The global pallet industry is estimated to be worth £60 billion by the end of 2025.
Due to their versatility and eco-friendly appeal, the pallet industry is set for steady growth, with the demand for pallets increasing.
Automation is a key driver of this expansion, and will be manufacturers’ secret weapon in keeping up with demand. JJ Smith offers a range of machines tailored to the pallet manufacturing industry, enabling you to speed up many of the processes involved in pallet making. You can check out this machinery in our showroom and chat with one of our experts about how you can improve your pallet production with cutting-edge machinery.
Automation paired with pallet machinery
Pairing automation with pallet making machinery significantly reduces production time. For example, robotic assembling systems can assemble pallets much faster than manual labour. There are also machines, such as Form’s TKM-P Block Cutter, which allow you to easily switch between different block sizes. This not only reduces unnecessary downtime but also enables you to scale up production with ease with aforementioned machine processing up to 50 blocks a minute.
Additionally, automated systems are designed with safety protocols that protect operators from accidents that can occur in manual pallet production (e.g. repetitive motion injuries or accidents with equipment). This ensures a safer, more stable and reliable workplace.
CNC machinery and automation could be the key to transforming your production, keeping up with supply demands and improving your sustainability. The Form range of pallet machinery is designed to produce pallets with consistent quality and precise measurements, customised for different pallet sizes, designs, and types. This gives you the flexibility in producing various pallet configurations for diverse industries.
While the initial investment in automation might be high, over a short period of time you will see reduced costs and a return on investment through improved efficiency, reduced waste, and your operators will be focused on higher value tasks.
With the pallet machinery continuing to grow as demand increases for eco-friendly solutions to storage, we can help you to ensure your business is able to keep up. You can visit our showroom or speak to one of our experts to ensure that you get the woodworking machinery you need. Get in touch now.
