operator placing bags on valve bag filling machines

These valve bag filling machines are used to fill 50 Lb. paper valve bags with different types of high-quality silica sand.  After filling, bags are conveyed to an automatic palletizer that stacks the bags on a pallet.

This type of silica sand is a high-quality round and sub-round silica sand with mesh sizes ranging between 8×16 and 100.  It has many uses including:

  • turf sand used for infill to protect artificial turf and increase its life expectancy
  • roofing sand for specialty roofing tiles, flooring titles, and colored grout
  • building and industrial sands as an ideal base for construction, concrete, bricks, foundry, and flooring
  • water filtration sand used in wells, filters, and other water fixtures
  • glass sand for large quantity glass production
  • oil and gas hydraulic fracturing sand

robotic depalletizer and bag opening system for chemical powders

One of our manufacturers recently designed and implemented an automatic depalletizer and bag dump station for a customer in the chemical industry. The system involves a robot depalletizer that unstacks 50 lb. bags of chemical powders from a shipping pallet located to the left and right side of the robot.  The bags are picked up 3 at a time and placed 1 at a time on a conveyor that transports them to an inclined belt conveyor that discharges them into automatic bag dump station. In this article, we’ll provide an overview of the system, explain how the robot depalletizer system works using a vision system, and outline the features and benefits of the system.
