AUTOMATED VALVE BAG PLACEMENT
Keep workers safe. Keep production moving.
Your bag filling station demands consistent throughput in hazardous environments. Our valve bag placing system delivers up to 40 bags per minute with dual robots, or 22 bags per minute with a single robot, freeing your team for safer, more valuable operations.
ENGINEERED EFFICIENCY
Purpose-driven engineering from index to pallet
Vertical bag loading maximizes capacity in tight spaces. An enclosed pick box protects components from dust and debris while reducing operator exposure. Indexing conveyors stage empty bags for robotic placement and route filled bags to palletizing at target weight.
REFINED PROGRAMMING & HMI
Optimized valve bag pick and placement
More than 15 years of runtime data inform system motion and control. Instead of adding complexity, unnecessary movements are engineered out. Single-robot systems reach up to 22 bags per minute, while dual-robot systems reach up to 40 even in environments that challenge standard automation.
YOUR PARTNER FOR COMPLETE LINE INTEGRATION
Integrate with existing equipment or outfit a full line
Our valve bag placers integrate with existing equipment or with PASCO® valve bag fillers and palletizing systems as part of a complete line. Unified controls synchronize placement, filling and palletizing speeds. One manufacturer supporting the entire system keeps service direct and coordination simple.

OUR MACHINES AT WORK
Frequently Asked Questions About Valve Bag Placers
Have a question we didn't cover here? Our applications engineers can walk through your line with you.
Talk to an engineerHow fast is a robotic bag placer?
Up to 22 bags per minute with a single robot and up to 40 bags per minute with dual robots.
Who invented the robotic valve bag placer?
PASCO invented the first robotic valve bag placer in 2006. Now in its sixth generation, it runs 40% faster than standard systems and has placed more than 100 million bags.
How reliable is robotic bag placement?
PASCO valve bag placers have a 99.5% placement success rate across more than 100 million bags placed.
What bag sizes and types can an automatic bag placer handle?
Paper and plastic valve bags from 20 to 94 lbs, with changeover between sizes in under a minute. Integrated pre-opening and conditioning prepare each bag before it is placed.
Will a PASCO bag placer work with the packer I already have?
Yes. PASCO placers integrate with most packers, so you can automate placement without replacing the filler.
Why automate valve bag placement?
Manual bag placement is fast, repetitive work in dust, which makes it hard to staff and hard to keep consistent. A valve bag placer takes people out of that hazard and keeps the packer supplied.
How does a bag placer machine hold up in dusty plants?
An enclosed pick box and sealed dust containment protect components from dust and debris and reduce operator exposure. Placement motion is refined from more than 15 years of runtime data.
Can one supplier handle placing, filling and palletizing?
Yes. PASCO valve bag placers work with PASCO valve bag fillers and palletizers under unified controls that sync placement, filling and palletizing speeds. One manufacturer supports the whole line.
How much space does a valve bag placer need?
Less than earlier generations. Gen 6 has a smaller footprint with higher empty bag capacity, and vertical bag loading fits more empty bags into tight spaces.
What does PASCO need to scope a valve bag placer?
Your bag sizes and materials, packer make and number of spouts, the product being packed and your target bags per minute.
