An assembly (10) to dispatch bags (14). The assembly (10) includes a conveyor (12) that provides rows of bags (14), with the rows of bags (14) supported on a first delivery assembly (18) that moves each row downward to form stacks (47) of bags (14) on a second delivery assembly (34). Stacks (14) of the bags (14) are then moved downward to be moved into containers or boxes.

Embodiments of a system and a method for determining an edge hardness value for a cementitious board can be used to effectively determine the hardness of the board after it has been made and dried at a predetermined location, such as, at a stacking station, for example. An actuator assembly can manipulate a punch such that the punch is inserted into one of the edges of one of the cementitious boards in the stacker in a controlled manner. A force gauge can be associated with the punch to measure the resistance force exerted by the cementitious board in response to the punch being inserted into its edge. The measured resistance force can be used to determine the edge hardness value.

In order to keep the overall length of an insertion feed unit small despite high variability, a vertical paternoster buffer is used as a buffer therein.

The invention relates to a supply device for the supply of filled sacks to a palletizing device, comprising a main supply belt for the supply of a first row of filled sacks on a sliding area of the palletizing device, wherein beneath the main supply belt at least one secondary feed belt is assembled for the supply of another row of filled sacks on the sliding area beneath a first row of filled sacks.

A sheet stacking system includes a main conveyor configured to carry sheets in a downstream direction, an accumulator section downstream of the main conveyor configured to receive the sheets from the main conveyor, at least one tamping plate in the accumulator section, and at least one linear motor connected to the at least one tamping plate. The at least one linear motor is configured to move the at least one tamping plate back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the downstream direction to tamp a stack of the sheets in the accumulator section.

The present invention provides a method and mechanism to build individual stacks of boards and collect them as a layer from a stream of single boards in the same orientation and direction positioned between a board feeding mechanism such as an unscrambler machine and a board handling mechanism such as a stacking machine in the pallet industry.

For the construction of synthetic grass playing fields, a plurality of panels (1, 1, 1) are manufactured by injection molding and stacked in groups (50). Each stacked group (50) is placed on a distributor vehicle (90) moved along a covering direction (Z), so that the panels (1) which compose the group (50) are able to rotate relative to each other with respect to a main direction (X) orthogonal to the covering direction (Z), so that a row of panels is constructed.

The object of the invention refers to a universal automated stacking device comprising a pre-stacking table (1) and a claw (2) such that the pre-stacking table (1) comprises at least one support assembly (13) and at least one side centering device (14) attached to a chassis (12), and the claw (2) comprising at least one pair of pliers (3) attached to a frame (7), the at least one support assembly (13) being attached to at least one chassis guide (12) with capacity of displacing over the guides (20, 21), and the at least one pair of pliers (3) being fixed to the frame (7) via an arm (4) which is attached to a crossbar (5) with capacity of displacing over a rail (6) of the frame (7), and each arm (4) being attached to a slide (8) of the crossbar (5) with capacity of displacing through the slide (8).

A method for operating a palletizing device for palletizing piece goods, is suitable for operating a palletizing device including at least one control device and at least one display device, wherein it is displayed to a user on the display device in the response to a stop of the palletizing device, which piece goods may/must be removed from the process and/or which piece goods may/must not be removed from the process. The palletizing device for palletizing piece goods includes a conveying device with a conveying element for conveying piece goods and a depositing table, wherein the conveying device includes a rotating device for rotating the piece goods. A control device and a display device are furthermore provided, wherein the control device is suitable and formed to carry out the above-described method.
