Pearson Packaging Systems

Any bag inserter can open a bag and drop it into a case.

Keeping that bag seated, cuffed, and square during bag fill is what actually protects the line.

That is the difference between a bag inserter that simply runs and one that delivers a sealed, shippable case every time.

The Pearson BI25 is built around that distinction.

Vacuum plenums grip both sides of the bag and pull it fully open. A mandrel inserts it squarely into the case. Cuffing fingers rotate and lock the bag against the case wall so it holds position through bag fill and sealing.

Every cycle. Up to 25 cases per minute. From continuous roll stock.

But the real value is not just insertion speed.

It is what happens during bag fill.

No shifting. No collapsing under product weight. No contamination from a bag that folded against the case wall. No failed seals that trace back to a placement issue three stations upstream.

An anti-static bar controls film cling before the bag ever reaches the plenums. A dancer roller tensioning system keeps tube stock feeding reliably. Low-bag detection alerts operators before supply runs out.

Changeover between case sizes takes roughly five minutes with semi-automatic 3-axis adjustments and guided HMI changeover steps. No special tools. No reprogramming.

For teams running bag-in-box lines, that means more than a faster inserter. It means an insertion step designed to protect product quality, reduce rework, and hold consistency across every SKU and every shift.

How the load is built at the palletizer determines how it arrives.

It is also where things go wrong.

Unstable loads mean damaged cases and rejected deliveries.
Every pallet exchange is a pause the line didn't need.
A stack built off-pattern won't hold through storage or transit.

Heavy-product palletizing has more failure points than it looks like.

The Pearson RPC-PH is built around all of them.

One FANUC robot. One end-of-arm tool. Three jobs automated within the entire pallet cycle:

- Picks the empty pallet from the rack and stages it at the build station
- Places a base slip sheet, then adds slip sheets between every tier to lock the load together
- Accumulates sealed cases on the zoned roller infeed and picks each one using consistent vacuum grip
- Builds the load layer by layer according to the recipe — consistent, square, every time
- Discharges the finished load while the next pallet stages, so the cell never stops between loads

And the safety system is built for a live production environment:

- Full floor-mounted guarding keeps operators clear of the robot cell
- Muting light curtains at the pallet exit let finished loads exit without stopping the cell
- An access gate in the guarding keeps pallet and slip sheet restocking fast without compromising protection
- The 4-light beacon gives operators a clear read on cell status from across the floor

Heavy product.
Stable loads.
Protected operators.
One compact cell.

For advanced manufacturing operations, the challenge is no longer whether to automate palletizing.

It is how to keep high-mix output moving when cases, crates, pallet patterns, and downstream flow keep changing.

That is especially true in dairy, where corrugated cases, SRPs, and reusable plastic crates share the same end-of-line environment.

Different formats.
Different tooling.
Different pallet patterns.
Same uptime expectations.

In this application, the RPC-MX brings that complexity under control inside one coordinated robotic palletizing system.

This cell is engineered around the realities of high-mix palletizing:

• Dual robotic palletizing zones
• Multi-case vacuum picking for RSC cases
• Clamp-style tooling for reusable plastic crates
• Automated pallet dispensing and discharge flow
• Quick automated EOAT exchange
• User-centric HMI guidance for changeover and recovery

Cases and crates need different handling methods, but they should not become two separate end-of-line problems.

The RPC-MX helps high-mix lines keep output moving across formats without turning every packaging change into palletizing friction.
