Product Description
Configuration Options
Built on ABB’s IRB460 or IRB660 robots, MESH’s bag palletizer palletizes bulk products in flexible packaging found in grain, fertilizer, pet food, chemicals, and other related applications. MESH pre-engineered solution has been optimized through years of experience to handle real bag palletizing challenges like shifting contents, variable dimensions, and complex stacking requirements.
A claw-style, bottom-support gripper runs up to 25 kg per pick and keeps placement steady on imperfect bags. Vacuum style grippers are also available in dual and single pick designs, providing a more economical solution at lower overall throughput.
Throughput is up to 22 bags per minute, depending on bag type, fill, and pattern. The STANDARD layout runs two pallet stations. The COMPACT layout runs one for tight floors. Each cell ships pre-wired and tested for a fast start-up.
Our ABB Palletizer for Bags Comes with these Standard Options Included:
- Two outbound palletizing positions
- One infeed conveyor pick position
- 48” x 40” max pallet size
- Fully tested at factory on two box sizes
- Shipped fully assembled and ready for operation
- Festo or SMC Compressed air prep and lockable air dump.
- Pedestal HMI stand with start, stop, reset and E-stop push buttons
- 120 Volt AC Control panel
- Comprehensive 1 year warranty
- PalletXBuilder software, MESH’s out of the box solution for GUI based pallet pattern generation. No programming expertise required.
