In today’s logistics and warehousing sector, automation plays a crucial role.
Te Slaa Pallets in the Netherlands has invested in automating the sorting and repair of used pallets to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve customer service.
With the pallet sorting line from Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS), the company has modernised its workflow and prepared for future growth.
Sorting used pallets is traditionally labour-intensive.
By automating with PSS machines, Te Slaa Pallets can inspect, sort and route pallets for repair or reuse much faster.
The sorting line minimises manual handling, reduces errors and enables greater throughput with fewer operators — resulting in consistent quality and higher capacity.
Te Slaa Pallets handles a wide range of pallet types, including GMA pallets, block pallets and Euro pallets.
Each type has its own dimensions, load capacity and use:
GMA pallets are common in the food industry for their uniform size.
Block pallets are ideal for heavy loads.
Euro pallets meet European standards and are widely used in distribution.
The PSS sorting line automatically recognises and categorises these pallets to ensure accurate sorting, repair and reuse.
The PSS pallet sorting line is modular by design and can be configured to match the specific requirements of Te Slaa Pallets.
The system automates both inspection and classification and can be expanded with modules for repair or stacking.
This flexible setup grows with production needs and ensures long-term adaptability.
By sorting, repairing and reusing pallets efficiently, Te Slaa Pallets reduces waste and the need for new raw materials.
Automation directly supports waste reduction and sustainable reuse, aligning with modern environmental standards and the goals of its customers.
Extending pallet lifecycles also reduces the overall environmental impact of the supply chain.
PSS technology enhances the repair process with automatic counting, logging and quality checks.
Te Slaa Pallets can guarantee that each pallet meets strict safety and reuse standards.
Production data is recorded for full traceability and transparent quality monitoring.
With the PSS pallet sorting line, Te Slaa Pallets takes a significant step toward a future-ready operation.
The company now manages the complexity of different pallet types more efficiently, with less manual labour and lower cost per pallet.
Automation delivers tangible gains in time, labour and process quality while supporting a sustainable business approach.
