The twin-belt turning device allows for palletizing of bags filled with bulk material in a more gentle way than before. An alternative to existing clamp-style turning devices, the new device works with two separately driven belt conveyors. By applying a differential speed between both belts, bags to be palletized are turned by 90 deg (in special cases, also 180 deg). The twin-belt turning device is used with the company’s paletpac high-capacity palletizer, which has a stack height of up to 2,400 mm. — Beumer Group GmbH & Co. KG, Beckum, Germany
