Raw Material Sack Clamping and Palletizing

FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane with a sack clamping tool at a material intake area, where carrying heavy, slippery sacks by shoulder was the hardest job in the plant. Two rubber-lined jaws close on the sack with compressed air, and the operator swings it onto the right layer of the pallet with one hand.

Raw material sacks are soft, slippery, and heavy, and carrying them by shoulder from the conveyor to the pallet is the most exhausting job in the plant. Over time workers develop back pain, output drops toward the end of the shift, and sacks are more prone to tearing.

FullSharp brings in a pneumatic jib crane fitted with a sack clamping tool. Two jaws press against the sack body using compressed air, and the operator only presses a button and pushes the arm to swing the sack to the right layer on the pallet.

Equipment Installed

Pneumatic jib crane: the arm rotates around the column, with a pneumatic lifting mechanism giving smooth, jerk-free motion.
Sack clamping tool: two rubber-lined jaws press against the sack body, with clamping force adjustable to the sack's weight.
Control handle: clamp, release, and lift buttons are all on one grip, operated with a single hand.
Load-holding safety valve: if air pressure drops, the jaws still hold, so the sack does not slip while suspended.

Benefits for Your Facility

No more shoulder carrying

The sack is clamped and lifted by air power, and the worker only pushes the direction.

Even, tidy pallet stacking

Sacks land on the right layer and stack straight, so pallets do not topple.

Sacks stay intact

Soft-lined jaws mean no tearing and no spilled material.

Frequently asked questions

Is a sack clamp better than a vacuum lifter?

Both work. A clamp suits sacks whose material does not seal well for suction. Here rubber-lined jaws press the sack body with adjustable force, so it does not tear. FullSharp chooses after testing the actual sack.

What if air pressure drops while a sack is lifted?

A load-holding safety valve keeps the jaws closed, so the sack does not slip while suspended. The clamp, release and lift buttons are all on one grip for single-hand use.

Which industries use sack clamps?

Animal feed plants, chemical and fertilizer plants, food raw material warehouses, and intake or palletizing areas before storage.

FullSharp needs an actual sack sample to measure its size, weight, and surface slipperiness. Our technicians survey the conveyor and pallet positions, finalize the jib crane's reach and clamping force, then install and run trials with your operating team.
