Applications · Palletizing

A palletizing robot for the end of your line.

Manual sack stacking is the heaviest task on the floor and the hardest to cover on the second shift. A palletizing cell does it the same way all shift, every shift — and with Robotix the robot is ours: we install it, maintain it and monitor it for a monthly fee.

The application

Palletizing and stacking

The end of the line at a sugar mill, a cement plant, a flour mill, a fertiliser producer or a bottling plant: 42 to 69 kg sacks, shrink-wrapped packs or boxes that someone lifts, turns and stacks onto a pallet, eight hours a day. It is the heaviest task on the floor, the one with the highest turnover, and the hardest to cover on the second shift. It is also the best fit for an arm: the movement is the same every time and the pallet pattern is fixed.

  • What we measure: units per hour, weight, stack height and pallet pattern.
  • Typical product: sugar, cement, flour, coffee, fertiliser, concrete block and beverage packs.
  • Typical equipment: a high-payload palletizing robot with a sack gripper, vacuum end effector or pack gripper.
  • A good sign: a single line, a single load format and a stable pallet pattern.
  • Logtix monitoring included in the fee: the cell is watched from our control centre.

Before the visit

When a palletizing robot fits

These are the signals we measure during the technical visit. If your operation ticks most of them, the task probably fits.

  • A stable load format

    Sacks, packs or boxes with consistent dimensions and weight. Recipe-driven format changes work; unpredictable formats do not.

  • A defined pallet pattern

    The stacking pattern is programmed and repeated. Different heights and patterns per product are handled as recipes.

  • Volume that supports the cell

    The fee is measured against the cost of the shift it covers. A line that runs a few hours a month has nothing to measure against.

  • Room at the end of the line

    The cell needs its safety envelope. During the technical visit we measure the real layout, not the drawing.

Frequently asked

What people ask about this application

Can stacking 50 kg sacks be robotized?
Yes. Palletizing and sack stacking is the application we deploy most, and we work ranges from 42 to 69 kg across sugar, cement, flour, coffee, fertiliser and concrete block. What decides the fit is not weight alone — the pallet pattern has to be stable and the sack format consistent. We measure that during the technical visit.
Can a palletizing robot handle several products on the same line?
Yes, as long as the formats are defined: each product is programmed as a recipe with its own pattern and stack height, and changeover is a selection, not a reprogram. What does not work is a format that changes without notice — we review that at the assessment.
How fast does it palletize?
It depends on weight, reach and pattern, which is why we do not publish a single number. The starting point is your line's real rate: the cell is sized to sustain it shift after shift, and units per hour are measured during the technical visit.

How many sacks does your crew stack per shift?

Book an assessment. We measure the task in your plant and tell you, with numbers, whether robotic palletizing fits.
