New and Improved Robotic Bagging Line

Our robotic bagging line helps us pack salt efficiently and keep up with demand throughout winter. It can handle two different bag sizes at the same time, increasing our packing capacity and helping us prepare orders for nationwide delivery.

We source our brown rock salt from Winsford in Cheshire and our white de-icing salt from the Mediterranean.

How our robotic bagging line works

First, loose salt is loaded into the bagging line’s hopper. The hopper then releases a measured quantity into each empty bag, with the equipment set for the pack size being filled.

We offer 10kg bags and large packs, which weigh approximately 23.5kg each. For customers who need larger quantities, we also supply bulk bags.

Once filled, the bags are sealed and move along the conveyor to the palletiser. This robotic arm lifts and stacks the bags neatly onto a pallet.

The loaded pallet then moves to the hooding machine, which stretches a protective plastic hood over the bags. This helps protect them from the weather and keeps the load secure during transport.

Finally, the pallet is loaded onto a delivery vehicle using a forklift, ready for dispatch.
