This automatic drum palletizer robot uses an arm to pick up and stack drums on shipping pallets. The end-of-arm tool can be adjusted, and the stacking pattern can be re-programmed to easily accept different types and sizes of drums. The robot is also set up to stack the drums with the labels pointing in the same direction.

This 25 lb. open mouth bagging system is for sale. It has been lightly used and is in good working condition. It can be used to fill 25 lb. open mouth bags or smaller. Feed the system with material by discharging from an existing mixer, bulk bag unloader, or other types of conveying systems. The system includes a belt fed net weigh bagging scale which allows it to handle moderately flowing products like animal feed with molasses, crumbled feed, rice bran, rice hulls, crumb rubber, or specialty aggregates like aquarium or sands.

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.

What is ratholing in powder flow?
Ratholing occurs in hoppers, bins, and intermediate bulk containers when cohesive powders with interlocking particles build up or cake on the walls or sides of the container. This occurs more frequently when powders are discharged using a butterfly valve or slide valve and the powder flow takes place directly above the outlet. This creates a funnel flow effect where the cohesive powders flow directly above the outlet, but eventually build up on the sides reducing or stopping flow and powder discharge all together. This results in increased processing time including container disassembly and cleaning.

Bagging Corn Seed from Buckhorn Probox into Bag Filling Machine
This system precisely unloads free-flowing seeds, feed, corn, and more from a Buckhorn CenterFlow seed pro box into open mouth bags using an open mouth bag filler. The system can also be used to bag other free-flowing agricultural products like bird seed, wheat seed, deer corn, animal feed, fertilizer, pellets, and more.

View of Bagging Machine and High-Speed Bag Closer in an Automated Packaging System
Rice producers face several challenges when it comes to bagging and packaging their product. Manual bagging processes can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors. To overcome these challenges, a USA-based rice producer sought an automated packaging system that could increase production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve bagging accuracy. In this case study, we’ll examine how the company successfully implemented the system, resulting in significant time and cost savings.

This simple system is used to safely unload bulk feed tote bags (also called FIBC, bulk bags, Super Sacks®, or jumbo sacks) containing dry, free-flowing products by gravity into an open mouth bagging machine and scale. The bagging machine would then weigh out a desired amount of feed into each open mouth bag, with 40lb. and 50lb. bags being the most popular. This system is custom engineered for repackaging and down packing businesses.

This unitizing system automatically applies a water-based glue, or palletizing adhesive, to plastic bags, paper bags, or corrugated boxes on a conveyor before they are palletized. This non-hazardous glue helps to secure the palletized bags in place to prevent slipping and sliding in the pallet stack.

Blend metal powders evenly inside a stainless steel intermediate bulk container.
Prevent powder bridging, rat holing, or segregation with a cone valve that is integrated into the bottom of each IBC container!
Stainless steel intermediate bulk containers and IBC blending systems are a special type of custom blending equipment that are widely used in various industries for their durability and functionality in bulk powder processing. These containers are designed to store and transport large volumes of powders, liquids, and granules in a safe and secure manner.
These types of powder blending systems are constructed using high-quality finished stainless steel, making them strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-clean. They are available in various sizes and shapes and can be custom designed to fit specific metal powder handling requirements. Stainless steel IBC containers and systems are a popular choice for industries that require powder mixing solutions for the bulk processing of powders, such as powder metallurgy, chemical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, toll blending, and food industries.
