The Wood pallet making machine production line is a highly automated system for producing European standard (EUR/EPAL) wooden pallets. It integrates the full manufacturing process, including raw material preparation, pallet assembly and nailing, corner cutting, board turning, branding and marking, and final stacking and palletizing.
It is mainly used to produce EUR-1 standard pallets, EUR-2 pallets, and half-size pallets. All finished pallets comply with EPAL certification and IPPC/ISPM15 heat treatment standards, and are marked with EPAL, EUR, and heat treatment stamps. Using pine or spruce as raw materials, the pallets feature a four-way forklift entry design, strong structure, and high load capacity, making them widely used in European logistics, warehousing, and transportation industries.
The system can be customized according to different production requirements, with a capacity of about 200–500 pallets per hour depending on configuration. It adopts a PLC control system, offering easy operation, stable performance, and low maintenance cost, making it an ideal solution for modern wooden pallet manufacturing plants.
