Haver & Boecker has introduced two new robotic solutions, the Amicus Depal Edition and Amicus Pal Edition, designed to automate the depalletizing and palletizing stages of bulk material packing lines. These systems aim to streamline operations from empty to filled bags while improving safety and reducing manual handling.

According to Bernhard Pagenkemper, Chief Sales Officer at Haver & Boecker Machinery Division, the Amicus range is intended to complement existing packing lines by handling bags, drums and other materials with precision, reducing downtime and reliance on manual monitoring.

The Amicus Depal uses image recognition to detect and pick up bag bundles, transferring them from pallets to the automatic bag placer. The system includes an end-of-arm tool developed by Haver & Boecker that can handle unstrapped bundles of 15 to 20 empty bags and adapt to various bag sizes without tool changes. When combined with a packing machine and bag applicator, the Depal can achieve an output of up to 6,000 bags per hour. Its compact design allows for easy integration into existing lines, while setup is designed to minimize downtime. The system is also intended to be straightforward to operate and maintain.

The Amicus Pal robotic palletizer completes the process by stacking filled bags, pails, canisters and drums on pallets. A smart HMI interface enables adjustments to different container and pallet sizes. Optional equipment such as slip sheet, film and pallet magazines is also available. The Pal can operate with two packing machines simultaneously and can be adapted to a variety of production setups.

Both Depal and Pal are designed for continuous operation and can be integrated with Haver & Boecker’s range of bulk packing solutions.
