Baker Products has introduced a new automated board stacking system. The complete system accumulates boards, stacks them on a pallet, and discharges the loaded pallet onto dead rollers for forklift pick-up.

            The automated board accumulator accepts boards one at a time and transports them via chain conveyor across a programmable counter. Small stacks of boards are transported onto the board stacker accumulation area to form a row.

            When a row of boards is completed, the system picks up the row and moves it onto the waiting pallet. Hopper-fed cross members can be programmed to automatically divide the rows to a specified height or board count.

            With the optional pallet de-stacker and auto pallet loader, a loaded pallet is discharged automatically onto the dead rollers, and another pallet is automatically staged to keep continuously stacking more boards.

            The Baker automated board stacker can handle boards from 28 inches to 60 inches long, ¾-inch to 4 inches thick and from 3-1/2 to 6 inches wide.
