  • AUTOMATED BAG STACKER
    Publication number: 20080267760
    Abstract: A method and system for precisely stacking bags by transferring them from a conveyor system onto a bag stacking table that allows the bags to be stacked in a uniform alignment without risking damage to the ends of the bags. As the conveyor feeds bags onto the bag stacking table, the speed of the bag is reduced until it reaches a predetermined stationary position. A friction paddle is used to slow each bag and send a signal to a cylinder to incrementally lower the grid table so that each bag can be stacked with relative accuracy in a way that does not disrupt the normal feed of bags from the conveyor system. Once each set of bags has been stacked, it is removed from the bag stacking table and the process can be repeated.
