The business was fast growing, and needed to increase productivity with more bags palletized per minute.

Using a KR 180-2 PA robot, the system allowed the customer   to create a more efficient bagging operation. This was possible due to the robot’s high flexibility to create the required pallet patterns and its high speed of up to 18 bags per minute.  

Since the robot installation, aggregates increased 30% from 4,000 bags a shift to 5,700, and soils saw a 23% increase. Because of the high flexibility and productivity of the robot, Pefferlaw Peat saved an operator from having to do a strenuous task that could result in injury; increasing safety.
