Robotic Sack Palletising in minimal floorspace
Pacepacker has been working closely with Fanuc Robotics to develop a new Robotic Sack Palletising systems, using a robot which can achieve maximum benchmark speeds of 1,800 cycles per hour.
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.
