Abstract: A system and a method for maintaining, transferring and transporting a flexible package. The system includes a manipulating system, preferably a five axis robot, for transferring and displacing the flexible package and a lift-assist platform positioned within a reach of the manipulating system for transporting the package and for supporting a weight of the flexible package. The system may be used more specifically for the transport and transfer of upright flexible packages. The system simplifies the tool supported by the robot, thus allowing use of a smaller robot.

Abstract: A dosing system for loose compressible material having heterogeneous granulometry and/or density and outputting the material though a main outlet is disclosed. The dosing system comprises a receiving structure for receiving the material to be dosed. A homogenizing system closes the receiving structure outlet and normalizes the material. A first conveying system acts as a base for the receiving structure, and transports the material towards the homogenizing system. A leveling adjustment system downstream of the homogenizing system levels the homogenized material. A second conveying system receives material from the homogenizing system and transports the material beyond the leveling adjustment system towards the main outlet. The homogenizing system, the leveling adjustment system and the second conveying system define a transition volume in which the material travels between the homogenizing system and the second conveying system. A method for dosing such a material is also disclosed.
