Automated palletisation solutions can be supplied using one of two methods depending upon the required throughput. The first is via a three axis robotic arm which collects the sacks from a roller conveyor and positions them upon the pallet one at a time. Multiple pallet configurations and stacking heights can be achieved.
The second method if for high throughputs and collects the bags in a similar fashion to that of the roboitic arm system. The main difference is in the layering method whereby the machine creates a full layer of bags upon an opening plate system under which the empty pallet is located. When a full layer has been created the plates open and the layer is moved to the pallet. This operation is repeated a number of times until the full pallet stack is created. Between layers the pallet is pushed upwards onto the underside of the plate to flatten the layer.
