Pallet Sorting and Repair Lines
Automated pallet handling, sorting and repair solutions
Moderniek’s pallet sorting and repair lines are designed to automate pallet handling, inspection, sorting and repair processes. The systems combine automated stacker robots, friction roller conveyors and pallet separation technology to efficiently process both Euro and Block pallets.
Pallets are automatically identified, sorted by quality class and stacked by type, while damaged pallets are routed to dedicated repair stations. The modular setup allows multiple stacking positions and easy capacity expansion through additional stacker robots within a single line configuration.
Key benefits:
Automated pallet sorting and stacking
Suitable for Euro and block pallets
Sorting by pallet type and quality class
Automated pallet separation and rotation
Modular and scalable system configuration
Efficient buffering and transport using friction roller conveyors
Integrated inspection and repair workflow
Dedicated pallet repair stations
Automated waste removal during repair processes
Fast dismantling with integrated block breakers
40+ years of smart, custom-built mechanisation.

Automated Crate Handling Systems
Efficient end-of-line processing for consistent crate quality
Automated crate handling with Moderniek systems improves production efficiency and guarantees consistent crate quality. Moderniek develops and builds automated crate processing solutions in-house, including milling, nailing and chamfering systems for industrial crate production environments.
The crate milling machines use a gantry construction to transport milling heads around the crate, creating precise rounded top edges with a consistent finish. For automated crate assembly, Moderniek developed a fully automatic crate nailing machine where a gantry lowers over the crate and simultaneously presses nails into all four sides. Adjustable nail positions via touchscreen controls provide maximum flexibility for different crate types and production requirements.
For high-capacity finishing operations, chamfering systems accurately saw all four crate corners at speeds exceeding 30 crates per minute. After processing, crates are automatically stacked three-high using an integrated stacking system, creating a fully automated and efficient production flow.
Key benefits:
Fully automated crate end-of-line processing
Consistent crate quality and finishing
Automated milling, nailing and chamfering operations
Reduced manual labour and improved efficiency
High-capacity processing up to 30 crates per minute
Touchscreen-controlled adjustable nail positions
