What Is an FSDC Pallet Inverter?
The FSDC is a free-standing pallet inverter that rotates a complete palletised load through 180 degrees. Once inverted, the original pallet can be removed and replaced before the load is returned to its normal position.
“DC” refers to the machine’s dual-clamp design. The upper and lower tables securely clamp the load during inversion, allowing the machine to handle a wide variety of packaged goods and pallet types.
Flexible loading configurations
The machine can be loaded using a forklift truck or at ground level using a pallet truck. Ramp-loaded tables are available, while flush-floor tables can eliminate the ramp and reduce the machine’s overall operating footprint.
What Can the FSDC Pallet Inverter Be Used For?
The FSDC provides a controlled method of transferring complete loads between different pallet types or recovering products from damaged pallets.
Damaged Pallet Recovery
Safely replace broken or damaged pallets located underneath a complete stack without manually unloading every item.
In-House Pallet Protection
Move incoming goods from lower-grade transport pallets onto high-quality internal pallets used within the facility.
Disposable Pallet Transfer
Transfer outgoing products from reusable internal pallets onto one-trip or disposable shipping pallets.
Freezer Spacer Recovery
Recover reusable freezer spacers from stacked frozen food products and other cold-store applications.
Export Pallet Preparation
Transfer products onto suitable ISPM 15-compliant pallets before international shipping and export.
