IMH Kombiline BBM X1600+ production line

The diagram shows an integrated pallet production line, where successive machines perform individual process stages. It includes an optimising saw for cutting blocks, a leg machine for pallet bottoms, and a machine designed for producing top decks and stringer pallets. Further along is an assembly machine and a robot for transferring pallet components, as well as a perimeter base pallet production machine. The entire system is complemented by milling units, printers and branding stations, corner cutting saws, and a pallet turning robot. At the end of the line, a stacker and a chain outfeed conveyor for finished stacks prepare the products for further transport.

Line modules

We build the line from modules chosen to suit the requirements of your plant.

01

Production of pallet bottoms

Automatic leg assembly machine integrated with a precision optimising saw, operated by a single operator.

  • Integrated with an optimising saw for cutting blocks
  • Sawdust block feeder with a 6-axis or portal robot
  • Two capacity versions: up to 12 or 18 pallet bottoms/min
  • Can operate independently or as part of an integrated line
02

Deck production

Automatic machine producing top decks from 3-5 boards or bearers, with the option of directly connecting them with legs into a finished pallet.

  • Produces decks on 3-5 boards or bearers, also with wings
  • Optional joining of pallet bottom with top deck - finished pallet from one machine
  • Two capacity versions: 25 or 35 nailing cycles/min
  • Quick dimension changeover - suitable for small and large series
03

Pallet assembly

A robot or operator feeds legs and top decks, the machine automatically positions components and nails finished pallets.

  • Nails pallets on 2 to 5 legs
  • Programmable size of wings from the computer
  • Own hydraulic unit - also powers other machines in the line
  • Electronic setup system - suitable for small series
04

Transfer robot

Multi-purpose industrial robot transferring finished top decks and pallet bottoms to the assembly machine.

  • Specialised gripper handling hundreds of pallet types and components
  • Replaces the work of at least two operators
  • Increases output and reduces fixed costs
  • Full integration with the rest of the production line
05

Machine for producing perimeter base pallets

Nails the last two boards to the pallet base after a flip-flop turn, completing the construction of the perimeter base pallet.

  • Flip-flop turner rotates the pallet by 180° and feeds it to the nailing station
  • Individual board positioning thanks to separate feeding
  • Hydraulic drive with its own power unit, pneumatic board feeding
  • PLC controller with operator panel, can control multiple machines
06

Pallet processing

Final processing of finished pallets combining marking, corner cutting, and milling in one machine.

  • Marking - permanent branding/printing of logos, codes, IPPC marks
  • Corner cutting - safer shape and aesthetic finish
  • Milling of bottom boards - easier, safer forklift entry
  • Meets the requirements for export and automated logistics
07

Pallet stacking

Automatic stacking of top decks or finished 4-way pallets - fast, repeatable, and safe.

  • Stacking standard (one on top of the other) or nested (one inside the other)
  • Nesting saves space in transport and storage
  • Modular design - possibility of expansion with stacking of pallet bottoms
  • Compact solution for large and smaller lines
