Robotic Palletizers
Ready for a palletizing system upgrade?
Automating the palletizing of bags using a robotic palletizer can provide one of the fastest returns on investment!
Robotic palletizers automatically stack bags, boxes, and buckets on pallets for shipping or storage. They can operate 24/7, effectively eliminating the need for a team of operators at the end of a packaging line stacking heavy bags on pallets. They are space saving solutions that can be oriented in any direction to accept bag inflow from a new or existing conveying system.
What types of bagging systems are good candidates for a robotic palletizer?
Typically, a bagging system that handles the fewest number of products, uses one type of bag, and requires at least 3,000 bags filled per 8 hour day is a good candidate for a robotic palletizer. Conversely, bagging systems with multiple products being packaged into paper and plastic bags could require more of a customized solution for robotic palletizing.

Single or Dual Stack Robotic Palletizers
This type of palletizing system uses a Fanuc or Kawasaki palletizing robot in a single or dual stacking configuration for bagging operations filling 12 bags per minute or less. In this type of system an operator is still required to load empty pallets into the bag stack zone. Safety fences surround the end of the bagging line, as well as the robot to ensure that the robot is not active in the zone where a forklift operator retrieves a filled pallet.
Process Description:
Empty pallets with slip sheets are placed manually by an operator in a designated place on the floor to the left or right of the robotic arm. Filled bags are conveyed through a flattening conveyor, accumulation conveyor, squaring conveyor, and finally to a pick conveyor at the end of the bagging line. The robotic arm picks up the bags and uniformly stacks them on the empty pallet. Once the pallet is full, a forklift operator will drive into the cage to retrieve the palletized bags. If the system allows for dual stacking, the robot will start to stack bags on the empty pallet to the left or right of the robot, while the forklift operator safely retrieves the full pallet. Full pallets are then taken to a stretch wrapper machine to secure the bags into place on the pallet. Then, the pallets are transported to shipping or storage.

Fully Automatic Robotic Palletizers
These types of systems also use a Fanuc or Kawasaki palletizing robot, but include additional equipment to fully automate end of line palletizing. This type of automated system is for bagging operations filling 15 bags or more per minute.
Process Description:
An automatic pallet dispenser pushes an empty pallet onto the robot stacking conveyor. The empty pallet is conveyed to an optional slip sheet applicator that places a slip sheet on top of the pallet. Next, the pallet with the slip sheet is conveyed into the bag stack zone. The robotic arm and bag tool picks up filled bags from the pick conveyor and uniformly stacks them on the empty pallet. When the pallet is full, it is conveyed to an optional automatic stretch wrapper that spins and wraps the bags to secure them into place. Then the filled pallet is conveyed to the end of the line outside of the safety fence, where a fork truck operator retrieves the palletized bags for shipping or storage.
