The RAESCO Series 100 and 200 palletizing system has a growing install base across the country. The robust system has proven itself to be the answer to the Ice mans problems. The series 100 and 200 (Single or Dual Chamber Units) systems are standardized in components and construction and each system is built to handle virtually any bag size used in the industry. A 5 minute change over will take you from a 7 lb. bag to a Bale bag.

Carolina Ice Company in Kinston, NC Receives 2 Series 100 palletizers
Carolina Ice couldn’t be happier with their new single chamber palletizing systems to loose stack 10 Lb. bags at a rate of 35 bags per/min. The palletizers eliminated the need to pre wrap the pallets before being sent up a ramp to the stretch wrapper. Consistent tight stacks that hold together and fit within the confines of the pallets are some of the many fine benefits of having a RAESCO series 100 or 200 palletizing system

RAESCO understands that real estate in most Ice plants is hard to come by, especially in the packaging room. Our systems were designed with that thought in mind. Other palletizing solutions out there require modifications to the packaging rooms or building additions to fit cumbersome complicated conveyors and robotic handling equipment. Our system generally takes up less than 100 square feet of floor space. Our versatility in conveying product allows palletizing systems to fit in extremely tight spaces.

See what our clients have to say about there packaged ice palletizer:
I can bag, stack and pack 21 pallets in 3 hours all by myself! Thanks to the RAESCO palletizer. I can now perfectly stack my pallets 3 high in my freezer. Over memorial day 2006 I ran from 8:30 AM until 6:30 PM without stopping once. This is the missing piece of automation we have needed.![]()

We installed 2 RAESCO palletizing systems to fully automate our 325 ton plant. The installation was quite a challenge during memorial day weekend with 90 degree temperatures in Chicago but both ISSI and RAESCO were up to the task. The machines are running without a hitch and my entire production can now be handled by 2 men.![]()

This is the most innovative technology this industry has ever seen. We are very pleased and impressed by the user friendliness of the equipment and are not at all intimidated by the technology used. Thanks for a job well done!![]()

Wish list, a palletizer that fits into a small area and palletizes individual bags. Great news we found one!! RAESCO. It fits into our very small packaging room and is performing at 40 bags per minute extremely well. As with all new equipment there were bugs to be worked out. That’s where Rich and his team excel. When we had a problem they solved it in a matter of minutes, and had us back to running. Whatever it takes they do it.
Thanks Raesco.![]()
