Case Study: Mölnlycke Healthcare achieves clean-room, high-capacity robotic palletizing with Bastian Solutions

Mölnlycke Health Care - Customer Case Study

Mölnlycke Healthcare, a world-leading manufacturer of single‑use wound care and surgical products, needed a clean‑room‑compatible material handling solution for a new Brunswick, Maine facility. Their challenges included efficiently transporting and palletizing SKUs while maintaining clean‑room standards, stacking pallets over 90 inches without manual safety risks, ensuring cases on each pallet matched the correct product batch, and providing an easy‑to‑operate system that a single operator could manage. Mölnlycke turned to Bastian Solutions to design and integrate the solution.

Bastian Solutions delivered a robotic palletizing system with a custom automated clean‑room sluice, Shuttleworth Slip‑Torque accumulation conveyor, 2‑in/2‑out robotic palletizer, automatic pallet dispensers, labelers, case sealers, ceiling‑hung conveyors and supporting conveyors/spirals. The system now completes over 16 pallets per hour (with room to grow), stacks pallets taller than 90 inches safely, uses scanners to ensure batch accuracy, and lets a single warehouse operator run the palletizer plus other duties; the automated sluice preserves clean‑room pressure and the Slip‑Torque conveyor enables accumulation without belts under cases.
