Bag Palletizers

M72B & 75 High Speed

Automatic Low Level Palletizing

These automatic bag palletizers can improve your production, increase employee safety, and deliver consistently square and stable pallet loads. They are hardworking machines built to handle heavy loads with gentle ease and deliver 24/7 dependability on your packaging line.

Robust and Reliable Bag Palletizing Solutions

A-B-C bag palletizers provide reliable automation to replace manual bag handling, eliminating a tiresome and repetitive task and reducing costs. Built with A-B-C’s trademark robust construction, these rugged machines orient and group heavy bagged products and stack them into square, secure pallet loads. They employ multiple features to ensure smooth bag transport and transfer and accommodate inherent bag variations. With smart electronics that simplify operation and enable seamless plant integration, these bag palletizers will bring top performance to your packaging line.

  • Floor level operation reduces costs and saves space
  • Compact footprint for easy installation
  • Easy access, high visibility design with full machine guarding
  • Bag infeed from low, medium, or high level conveyor
  • Simple menu-driven operation and changeover, plus pallet-builder at the HMI
  • Palletize large bags of agricultural, chemical and building supply products, food ingredients, flours and more

Key Features That Benefit Your Production

Engineered for Reliable Performance

Quality built to provide top production on your packaging line

Rugged steel construction, proven production features and attention to detail deliver top performance:

  • Heavy gauge steel frames are welded and bolted for maximum strength and durability
  • Quiet and efficient electric motor drives provide efficient and reliable performance
  • Elevator tables are constructed of reinforced stainless steel to minimize friction during layer accumulation. Tapered edges to ensure stable load transfer.
  • Counterweighted design with variable frequency motor drive ensures smooth vertical transport with no hard starts/stops or related component wear
  • Automatic layer centering by PLC-controlled layer retainer bar
Economical Floor Level Operation

Low level palletizing keeps production at floor level for low cost of operation

The clean, open construction and floor level access points of this palletizer keep your line personnel at floor level, simplify routine maintenance, and eliminate the need for costly overhead platforms. On-floor operation allows your plant personnel to visibly monitor palletizer operation while performing other tasks.

While this palletizer operates at floor level, it accepts cases from any level. So, you can enjoy the benefits of low level palletizing with case feed at low, medium or high level.

Intelligent Machine Control

Intelligent machine control simplifies operation, changeover and maintenance

At the touchscreen, operation is one-touch easy. You can control all functions, diagnostics, and changeover settings, and set up daily, shift, or batch runs at the menu-driven interface. Real-time operating data is available at a glance. Preventive maintenance messages automatically flag periodic or routine tasks.

Need to run a new product, add or change a pallet configuration? The integrated pallet builder software makes it easy and intuitive.

Gentle Bag Orientation
M72B Gentle Bag Orientation

Bags are gently turned 90, 180 or 270 degrees (depending on the desired pattern) by a pop-up turning device. Bags may be positioned so that the bottom (butt) of the bag or the printed panel will face out on the pallet.

The M75 high speed bag palletizer utilizes a servo-operated overhead orienting device.

Features for Positive Load Transfer
M72B Features for Positive Load Transfer

Rugged mechanical load transfer and counterweighted elevator table

Product layers are moved to the pallet by either dual chain-driven transfer mechanisms or powered overhead transfer, depending on the application. These transfer methods provide powerful and consistent load transfer with optimized speed.

Elevator Table Designed for Effortless Layer Transport
M72B Elevator Table

Features for seamless layer forming

The elevator table is crafted of stainless steel and reinforced to provide smooth load transfer for years to come. It has a roller stripper plate which reduces friction, allowing bag transfer without squeezing or shifting the contents which can deform the bag. The edge of the transfer table is stainless steel in a tapered design to allow bags to glide smoothly from table to pallet.

In addition, the table is counterweighted to provide stable vertical transport with soft start and stop. This design transports heavy loads while minimizing pull on the drive motor to ensure long operating life.

Automatic Layer Centering and Squaring
M72B Automatic Layer Centering and Squaring

Accommodates product and layer variations to build perfect palletloads

A rear layer retainer plate and two side layer squaring plates ensure that each layer is centered on the pallet.

The layer is held firmly to retain it squarely during the deposit cycle.

Future Proof Technology

Designed for your bag palletizing needs today and in the future

While each palletizer is pre-programmed upon delivery to accommodate your current requirements, the integrated pallet builder software makes it easy to add new configurations and patterns at the operator console.

The modular design of the 72 series palletizers allows adaptability for new specifications, and a complete selection of bag infeed and pallet discharge alternatives are available, as well as many bag orienting and accumulation options.
