Khan Paletten – Pallet sorting line for efficient and safe pallet handling

Khan Paletten, based in Germany, has invested in a standard pallet sorting line from Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS).
With this installation, the company improves its internal pallet logistics and reduces operational costs.
The system combines efficiency, ergonomics and safety, meeting the daily requirements of the pallet industry.

Machine description

The PSS pallet sorting line allows sorting up to 550 pallets per hour with only one operator and one forklift driver.
It is suitable for Euro pallets, industrial pallets, one-way pallets, and pool types such as Chep, LPR and IPP, enabling Khan Paletten to process multiple pallet flows in one automated system.

The modular design allows the line to be easily expanded with additional sorting stations or stackers as production needs evolve.

Benefits for operators

The line has been developed with a focus on ergonomics, clarity and safety:

• Heavy manual work is eliminated by full automation.

• The operator works from a fixed, safe position without surrounding forklift traffic.

• Ergonomic working height reduces strain and fatigue.

• Fewer repetitive tasks, allowing focus on quality inspection and process monitoring.

This setup creates a safe, structured and efficient workplace.

Benefits for the company

The investment in the PSS sorting line provides Khan Paletten with clear and measurable advantages:

• Efficient sorting with minimal labour – one operator and one forklift driver.

• High throughput of up to 550 pallets per hour.

• Measured performance through automatic pallet counting.

• Daily CSV reporting with data per operator, pallet type and total output.

• 50% fewer forklift movements thanks to automated infeed and outfeed.

• Improved workplace safety through fixed positions and protective zones.

• Lower operating costs through reduced handling and efficient workflow.

• Modular configuration allows future upgrades or extensions.

Efficiency and monitoring

The line is equipped with PSS SCADA for real-time monitoring and reporting.
The system automatically generates CSV files with:

• pallets sorted per operator,

• cycle times and downtime,

• total daily or shift output.

With the PSS App, Khan Paletten can access live production data anytime, anywhere, enabling continuous insight and control of performance.

Results

The PSS pallet sorting line provides Khan Paletten with an efficient, safe and data-driven pallet process.
The combination of automation, SCADA monitoring and ergonomic design increases output, reduces forklift movements and lowers cost per pallet.
