A special robotic palletizing
system from Columbia/Okura
allows manufacturers to stack
loose-filled bags in overlapping
patterns to enhance load
stability, while maintaining
little or no product overhang on
the pallet.
Working with a specially
designed end effector, the
robotic palletizer can shift the
product to one end of the bag,
allowing the opposite “floppy”
end to be overlapped during
stacking.
In addition to increasing load
stability the overlapping
prevents loads from crowning in
the center.
The result is that palletized
loads of bagged product can be
double and triple stacked for
more effective use of warehouse
space.
