CARICAMAT® automatic truck loader

Automatic truck loading Vacuum system: working principles The unique Ventomatic® CARICAMAT®, automatic truck loading system, was introduced in 1969. The large number of installations successfully performing all over the world confirms the optimal conceptual design of the CARICAMAT automatic truck loader. The compact design and the flexibility of the equipment assures fast and smooth installation and commissioning either in new packing buildings or in existing structures, as replacement of manual loaders. The vacuum system is surely the “heart” of the CARICAMAT® automatic truck loader and it is...

Working process Bag pacing system for a continuos and controlled flow of bags. Semi-layer transferring unit Each part-layer is transferred onto a roller way under the loading heads to form two complete bag layers. Phase 1 Bag turning device Incoming bags are orientated according to the layer to be formed. Phase 3 Phase 2 Semi-layer forming group The bags are alternatively grouped in two part-layers: - No. 2 - straight bags/layer This special shape of the suction cup uniformly distributes the vacuum over the bag surface assuring a soft and effective pick-up of the bag, totally avoiding the bag...

Operator interface CARICAMAT® loading advantages The Operator panel is an IP65 Industrial Graphic Terminal. It displays the dynamic mimic of the automatic loader and provides both a clear and detailed overview and a close monitoring of all operations. Additionally, it is possible to have an on-board camera system connected to a pair of monitors installed close to the operator panel. With a set of cameras and with the flexibility of the machine, the operator panels can be re-located in a remote control unit to allow an operator to control a multiple number of CARICAMAT® automatic truck loaders....

Change-over time 02nd step: thanks to the light beam and the joy stick, the operator can position the loader in a few seconds The steps 4,5 and 6 in the previous page highlight the "change-over time" between trucks or in other words: the time required to re-start the bag loading cycle after the first truck is completely loaded. More production with less investement Ventomatic® solutions consists of one high capacity packer (typically a 10-spout rotary packer for 150 tons per hour), one automatic bag applicator and one CARICAMAT® automatic truck loader having an expected capacity of over 3000 bags/h...
