Recently purchase an Irb6400 Robot palletizing cell from us, this system replaced a Type F1 Palletizer. The new robot cell is capable of stacking 10kg – 25kg sacks on different size and type of pallets, which the previous palletiser could not achieve, and with the reduction in floor space made it an easy decision for the purchase. Mr. P. Watkins commented that the increased production and the robots, adaptability will more than compensate for the initial outlay. “After visiting Pace’s premises I was impressed with the facility’s on offer and confident in the after sales services provided”.

September 2008 Allen & Page Gets packing with Pace

2008 Allen & Page Gets packing with Pace two ABB robot Palletizer systems newly installed at Shipdham Airfield will improve efficiency and production to a already thriving animal feed business. Mr. Page looked long and hard before deciding on the ABB IRB6400 a robot which is great value for money and performance with various heavy duty feed conveyor's, and sack turners made for a very large commitment of end of line automation without the normal high cost should give Allen & Page a competitive edge, with the Pace promise of training and after sales service made it a one stop solution.
