A client in Istanbul, Turkey, sought to establish a large-scale molded pallet production facility to meet the diverse needs of the regional market. Their key challenge was the requirement for high-volume output across four different pallet sizes. This case study details the custom-engineered, multi-press production line designed to provide both the capacity and flexibility the client required.
The Challenge: Balancing Versatility and High-Volume Production
The project’s success hinged on designing a system that could efficiently produce a high mix of products without sacrificing daily output.
- Location: Istanbul, Turkey.
- High-Mix Production: The line needed to manufacture four distinct pallet specifications: 800x1000mm, 800x1200mm, 1000x1200mm, and 1100x1100mm.
- High-Capacity Target: A total minimum output of 1,200 pallets daily.
- Raw Materials: Wood chips and agricultural waste, bonded with resin.
The Engineered Solution: A 4-Press Line for 1200+ Pallets/Day
To meet the high-capacity target, a robust material preparation system and a multi-press molding core were essential. The engineered solution is built around a bank of four parallel hydraulic presses, including a top-of-the-line compressed wood pallet machine for each station.
| Stage | Key Equipment |
|---|---|
| 1. High-Capacity Material Preparation | Heavy-Duty Wood Chipper, Wood Crusher, Industrial Dryer |
| 2. The Molding Core: Four Parallel Pressing Stations | Four 1250-Ton Hydraulic Presses (each a compressed wood pallet machine), Two Automatic Glue Mixers, and a dedicated Mold Temperature Machine for each press. |
Consulting on Pallet Design: Nestable vs. Flat-Top
To ensure the final products met the end-user’s needs, we provided consultation on two primary mold designs: the space-saving 9-Point Nestable Pallet and the Flat-Top Pallet, which offers a completely flat, uniform top surface for even support of sensitive cargo.
A Commitment to Quality and International Partnership
Every production line is built to global standards and supported by a comprehensive service plan to ensure client success, including on-site guidance for installation and commissioning, comprehensive operator and maintenance training, a one-year warranty, and long-term technical support.
