Two-Sided Inspection

Pallet inspection is a two-sided process ...

On this system, pallets are seen at the top and bottom by the operator facilitating the removal of debris and loose boards that create jams and lost production. Its fast, reliable, and effective.

SMETCO Sorting Systems feature the ability to quickly and effortlessly inspect both sides of each pallet, then classify at a push of a button.

Control Panel

Reliable, industry-tested Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers are at the heart of each SMETCO Sorting System.

An Ethernet-based HMI tracks every pallet and presents the data in industry standard forms: web pages, Excel-compatible .csv files and an OPC server are standard on every system. Track your profitability and productivity from anywhere in the world without expensive proprietary software.

SMETCO has a dedicated team of field service technicians and a comprehensive spare parts inventory to assist with any maintenance or service questions you may have during the life of your system.
