DPL-100
DPL-100 COMPACT
DEPALLETIZER
Entry-level compact depalletizer | mobile can depal | small craft beverage packaging line
The CODI DPL-100 is a compact, mobile can depalletizer with a switch-raised pallet and automatic sweep, built for smaller lines and limited floor space. Not every operation needs a fully automated depal. It's straightforward by design: the operator raises the pallet with a switch, the sweep engages, and cans advance onto the line. It comes with an integrated single filer conveyor with a multi-angle transfer plate, VFD-controlled drives for precise speed control, and safety locks that prevent components from dropping during a power failure.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Simple, Reliable Operation
One switch raises the pallet. The automatic sweep takes it from there. There's no complicated setup or programming required, which means less training time and fewer things to go wrong mid-run
Integrated Single Filer with Transfer Plate
A built-in single filer conveyor with a multi-angle transfer plate comes standard, making it straightforward to connect directly to a twist rinser or the next piece of equipment in your line.
VFD-Controlled Sweep and Single Filer
Separate variable frequency drives on the sweep and single filer give you precise control over how fast cans transfer and feed into the track, so you can match the pace of your line without guesswork.
Safety Locks on Power Failure
Components lock in place automatically if power goes out. It's a small detail that matters when you're working around a machine that lifts a full pallet.

Maintenance & Protection
Spare Parts Packages: Curated Tier 1 (critical wear parts) and Tier 2 maintenance kits to maximize production uptime.
Ionized Air Rinser Support: Power and mounting provisions for inline ionized air can cleaning.
True Single-Phase Plug-and-Play Power
Powered entirely by a standard 110–240 VAC single-phase 15A circuit.
Completely eliminates the need to run expensive 3-phase electrical drops, high-voltage panels, or compressed air piping to the depalletizing station.
Powered by precision Teknic ClearPath integrated DC servo/stepper motors for reliable, quiet, and energy-efficient motion.
Streamlined 3-Switch Operator Station
Simple, robust control block with three industrial selector switches:Hoist Switch: Manual Up / Off / Down control for fast, effortless layer leveling.
Sweep Switch: Forward / Off / Reverse carriage control.
Conveyor Switch: On / Off control for outfeed conveyance.
Intuitive operation requires minimal training, allowing operators to run pallets confidently from day one.
Smart Optical Sweep Protection
Despite its simplified manual controls, the sweeping carriage features automated photoeye interlocks:Conveyor Clear Sensor: Automatically pauses the sweeping arm if downstream cans back up on the deadplate, resuming smoothly once clear to prevent can pinching and tip-overs.
Sweep Limit Sensors: Electronic barrel sensors at forward and reverse stroke limits automatically halt carriage travel at the end of each layer.
Ground-Level Pallet Jack Loading
Open walk-in base allows operators to roll full pallets directly into the machine using a standard manual pallet jack.
Eliminates the need for expensive powered pallet conveyors or dedicated forklift staging areas.
Structural guide tracks center the pallet as it enters, ensuring square alignment with the lift carriage.
Compact Low-Clearance Footprint
At only 114" overall height, the DPL-100 fits comfortably in facilities with ceilings as low as 130" (under 11 feet).
Delivers the labor savings and speed of an automated depalletizer in a footprint small enough for taprooms, small-batch packaging suites, and pilot brewing setups.

FAQ
What is the difference between the DPL-100 and the DPL-250?
The DPL-100 is semi-automatic. The operator controls hoist elevation and manually sweeps each layer of cans off the pallet onto the discharge table using an ergonomic sweep arm. The DPL-250 automates the sweep and lift sequence so the operator is only required for slip sheet and top frame removal.
How much floor space does the DPL-100 require?
It holds one of the smallest footprints in industrial depalletizing, fitting into tight brewery and co-packing layouts where a traditional tower depalletizer would never fit.
What power and utilities does it use?
Standard 110V single-phase power and a basic clean compressed air connection. Because it runs without heavy three-phase electrical requirements, installation cost is kept low.
What equipment does the DPL-100 feed into?
It sweeps full layers onto a rotary accumulation table or inline discharge conveyor, single-filing cans directly into a rinser or canning line.
