Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Packr AF611 is a
robust, second hand depalletizer from 2003 designed for
continuous-duty industrial packaging environments. It delivers stable
performance in beverage production and allied sectors, supporting
seamless upstream supply to rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling
operations within a used bottling line. Manufacturer / Model: Packr
AF611 Year: 2003 Category: Depalletizer Production speed: up to 600
containers per hour Movement system: rotating arm (X/Y) depalletizing
Pallet size capability: up to 1200 Ã 1200 mm Formats worked:
optimized for large 20 L containers Container materials: PET, glass,
HDPE canisters, and aluminum containers subject to tooling and dunnage
configuration Top cover handling: automatic removal and discharge; top
sheets are collected and stapled Empty pallet management: automatic
pallet stacking Control platform: Siemens S7-300 range PLC Feed
configuration: single infeed/single-lane handling Operating mode:
automatic Documentation: operator manuals and maintenance
documentation available Advanced Automation & Control Systems
Engineered for reliable, repeatable operation, the AF611 leverages a
Siemens S7-300 PLC for coordinated motion and safety supervision. The
control architecture supports clear diagnostic messaging and
recipe-based parameters for quick setup between batches or container
formats. Integrated sensors monitor layer alignment, top-cover
presence, and pallet position for high process stability. Safety
functions are incorporated via interlocked guards and strategically
placed emergency-stop stations. Original drive technology includes
Lenze servo components. Users should be aware that these legacy drives
are considered obsolete; long-term lifecycle planning may include
servo retrofit strategies to align with modern supportability
requirements. Production Line Integration Capabilities This
depalletizer integrates efficiently at the head of a used bottling
line or canning line, supplying containers to rinsing, filling,
capping, and labeling machines. Standard electrical handshakes and
fieldbus-ready PLC logic enable connection to downstream conveyors,
accumulation tables, and inspection systems. Interfaces with pallet
conveyors, slip-sheet/top-sheet handling, and empty pallet stackers
Supports format adaptation for PET, glass, and HDPE; consult tooling
for aluminum Designed for multi-product beverage production,
compatible with water, juice, beer, wine, soft drinks, and edible oils
Machine Condition & Maintenance History The unit is currently in
production and fully operational, offering immediate availability for
industrial packaging applications. Manuals and maintenance
documentation are included to facilitate installation, preventive
maintenance, and operator training. Work hours are not recorded. Spare
parts for the original Lenze drives are very limited; a proactive
maintenance plan or modernization package is advisable to ensure
long-term uptime. Operational Performance & Versatility With a
throughput of up to 600 bph, the AF611 provides dependable
depalletizing for medium-speed beverage production and food-grade
lines. Its rotating arm design promotes gentle handling to minimize
scuffing or breakage on PET and glass, and delivers stable layer
transfer for heavier HDPE canisters or large-format containers such as
20 L. Suited to supply rinsers, fillers, cappers, and labellers in a
cohesive second hand line Capable of handling diverse pack types
U6354234 with appropriate layer pads, frames, and top sheets Reliable
container presentation to downstream conveyors for consistent line
balance Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Plan a layout
that accommodates pallet infeed, depalletized container discharge, and
safe access around the guarding perimeter. A level industrial floor
and clear forklift pathways for pallet handling are recommended. The
machine is typically configured for three-phase industrial power and a
compressed air supply to actuate grippers and top-sheet systems.
Power: three-phase industrial supply (typical in EU plants)
Pneumatics: clean, dry compressed air for actuators Integration: I/O
handshakes or fieldbus connection with upstream/downstream equipment
Space: allowance for pallet accumulation, empty pallet stacker, and
maintenance access Safety Standards & Compliance Certification The
depalletizer is equipped with comprehensive safety guarding,
interlocked access doors, and emergency stops at key operator
stations. These protections support safe operation during container
handling, top-cover removal, and pallet discharge. Documentation and
manuals are available to assist with risk assessment, lockout/tagout
procedures, and operator training aligned with good manufacturing
practices in beverage production. Hygiene-friendly design
