and beverage can ends. We continue to lead today and are providing the most innovative technically advanced conveying and automation for high speed beverage end lines, with more installations worldwide than any other company in the industry.

Our forward-thinking approach allows us to consistently improve upon our ability to handle smaller diameters, light weighting of ends and flexibility of lines. We offer solutions to our customers taking into consideration technology, manpower and budgets. When you integrate Fleetwood equipment in your end line you can be confident that you have the highest quality of equipment, engineered and built to provide you with the maximum production uptime that will deliver the highest quality of product to your customers.

Founded in 1971,  Goldco quickly separated from the pack and became the world's choice for end of line empty can palletizing. A thought leading engineering team developed a series of industry firsts, from a space saving reverse discharge machine, the first and still only top pallet infeed machine to the first fully automatic palletizer. Today we are proud to build upon that legacy utilizing our experience as one of the world's largest robotic integrators in packaging. Our floor level robotic solutions complement our high-speed beverage can technology and are well suited for palletizing round and non-round, food and general industry containers.In addition to state of the industry palletizing technology we offer a full range of pallet handling solutions including pallet labeling, live pallet storage, automatic truck loading and unloading.

The Fleetwood and Goldco convey product lines of ending, accumulation, depalletizing, palletizing, and associated equipment are manufactured in both the US and UK with field service engineers located worldwide. BW Integrated Systems powered by the Fleetwood and Goldco Brands is a company that will earn your trust.
