Filling bags with pellets, sealing them and placing on a conveyor belt headed toward the palletizing station.
At the end of the conveyor, the bags are picked up by a very productive robot. This singular machine is programmed to pick each bag off the line, position it correctly and stack it on a pallet. It can keep up with the full production of the plant and is surely a saving grace for the workers who would otherwise have to handle and stack 40 Lb bags all day.
