  • Brand: glzon
  • Model: GZM

Product Essence: Where Precision Meets Pail Freedom

Shanghai Guangzhi’s Pail Denester achieves 300 pails/hour de-nesting speed with 99.9% seal integrity – combining multi-stage vision inspection, adaptive vacuum grippers, and collision-mapping robotics to remove lids, unstack containers, and reject damaged pails. Engineered for 5-30L plastic/metal pails with ≤2mm positional tolerance, it eliminates manual handling risks while reducing opening errors by 95% in chemical/food lines.
