The present disclosure provides a fries box-packing machine, relating to the technical field of food packaging. The fries box-packing machine includes a frame body, a box storage component, and a box-taking mechanism. The box-taking mechanism is arranged on the upper mounting plate, and the box-taking mechanism is configured to sequentially move the paper box of the box storage component below the upper mounting plate. The lifting mechanism of the box-taking mechanism of the fries box-packing machine provided by the present disclosure can elevate the rotating mounting frame, thereby adjusting the height of the suction cup assembly. This allows the suction cup assembly to move the paper box from the upper end of the upper mounting plate to the lower end of the upper mounting plate. When the suction cup assembly attaches to the paper box, the lifting mechanism separates the paper box from the box storage component.

A pallet tower for high-density pallet storage which provides for loading and unloading of pallets from a pallet storage area via mechanical operation. The pallet tower has a base frame defining a pallet receiving area, the pallet receiving area for receiving a pallet: a containment frame attached to a support latch frame and/or the base frame, the containment frame defining a pallet storage area for storing the pallet; and a support latch frame attached to the base frame, the support latch frame having a support latch operable between an open configuration and a closed configuration, and the support latch in the closed configuration for supporting the pallet when the pallet is in the pallet storage area.

Automated container accumulation and delivery systems and methods may include a magazine body, a slide, and a workstation. The magazine body may receive and store a plurality of containers in vertical magazine lanes. Upon request, a container may be released from a lowest position of a magazine lane, and the slide may guide the released container to the workstation for processing. In addition, remaining containers within the magazine lane from which the container was released may be moved or indexed downward in order to prepare another container for release from the lowest position of the magazine lane responsive to a subsequent request.
