Robotic Dry Bin Tipper

General Information:

The Robotic Dry Bin Tipper is typically used for unloading fresh produce from bins onto a grading line. The robotic head runs on either a 2-axis or 3-axis gantry system which is fully configurable to a customer's needs. 

Stacks of bins are delivered to the system via forklift or chaintrack conveyor. The robotic head clasps the top bin in the stack, clamps a lid over the top of the bin and then moves to a position over the line infeed. The bin is then driven forward at an upward angle, gradually revealing the top lip of each bin and allowing produce to unload onto a Takeaway Conveyor or Evenflow. The robotic head then stacks empty bins, which are removed from the system by forklift, chain track or pneumatic pusher.

This system is fully configurable to accommodate any number of full and empty bin stacks, stacks of various heights, and different physical layouts.
