High Speed Sack and Bag
Handling System
Pharmaceutical Dispensing Productivity
Cynergy Ergonomics Case Study
REQUIREMENT:
Pharmaceutical manufacturer requires sacks and bags of
various sizes and construction materials to be de-palletized
and dumped into a hopper. This process must be performed by
a single operator requiring zero physical exertion, and done
so in a manner that has shorter tact times than if the
operation was performed by two operators managing the bags
and sacks manually. This system needs to operate in a hot,
humid environment.
SOLUTION:
A pneumatic/electrical handling system is provided which
utilizes a servo driven/PLC controlled zero-gravity lifting
unit coupled to a single hand controlled pneumatic vacuum
head. The unit activates automatically as the vacuum head is
brought into contact with the bag or sack; the load follows
the guidance of the operators hand and is released via a
positive pressure “blow off” onto a dispersion tray. The
single head is designed to accommodate sacks and bags of
varying sizes; the lifting and dumping of the sacks is
performed as quickly as the operator chooses to move. The
electrical components are housed in a positive pressure
enclosure providing environmental control for the PLC/servo
drive components.
RELATED APPLICATIONS:
Bulk bag solids handling, bag powder handling, forklift
super sack lifting, lift bag calculation, brownies lift bag,
hoist attachments – sack lift, air handling bag canister,
forklift bag handling, bag lifting device.
