MD1000 Full-Layer Bulk Robotic Depalletizer
Manufacturers who need to depalletize trays, large loads, bulk items and bundles have historically made quality or speed compromises due to the limitations of vacuum pick and roller technology. That is no longer necessary with Brenton’s MD1000 technology, which depalletizes full layers at a time, up to 500 lb.

The MD1000 depalletizes tight layer grids of product through a unique cradle-and-place technology that combines a servo-operated rotary tool and slat system to gently handle full layers of product with each motion. The versatile end-of-arm technology is field proven in multiple depalletizing applications and provides superior results for empty or full bulk items, bags, cans, bottles, jars or jugs.
This technology also depalletizes container unit loads without using a foam vacuum tool, removing the danger of contamination inside food-safe containers. Its slatted apron completely supports an entire layer of product from the bottom, eliminating the product-handling limitations created by rollers or vacuum pick and place, which leave trays behind or fail to handle certain bulk items. With the MD1000, the shape or type of product does not matter: if it can be conveyed, it can be tackled. Even soft or gentle-requirement products are efficiently and consistently handled.
