Heavy bags at the end of the production line need to be palletized either by hand or with a robotic palletizer.
Trans Automation Technologies robotic palletizers and conveyors for bagged products will palletize bags without putting your employees at risk and speed up the process while increasing profitability.
Case Study
Frank Pellets, a subsidiary of Frank Lumber, manufactures compressed wood fuel pellets which are shipped in large heavy bags.
Every day up to 3 employees would spend the entire day doing the backbreaking work of stacking the bags onto pallets at the end of the production line.
The heavy bags come out of the filling machines at a rate of 10 bags per minute, which is challenging for people to keep up with.
Palletizing Bags of Concrete, No Problem
One robotic palletizer easily handles 94 pound and 60 pound bags of concrete at 15 bags per minute and can work around the clock.
Before automation, it took 2 people to move 12 bags per minute.
