Haver & Boecker has introduced the Amicus Depal Edition and Pal Edition robotic depalletizer and palletizer, which both can complement and completely automate packing lines from empty to full bags to enhance productivity and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Amicus Depal utilizes image recognition, which allows the Depal to detect bag bundles quickly and effectively, then securely grip them using the unique End of Arm Tool (EOAT) developed by the company before transferring them from the pallet to the automatic bag placer, seamlessly integrating with an existing packing line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When paired with a packing machine and bag applicator, the Depal offers an output of up to 6,000 bags per hour. The end-of-arm tool is both effective and versatile with the ability to grip unstrapped empty bag bundles of 15-20 bags and accommodate different bag sizes without the need for a tool change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depal offers a compact design allowing for easy integration to any packing line, even those with limited space. Setup requires little downtime, and therefore can be completed quickly. In addition to providing increased precision, the Depal is easy to operate and simple to maintain, resulting in enhanced efficiency and increased uptime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continuing Haver and Boecker\u2019s focus on end-to-end automation, the Amicus Pal robotic palletizer completes the packing\/filling process by taking the filled bags, pails, canisters and drums and stacks them on a pallet. The smart HMI allows for intuitive adaptation to customer containers and pallet sizing, saving time and boosting efficiency. Its capacity, flexibility for palletizing various products and space-saving form make it a popular choice for a wide range of operations. The end-of-arm tool is adapted to your container type and production needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haver also offers optional slip sheet, film and pallet magazines for the Pal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Pal seamlessly integrates with Haver & Boecker\u2019s full line of bulk packing equipment to provide customers with a tailored solution and full system integration. Custom-built tools are available for specific customer applications. Like the Depal, the Pal can work with two packing machines at the same time. The PAL can also be configured to work seamlessly with a variety of packing machines, making it an automation solution for any plant,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRobots improve the efficiency of processes, provide more work capacity and create a stable, reliable and safe packing cycle. The Amicus \u2014 which is the Latin word for \u2018friend\u2019 \u2014 complements existing packing lines,\u201d added Bernhard Pagenkemper, chief sales officer, Machinery Division. \u201cThe advanced technology increases efficiency by precisely handling the bags, drums and other materials, leading to less downtime due to manual processes and required monitoring by employees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
