Robotic Bag Dump Working Stages
The Robotic Bag Dump Station, integrated into the industrial plant, operates through the following steps:
- Material Transfer: The bags filled with dry bulk material are picked up from pallets and transported to the bag dump unit with the help of an articulated robot arm.
- Cutting Process: The bag is torn open by the bag cutting knife in the unit to release its contents.
- Material Discharge: The material from the cut bag is directed into the hopper for discharge.
- Waste Collection: Once the bags are fully emptied, they are gathered and moved to the waste disposal system.
