PRODUCT INFORMATION
Working Principle
Filled bags are arranged on a pallet at the robot picking position. The 4-axis robot moves to the selected bag and grips it using a piercing-type bag gripper. The robot lifts the bag from the pallet and transfers it to the cutting station. At the cutting position, the bag is moved across or lowered onto the cutting device. The bag body is slit while positioned above the receiving hopper. The robot then performs a programmed shaking and tilting movement to discharge the powder or granular material from the opened bag. The shaking pattern and duration can be adjusted according to the material flowability and residual material requirements. After the material has been discharged, the robot moves the empty bag to the designated collection area. The robot then returns to the pallet and begins the next unloading cycle.

FAQ
What does this robotic bag unloading system do?
The system picks filled bags from a pallet, transfers them to a cutting station, opens the bags, shakes out the material and moves the empty bags to a collection position.
What type of robot is used?
The system uses a 4-axis articulated robot designed for repeated bag handling and unloading operations.
What robot payloads are available?
The system can be configured with 100 kg or 180 kg payload robots according to the bag weight, gripper weight and required working radius.
What type of gripper is used?
A piercing-type bag gripper is used to penetrate and securely hold the bag during picking, cutting and shaking.
Can the gripper be customized?
Yes. The gripper dimensions, piercing arrangement and gripping structure can be customized according to the bag size, bag material and product weight.
How is the bag opened?
The robot transfers the bag to a customized cutting station, where the bag is slit above the receiving hopper.
How is residual material removed from the bag?
After cutting, the robot performs programmed shaking and tilting movements to help discharge residual material.
What happens to the empty bag?
The robot transfers the empty bag to a collection bin, collection position or optional empty-bag compactor.
Can the material-contact parts be made of stainless steel?
Yes. The receiving hopper, screen and other material-contact components can be manufactured in stainless steel when required.
What materials can the system handle?
The system can be designed for bagged powders and granular materials. The final solution depends on the material flowability, dust level, corrosiveness and other characteristics.
Is the unloading capacity fixed?
No. Actual capacity depends on the bag size, bag weight, cutting method, shaking time, material flowability and pallet arrangement.
Can the system be integrated with downstream conveying equipment?
Yes. The receiving hopper can be connected to screw conveyors, pneumatic conveyors, vacuum conveyors or other material-transfer equipment.
What information is required for a quotation?
Please provide the material, bag size and weight, required capacity, receiving hopper dimensions and destination country.
