Solutions that work
SkyDrive Architecture
Engineering elevated above standards.
We have relocated 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 rigorous standards of the food and pet food industries.
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 – it's a physical guarantee of product protection 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 adjust to a new batch of goods on its own, 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. Thanks to 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 any 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 represents a tailored 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 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 production of cans, it is crucial to seamlessly fit the new machine into the existing layout of the hall. Our system isfully customizable– we design it to allow pallet entry from any side and to discharge cans onto the conveyor atexactly the height required by your line.
Key benefit:You gain a device perfectly tailored to your plant, which guaranteesmaximum feeding rateregardless 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 fumes 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 you to fully utilize the bottling line's capacity 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 during 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 requiresthe highest cleanlinessand a rapid response to changing packaging formats.The design of the depalletizer made ofstainless steeland the magnetic gripping system perfectly fit intothe sanitary regime
of modern facilities.Key benefit:CanSmart Detect™ technologyallows for immediate switching between cans ofdifferent weights (e.g., 200g, 400g, 800g).Changing the assortment is donewithout downtimeand without the need for manual calibration of the device by a technician.

Vacuum Gripper
VacuumGrip™
Versatility without material limitations.
Expand the capabilities of the machine 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 separators. The system automatically manages the stack of pallets, buffering them in an integrated warehouse. The result? Total 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 assumptions.

You can also freely resize and reposition this element, as well as adjust any parameters including background, border, and many more. You can also set animations for text elements, so when the user views them on the screen, they will display with the selected effect.
Does the system work with automated 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 value your time. From the moment you place your order to having a functioning 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 production 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 at the top of the machine. This ensures that the ground around the pallet is free from lubricants and easy to clean, which is crucial in industries with high sanitary standards.
Can the machine handle 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 Smart-Detect series magnetic gripper, the machine automatically adjusts to different diameters and heights of cans (e.g., 200ml, 400ml, 800ml) without the need for mechanical retooling or head changes.
