The debander robot locates, cuts and removes plastic straps automatically.
Strap and label (if any) are separated!
While feeding the strap into the shredder, it also checks whether a label is present on the strap. When the shredder detects the label, it cuts it off and separates it from the strap.
In the beverage industry, where efficiency and precision are essential, the automation of logistics processes plays a key role. One of the biggest challenges in this sector is the fast and safe removal of plastic strapping from pallets. The Robertpack debander robot offers a state-of-the-art solution specifically designed to optimize the debanding process, reduce costs, and enhance workplace safety.
The Robertpack debander robot is equipped with advanced sensor and cutting technology that enables it to automatically locate, precisely cut, and fully remove plastic straps from pallets. What makes this robot unique is its ability to efficiently separate waste materials. Once the bands are cut, they are fed directly into a shredder and processed into small pieces. At the same time, the robot detects whether labels are present on the bands and cuts them out separately for individual disposal.
This results in two clean waste streams:
This separate waste processing not only contributes to a more sustainable production process but also significantly reduces disposal costs.
Manually removing plastic bands is often time-consuming and hazardous – especially in an industry where speed and accuracy are critical. The Robertpack debander robot fully automates this step, improving both safety and productivity.
The robot performs complete automated cycles, removing all predefined bands. After each cycle, it checks whether all bands have been successfully removed – ensuring a reliable and consistent process. This level of precision makes it an essential part of modern production and distribution systems.
Bavaria has been a Robertpack customer from day one.
Some time ago, we received a request from Bavaria to develop a new robotic palletising system that can palletise 100,000 cans of beer per hour, while allowing for maximum flexibility in terms of the picking, packing and palletising process. The system should be capable of processing about 80 different variations with almost no modifications.
