JYGA automatic palletisers and palletising robots

The price of an automatic palletiser depends on its configuration: machine type, throughput, number of lines, gripper, conveying and integration into the existing line. The cell options also affect the budget: empty pallet destacking, layer pads, labelling, stretch wrapping, hooding or top sheet placement. JYGA does not publish prices, because it designs each machine for a given product and end of line. The pre-sales team costs the solution based on your specifications. It first analyses your flows, your throughput and the space available. To obtain a quotation, send JYGA your products, the throughput of each line and the layout of your end of line.

The space required for an automatic palletiser depends on the type of machine. The JYGA robotic palletiser occupies 3,500 × 3,500 × 2,200 mm (JYGA 2026 brochure); this footprint applies to one line. The PAL'IT AIR cobot, which works without safety fencing, fits within 800 × 1,740 × 1,372 mm for one palletising station. The PAL'IT ONE compact palletiser occupies 2,310 × 3,545 mm in its single version. It can be moved without reconfiguration if the layout changes. Around the machine, also allow for the package infeed, empty and full pallets and maintenance access. JYGA studies the layout during the pre-sales phase, then presents it to you in virtual reality before manufacturing. The final cell dimensions are defined according to your project.

Yes, an automatic palletiser handles several formats: it switches SKU by recalling the corresponding palletising pattern. On the JYGA robotic palletiser, a format changeover takes less than 5 minutes (JYGA 2026 brochure). The patterns for each SKU are created with the JY'TOOL software. They are stored on the operator terminal, ready to be recalled. JYGA sizes the gripper for the range of formats set out in the specifications. A complete list of current and planned SKUs makes it possible to size the cell from the pre-sales stage. For the other machines in the range, the duration of a format changeover is defined according to the project.

Yes, JYGA integrates palletisers into existing packaging lines and upgrades end-of-line installations already in place (retrofit). The pre-sales study starts from the existing installation: package outfeed, conveying, pallet flows and free space at the end of the line. The cell is then connected to the line via the package infeed conveyor. This connection also works with several upstream machines: in processed meat, a multi-line cell for blood sausage trays and shelf-ready (PAV) cases receives cases from two different case packers. Virtual reality validates the layout and the interfaces with existing equipment before any work on site. Installation is then organised to minimise production downtime. If the pre-sales study reveals other needs, JYGA can extend the project to the entire end of line, from case packing to palletising.

A fenceless palletising cobot is sufficient when the throughput is moderate, the cases are light and operators work around the station. The JYGA PAL'IT AIR palletises 6 to 18 cases/min (JYGA 2026 brochure). It handles cases weighing up to 20 kg. It serves one or two lines simultaneously. A line palletising around fifteen cases per minute therefore falls within its range, provided each case weighs no more than 20 kg. The PAL'IT ONE compact palletiser takes over for cases from 20 to 25 kg, up to 16 cases/min. Above 18 cases/min, a JYGA robotic palletiser handles up to 35 cases/min; its load capacity is defined with the specifications. Even without fencing, the safety of the station is assessed together with the layout of the PAL'IT AIR palletising cobot.

Pallet stability is prepared at three levels: the palletising pattern, package pick-up and pallet finishing. The palletising pattern, prepared in JY'TOOL, sets the orientation of the packages and the interlocking of the layers. The pick-up mode, whether individual, by row or by full layer, is chosen according to the product. Between layers, layer pads reinforce load stability when the pattern includes them. Pallet collars can complete the pallet. At the cell outfeed, stretch wrapping, hooding, top sheet placement or strapping secure the pallet for transport. These options are chosen with the specifications. At JYGA, pallet stability is part of the tests in the workshop and then on site.

The profitability of an automatic palletiser is calculated by comparing its total cost with the cost of manual palletising. The total cost includes the machine, its installation, staff training and maintenance. On the other side, quantify the handling time freed up, the target throughput and the number of lines served. A JYGA multi-line palletiser serves up to 4 lines. Reducing physical strain and musculoskeletal disorders also comes into the decision, even if it is harder to quantify. The costed, reasoned proposal provided by JYGA during the pre-sales phase specifies the target performance. It serves as the basis for the calculation for your site. JYGA does not publish a typical payback period, because it depends on each project.

Maintenance of a JYGA robotic palletiser is organised through the Performance Support Service, which follows the machine from start-up. The service combines assistance, training, remote maintenance, spare parts and on-site interventions. The service options are formalised in a Performance Support Contract. The preventive maintenance plan depends on the cell configuration and its use: robot, gripper, conveyors and options. During commissioning, JYGA trains your operators and technicians in first-level maintenance. In the event of an incident, remote maintenance allows an initial diagnosis, before any on-site intervention. The Performance Support Service also supports the upgrading of the equipment if your needs change.
