Abstract
In the loading of pallets (10) with cartons (11) arranged in layers (carton layer 14), intermediate layers (24) consisting of paper or the like frequently have to be introduced between the carton layers (14). The pallets (10) are loaded by a palletizer (13) which is known for these purposes and which has a pivotable and multiply bendable cantilever arm (19). The intermediate layers (24) are laid onto the carton layers (14) by this cantilever arm (19) with a suction holder (23). At the same time, portions of a continuous web of material (25) running off from a reel (26) are drawn onto the completed carton layer (14) and then severed to the correct size from the web of material (25).
