Palletising robots take over manual
tasks
Pacepacker has expanded its range of palletising robots in response to increased concerns over manual handling regulations.
Pacepacker has expanded its range of palletising robots in response to increased concerns over manual handling regulations To enable greater speed, Pacepacker has pioneered the development of multiple bag handling end effectors
These units pick up more than one bag at a time before moving out over the pallet and placing each bag individually into position.
Stacking rates of up to 25 bags per minute have been achieved on 25kg bags.
Traditionally such speeds were only possible with large high-level palletisers taking one product at a time.
But the robot cell not only takes up a fraction of the floor space of the high level machine, it can also handle more than one product at a time giving unrivalled flexibility for the producer.
Customers have found no deterioration in stack quality and also considerably lower maintenance costs by using the Pacepacker robotic palletising cell.
