STAINLESS STEEL LINED BASKET
Labor-Saving Spacer and Pallet Removal Machine
IDEAL FOR SIMPLE PALLET REPLACEMENT
AND RECOVERY OF FREEZER SEPARATORS

Built to take the rugged treatment of meat processing and freezing operations. Industry proven to be the #1 spacer removal system!

Controls Are Easily Accessible
Control arm swings and pivots to multiple positions, thus allowing the operator to stand anywhere within a large area.
Custom Design
Cherry's is able to design a machine to meet your particular needs and requirements. Larger machines are available to permit consolidation of various size loads.
Floor Level Access
Machine is loaded and unloaded at floor level with entry or removal from either the front or the side.
Adjustable Clamping Plate
Capable of accommodating a wide range of load heights, the clamping plate descends to the top of the load and secures the load before the machine reclines.
Easy Pallet Exchange
With the machine in its reclined position, pallets can be readily exchanged. Pallets pull easily in or out on a built-in roller bed.
Ergonomically Correct Height
A working height of only 28 inches permits rapid removal of freezer spacers, while protecting against back strain.


  • Fast, efficient loading at ground level
  • Permits removal of spacers in just seconds
  • Reduces back strain and employee injuries, ultimately lowering insurance costs
  • Spacers can be removed from product as soon as frozen and are thus available for re-use
  • Preclamping the load breaks the frozen bond between product and spacer
  • Eliminates stacking and re-stacking
  • Prompt pay-back (often as short as 3 months)
  • No more double-handling of product with consequent back and arm injuries
  • Tighter control, leading to increased life of spacers and fewer purchases of new ones

HOW IT WORKS

TO EXCHANGE PALLETS:
1. The load is placed in the machine close to the sidewall. The clamp is activated and secures the load.
2. The machine tilts 105° thus releasing the weight of the load from the pallet. The clamp is then released and the pallet can be quickly removed and/or replaced.
3. A small roller-bed assists pallet replacement.
4. With the new pallet in place, the sequence is reversed and the load turned to its original position, ready for removal.

TO REMOVE FREEZER SPACERS:
1. The load is placed in the machine close to the sidewall. The clamp is activated and secures the load.
2. The machine tilts 90°, the clamp is then released and freezer spacers can easily be pulled out.

Benefits of Stainless Steel
The many unique values provided by stainless steel make it a powerful candidate in materials selection. Engineers, specifiers and designers often underestimate or overlook these values because of what is viewed as the higher initial cost of stainless steel. However, over the total life of a project, stainless is often the best value option.

Corrosion resistance:
Can resist corrosion in most acids, alkaline solutions, and chlorine bearing environments, properties which are utilized in process plants.
Hygiene:
The easy cleaning ability of stainless makes it the first choice for strict hygiene conditions, such as food processing plants.
Aesthetic appearance:
The bright, easily maintained surface of stainless steel provides a modern and attractive appearance. Stainless steel needs less maintenance and its hygienic qualities means that you do not have to use harsh cleaners to get a clean surface.
Impact resistance:
High toughness, from elevated temperatures to far below freezing, making these steels particularly suited to cryogenic applications.
Long term value:
When the total life cycle costs are considered, stainless is often the least expensive material option.

IN-LINE STAINLESS PALLET/SPACER REMOVAL SYSTEM
With the load in the machine, a clamping plate is then lowered to secure the load. The load is then tipped 90° and the clamping plate is released. With the load now in a tilted position, the product is loosened to a degree that allows the freezer spacers to be easily removed by the operator. Spacers are simply pulled out and stacked to the side, the machine will then stand up the load to it's original position. The fork lift operator will then remove the load from the equipment by approaching between the yellow protection posts.
