These high speed robotic palletizers use robotic arms to stack bags on shipping pallets. Automatic palletizing systems are available for new and existing packaging lines. We can provide new, used, or gantry palletizer systems to fit your existing space and budget.
High speed robotic palletizers provide one of the fastest returns on investment. They can be positioned in any direction to accept bags, boxes, or pouches from a conveyor system. They minimize the risk of repetitive injuries that happen from stacking filled bags all day on shipping pallets, while reducing staffing requirements and turnover at the same time. If your budget does not allow for a robotic bag palletizing system at this time, we also offer a set of conveyors and a pneumatic pallet lift for manually stacking bags at the end of a packaging line.

These types of robots are usually placed at the end of a packaging line. Robots, such as the Fanuc robotic bag palletizer, have revolutionized the packaging industry and have proven to be one of the best returns on investment for upgrading an existing bag filling system. These types of robots can also be used to depalletize or automatically unstack bags to be fed into downstream bulk processing equipment.
This box palletizing robot can pick up multiple boxes at once and stack them on a shipping pallet. It can pick up different sized boxes from multiple infeed conveyors on both sides of the robot. An automatic pallet dispenser can line up multiple pallets at once to reduce downtime as full pallets are discharged from the box stack zone. Choose from different stacking patterns to fit your specific box and pallet sizes.
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
Automating the stacking, or palletizing, of bags at the end of a packaging line with a used robotic palletizer can provide a fast return on investment. Robotic palletizers can be oriented in any direction to accept bag inflow from a new or existing bagging system. They minimize the risk of repetitive injuries caused by stacking heavy bags on shipping pallets, while simultaneously reducing labor and staffing requirements.
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.
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 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.
The video below shows a pallet stacking robot stacking 50 lb. paper valve bags onto a pallet located on the floor per the programmed bag placement design. This robot was added to an existing bag filling system to reduce labor costs and increase automation.
Automatic pallet dispenser, slip sheet applicator, and robot stack zone conveyor (System 1)
When speed and bagging rate is important, automating the dispensing of pallets and slip sheets helps to reduce labor requirements for feeding shipping pallets into an automated palletizing system with a robot.
Bagging system, bag sewing system, and bag handling conveyors
This bagging plant fills 40KG open mouth plastic bags with different types of livestock feed for poultry, pigs, dairy cows, sheep, and horses. It includes a high-speed bagging machine, bag handling conveyors, and a palletizing robot with automatic pallet dispenser and automated pallet wrapper.
This packaging and palletizing line fills craft paper bags with 25, 40, or 50 lbs. of livestock minerals and supplements. It includes a hopper, net weigh bag filling machine, high-speed bag sewing system, and robotic palletizer with 2 bag stack zones. It replaced an existing bag filling and packaging line at the feed service company that has been in business since 1946.
End-of-line robot picking up 100 lb. bag of minerals using a bag gripper tool
A contract packaging company recently added an end-of-line robot to their existing valve bag filling system. The new robotic palletizing system includes bag handling and robotic pick conveyors, a used Fanuc robotic arm that has been reconditioned with a bag gripper tool, and an automated pallet and slip sheet dispenser.
With the added palletizing automation, the entire system is now able to fill and stack 100 lb. paper valve bags at a rate of 10-12 bags/minute. The company can also quickly swap out settings to fill and stack 50 lb. valve bags at a rate of 15-16 bags/minute.
