Valve bag automation works at its peak when every component from magazine to palletizer comes from one source. Our in-house manufacturing delivers smooth system integration and streamlined production at the industry's highest speeds - proven through 100 million bags at 99.5% accuracy.
Manufacturing packaging equipment since 1976 gave us the engineering foundation to invent the first robotic valve bag placer in 2006. Six generations of refinement since then have eliminated common failure points while increasing speeds 40% beyond standard systems.
PICKING AND PLACING The vertical magazine and robotic valve bag placer handle 20 bags per minute per robot. Each bag requires precise picking, valve opening and exact positioning at the filling station. Our Gen 6 system delivers higher empty bag capacity in a smaller footprint, running 40% faster than standard systems.
FILLING The PASCO® Dynamic Filler, engineered from decades of installation data, eliminates common wear points while maintaining exact fill weights. Material-specific filling technology – air power for concrete, impeller drives for powders, auger feeds for precise metering – ensures consistent product flow without waste.
PALLETIZING Single-robot palletizing systems maintain 27 bags per minute across full shifts. Twin-robot cells handle 50 bags per minute, designed to run at 80% capacity for extended system life. Our 8-million-cycle end-of-arm tooling maintains bag integrity from pickup through stacking.
Every transition point works seamlessly because it’s all engineered to run as one system, delivering 99.7% uptime from first pick to final pallet.
