Automatic Pallet Conveyors for Finished Can Pallets, Empty Pallets and Integrated End-of-Line Handling
Baoli pallet conveyor systems are designed for automatic pallet handling in empty can production lines and food & beverage canning lines. The conveyor system can transfer finished palletized can packs between different packaging machines, move empty pallets from pallet dispensers to palletizing stations, and return empty pallets after depalletizing.
Depending on the application, customers can choose from stainless steel chain conveyors, chain conveyors and roller conveyors.
Rather than supplying a standard conveyor with a fixed layout, Baoli designs the pallet conveying system according to the pallet size, load, production speed, equipment arrangement and available factory space.
Pallet conveying requirements are different at different stages of a can production or canning line.
In an empty can production line, pallet conveyors are commonly used after palletizing and packaging, while also transporting empty pallets from the pallet dispenser to the palletizing position.
In a food or beverage canning line, pallet conveyors can move completed pallet loads toward the depalletizing station and return empty pallets to the pallet stacking system.
The basic principle is:
Pallet Loading → Automatic Conveying → Next Process → Pallet Return
Baoli can design the conveyor route and equipment configuration around the complete material flow.
After empty cans are palletized, the palletized load usually needs to pass through several downstream packaging processes.
A typical process can be:
Can Palletizer → Pallet Conveyor → Packaging Equipment → Finished Pallet
Depending on the customer's packaging requirements, pallet conveyors can connect with:
Palletizing machines
Stacking machines
Strapping machines
Stretch wrapping machines
Stretch hood machines
Labeling machines
Other pallet packaging equipment
The conveyor system provides the continuous pallet transfer between these processes.
A typical automated pallet packaging flow may be:
Can Palletizer
↓
Pallet Conveyor
↓
Stacking / Pallet Handling
↓
Strapping
↓
Stretch Wrapping
↓
Finished Pallet
The actual equipment combination depends on the customer's production and packaging requirements.

Pallet handling is not limited to finished can pallets.
Before palletizing begins, an empty pallet needs to be supplied to the palletizing station.
Baoli pallet conveyors can be used to transfer empty pallets from the pallet dispenser to the palletizing position.
A typical empty pallet flow is:
Pallet Dispenser → Empty Pallet Conveyor → Palletizer
This allows empty pallets to be automatically supplied to the palletizing process instead of requiring manual movement.
For a fully automated palletizing system, the empty pallet supply and finished pallet discharge can be designed as part of the same overall material flow.
Pallet conveyors also have an important role at the beginning of food and beverage canning operations.
Empty cans may arrive at the canning line in palletized stacks. After the pallet reaches the depalletizing station, the cans are unloaded layer by layer and transferred to the can conveyor.
The pallet conveyor can then handle the pallets before and after depalletizing.
A typical process is:
Palletized Empty Cans
↓
Pallet Conveyor
↓
Can Depalletizer
↓
Empty Pallet
↓
Empty Pallet Conveyor
↓
Pallet Stacking Machine
The empty pallet can be automatically returned after all cans have been removed.

This creates a continuous pallet handling process around the canning line.
After the cans have been unloaded, the pallet no longer carries a product load.
Instead of requiring operators to manually move the empty pallets, an automatic conveyor system can transfer them to the pallet stacking machine.
Typical flow:
Depalletizing → Empty Pallet Conveyor → Pallet Stacking Machine
This can help reduce manual pallet handling and keep the depalletizing area organized.
Different production environments require different conveyor configurations.
Baoli offers several pallet conveyor options.
Stainless steel chain conveyors can be used where durability, cleanability and corrosion resistance are important considerations.
They are suitable for applications where the conveyor operates in demanding production environments or where stainless steel construction is preferred.
Typical applications:
Food and beverage production
Canning lines
Pallet transfer
Hygienic production environments
Chain conveyors provide a robust solution for transporting pallets through industrial production and packaging areas.
They can be configured according to pallet size, load and conveying direction.
Typical applications:
Can production lines
Pallet transfer
Packaging lines
End-of-line handling
Roller conveyors can be used for suitable pallet transfer applications where pallets need to move between different production or packaging stations.
They can be arranged in straight conveying sections and combined with other pallet handling equipment according to the factory layout.
Typical applications:
Pallet transfer
Packaging areas
Warehouse connection
Pallet handling systems
The conveyor type should not be selected only by price or conveyor length.
The complete system should be considered together with the pallet, product load and surrounding equipment.
The pallet dimensions determine the required conveyor width and conveying configuration.
The total pallet weight affects the conveyor structure, chain or roller configuration and drive requirements.
The conveyor needs to provide sufficient transfer capacity for the upstream and downstream equipment.
Straight sections, turns, changes in direction and connections to other machines all need to be considered.
Food and beverage applications may have different construction and cleaning requirements from dry industrial production environments.
The conveyor needs to match the height and transfer position of equipment such as palletizers, depalletizers, strapping machines and stretch wrapping machines.
A pallet conveyor should not be treated as an isolated machine.
Its real function is to connect different production processes.
For example, in a can production line:
Palletizer → Pallet Conveyor → Strapping → Stretch Wrapping
In a canning line:
Pallet Conveyor → Depalletizer → Can Conveyor
and:
Depalletizer → Empty Pallet Conveyor → Pallet Stacking Machine
This is why Baoli designs pallet conveying systems according to the complete production flow rather than simply supplying a standard conveyor section.
Every factory has different pallet dimensions, machine positions and available space.
Baoli can design the pallet conveyor system according to:
Pallet dimensions
Pallet weight
Production capacity
Conveying distance
Conveyor height
Conveying direction
Turning requirements
Connected equipment
Factory layout
Production environment
The conveyor can be designed as an individual transfer section or as part of a larger automated pallet handling system.
A good pallet conveyor does more than move a pallet from point A to point B.
It needs to connect the equipment before and after it while maintaining a stable material flow.
Baoli provides pallet conveyor solutions for both can production and canning applications, including:
Finished Pallet Transfer
Empty Pallet Supply
End-of-Line Packaging
Depalletizing Area Pallet Handling
Empty Pallet Return
By combining the appropriate conveyor type with the customer's equipment layout, Baoli can build a practical pallet handling system around the actual production requirements.
Pallet Dispenser → Empty Pallet Conveyor → Can Palletizer
Can Palletizer → Pallet Conveyor → Strapping → Stretch Wrapping
Pallet Conveyor → Empty Can Depalletizer
Depalletizer → Empty Pallet Conveyor → Pallet Stacking Machine
These configurations can be modified according to the customer's factory layout and production requirements.
Baoli provides automation equipment for can production and canning-related material handling applications.
