High Level Infeed Bag Palletizers - Series 7000

How Series 7000 High Level Infeed Bag Palletizer Work

Precise bag handling with a unique system of turning crosses and belt conveyors allows desired bag orientation with gentle row placement.

Bags enter the system onto the heavy duty gravity roller conveyor. From the gravity roller conveyor, bags continue to the gapping belt conveyor for separation. The gapping belt conveyor then generates the appropriate gap needed to feed the bags to the turning cross. The turning cross orient the bags appropriately by lifting the bags and turning them +90°, 180° or -90°, as necessary. The bags continue across belt conveyor sections of the turning cross to the row forming belt where rows are generated for palletizing purposes.

The rows of product are pushed onto a stripper plate, which will then accumulate full layers and place them on the pallet. Each row is pushed independently from the other onto the stripper plate. The finger-style pallet dispenser dispenses empty pallets to the palletizing area. The dispenser places the empty pallet onto a pallet conveyor. The slip sheet dispenser places a bottom sheet on the pallet. The pallet then proceeds to the palletizing area. Once the pallet is in the palletizing area, it can receive layers of product. Once a full load has been attained, it is discharged onto a pallet conveyor and ultimately unloaded by a forklift truck.
