Solutions that work
SkyDrive Architecture
Engineering elevated above standards.
We have moved all key mechanisms and drives to the top of the structure, freeing the lower working area. SkyDrive is synonymous with hygiene: the absence of lubricants at the base and easy access for cleaning the hall ensure that the machine perfectly meets the stringent standards of the food and pet food industry.
NeoForce Gripper
Unwavering grip power.
At the heart of the system is a head that uses neodymium magnets, ensuring a secure hold of a full layer of cans without the need for electricity. This means your product is safe even in the event of a sudden power outage – a physical guarantee of protection for your goods that never fails.
OmniControl OS
Intelligence hidden in simplicity.
Advanced machine control encapsulated in an intuitive interface. Forget about complicated settings and manual reconfiguration – the system fully automates the depalletization process. Just one click is enough for the machine to adapt to a new batch of goods, eliminating human errors and reducing downtime to zero.
LayerFlow Autoshift
Continuity without dead points.
The LayerFlow system eliminates the weakest link in the process: the removal of interlayer spacers. With the integrated gripper, spacers are picked up and stored during the hidden working time of the main head. This means a smooth flow of cans on the line, without a secondary pause in the production cycle.

The foundations of our professionalism
For three decades, we have been optimizing production processes throughout Poland. Our experience guarantees that the depalletizer will be precisely tailored to your infrastructure, rather than just "set up" in the hall.
Lat experience
Our machines operate in the most demanding facilities of the food, brewing, and pet food industries. Each implementation is for us an individual analysis and a real increase in efficiency for the client.
Clients
We do not compromise on quality. We use only components from world leaders: Siemens, Festo, Bosch Rexroth. This ensures that your service is faster, and spare parts are readily available worldwide.
Business partners
Food processing and canned goods production
Full integration with your production architecture.
In mass canning production, seamless integration of the new machine into the existing layout of the hall is crucial. Our system isfully customizable– we design it to allow pallet entry from any side and to discharge cans onto a conveyor atexactly the height required by your line.
Key benefit:You gain a device perfectly tailored to your facility, ensuringmaximum supply cycleregardless of can format. You relieve staff and eliminatethe risk of micro-damage to packaging, which is absolutely critical for maintaining the microbiological safety of food.
Manufacturers of household chemicals
Safety in the most demanding environments.
Working with aggressive media, dust, or vapors requires equipment that won't fail.Thanks to the unique architecture of SkyDrive Architecture™(drives on top), sensitive machine components areisolated from contaminants,
which drastically extends the lifespan of components.Key benefit:Safe and precise depalletization of metal packages (paints, aerosols, oils) in challenging conditions. The system guaranteeslayer stability
Craft and regional breweries
Scale production without increasing fixed costs.
As the popularity of your beer grows, manually unloading pallets becomes a barrier to efficiency. Our system allows for full utilization of the bottling line without the need to hire additional staff.
Key benefit: You scale production while maintaining 100% process repeatability. You eliminate the risk of human errors and can damage when feeding onto the conveyor, which is crucial for expensive craft beer batches.
Animal food production
Hygiene and flexibility in Premium standard. The pet food industry requires the highest purity and a rapid response to changing packaging formats. The design of the depalletizer made of stainless steel and a magnetic gripping system perfectly fits into the sanitary regime of modern facilities. Key benefit: The CanSmart Detect™ technology allows immediate switching between cans of different weights (e.g., 200g, 400g, 800g) without downtime and without the need for manual calibration of the device by a technician.

Vacuum Gripper
VacuumGrip™
Versatility without material limitations.
Expand the machine's capabilities beyond steel packaging. The advanced vacuum module allows for seamless depalletization of glass jars, aluminum cans, and plastic containers (PET). This guarantees flexibility as your product portfolio evolves.
Automatic pallet exchange
AutoPallet Exchange™
Full autonomy of the production line.
Remove the operator's obligation to manually pick up empty pallets and dividers. The system automatically manages the stack of pallets, buffering them in an integrated warehouse. The result? Complete cycle fluidity, zero logistical downtime, and maximum optimization of forklift working time.
SDMS - collection of production data
Your production based on hard data.
Discover the proprietary Industry 4.0 system from STER-PROJEKT. SDMS monitors machine parameters in real-time, tracks key performance indicators (OEE), and generates clear reports. Turn intuition into precise knowledge, identify bottlenecks, and make business decisions based on facts, not guesses.

This is a text element. Double-click this element to edit the text. You can also freely resize and reposition this element, as well as adjust any parameters including background, border, and many others. You can also set animations for text elements, so when a user views them on the screen, they will appear with the selected effect.
Does the system work with automatic conveyors?
Yes, the STER-PROJEKT depalletizer is ready for operation in full automation (Industry 4.0). We can integrate it with your existing conveyor system or provide a complete solution with height adjustment ranging from 700 to 2350 mm.
How long does it take to implement the production machine?
We respect your time. From the moment of ordering to having a working machine in your facility, it usually takes only 3 months. The on-site assembly takes between 2 to 5 days, which minimizes downtime on the line to an absolute minimum.
What is the situation regarding cleanliness? We produce food (Pet Food/Beverage).
The construction has been designed according to High-Clean standards. All drive mechanisms and pneumatics are located in the upper part of the machine. This keeps the area around the pallet free from lubricants and easy to clean, which is crucial in industries with high sanitary regulations.
Will the machine handle the high pallets?
Yes. We typically handle pallets up to a height of 2550 mm, and in the extended version even up to 2800 mm. This allows for maximum utilization of transport and storage space, which directly reduces the logistics costs of your facility.
What types of cans does the machine handle? Do I need to buy a new head when changing formats?
Our depalletizer is fully universal for steel packaging. Thanks to the magnetic gripper from the Smart-Detect series, the machine automatically adjusts to different diameters and heights of cans (e.g., 200ml, 400ml, 800ml) without the need for mechanical retooling or head replacements.
