Abstract

In order to improve the loading efficiency of large-volume and standardized bulk materials, Anqiu Boyang Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has designed and manufactured a set of overall propelled loading system for bulk goods based on the modular design theory according to the customized demands of beer manufacturers. This integrated loading system is based on modular design principles and is customized to meet the specific needs of clients (e.g., breweries). To ensure positioning accuracy and system stability while taking into account characteristics such as material form, volume, weight, and gripper type, a Kawasaki CP500L four-axis palletizing robot. Additionally, when there are significant changes in the loading environment, parameters of the conveying system, palletizing robot, and pushing system can be appropriately adjusted according to the specific load size or material type. In extreme cases, replacing the palletizing robot with one that has higher load capacity can ensure loading efficiency and operational stability.

Taking the beer loading process as an example, we compared and analyzed the loading efficiency, construction investment cost, labor cost, operation cost and other indexes of the overall propelled loading system and the conveyor belt transportation assisted manual loading operation. The results show that: the loading efficiency of the overall propulsive loading system is 3 times higher than that of the conveyor belt transportation auxiliary manual loading mode, and it can save 92.20% of the labor cost per year.
