ProTOWER Automated Pallet Change-Out and Storage System
Smart, space-saving pallet storage and retrieval designed for faster changeovers, higher uptime, and safer handling.
ProMATIC’s ProTOWER system automates the pallet change-out process—eliminating manual handling, reducing setup time, and improving operator safety. Designed for Power-and-Free conveyance systems, ProTOWER automatically stores, retrieves, and exchanges pallets for new or validated production runs with minimal downtime.
By storing pallets vertically, ProTOWER maximizes valuable floor space while keeping every pallet protected, traceable, and ready for use. Its error-proofing features ensure that only the correct “gold standard” pallet is introduced into production, improving quality control and repeatability.
Available in Single, Double, and Multiple-Tower configurations, each system can be tailored to your facility’s workflow and storage needs. Whether managing small-batch changeovers or supporting continuous, high-volume operation, ProTOWER increases uptime, safety, and throughput while reducing labor costs.
Advantages:
- Automated pallet exchange minimizes downtime and accelerates production restarts.
- Eliminates manual pallet handling; integrates quarantine capability for non-conforming pallets.
- Vertical storage design replaces carts and dedicated shelving.
- No manual lifting or pallet transfer required.
- Boosts uptime and enables faster product changeovers.
- Scalable architecture accommodates future expansion and layout changes.
