Palletising robots replaced manual handling

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Jan 8, 2003

Mutltiple bag handling end effectors pick up more than one bag at a time before moving out over the pallet and placing each bag individually into position.

Pacepacker, the Braintree based specialists in automatic sack packing and palletising machinery, are proud to announce further expansions to their product range of palletising robots in response to increased concerns over manual handling regulations.

To enable greater speed, Pacepacker has pioneered the development of multiple bag handling end effectors.

These units pick up more than one bag at a time before moving out over the pallet and placing each bag individually into position.

Stacking rates of up to twenty-five bags per minute have been achieved on 25kg bags.

Traditionally such speeds were only possible with large high level palletisers taking one product at a time.

But the robot cell not only takes up a fraction of the floor space of the high level machine, it can also handle more than one product at a time giving unrivalled flexibility for the producer.

Customers have found no deterioration in stack quality and also considerably lower maintenance costs by using the Pacepacker robotic palletising cell.

Add to this twenty-four hour service cover and modem support and you have the perfect package for inexpensive, compact, peace of mind palletising.
