Automated Bagging, Packaging & Robotic Palletizing Solutions
Project Reference: Fertilizer Packaging & Palletizing System – Bintulu, Sarawak
DNC Automation provides complete bagging, packaging and robotic palletizing solutions for industrial production facilities. Our scope covers the integration of mechanical handling, automation controls, robotics and safety systems into one coordinated production line, helping customers improve productivity, consistency and operational efficiency while reducing manual handling.
Fertilizer Bagging & Robotic Palletizing – Bintulu, Sarawak
Completed on 5 October 2026, this DNC project was engineered for the automated handling of granular fertilizer in both 25 kg and 50 kg bags. The system integrates bagging, bag closing, bag conditioning, conveying and robotic palletizing into a single coordinated line.
| Product | Granular fertilizer |
| Bag Sizes | 25 kg and 50 kg selectable |
| Robot | ABB IRB 660 palletizing robot |
| Controls | Xinje PLC & HMI |
| Recipe Management | Multiple recipes for bag size, product and palletizing patterns |
| Gripper | Single-bag gripper |
| Palletizing Capacity | Up to approximately 700 bags/hour* |
*Capacity depends on bag size, pallet pattern and actual production conditions.
Integrated System Scope
- Automatic weighing and bagging for 25 kg and 50 kg fertilizer bags
- Automatic bag sewing / closing
- Bag flattening and conditioning
- Conveyor handling and synchronization
- ABB IRB 660 robotic palletizing
- Single-bag robotic gripper
- Xinje PLC and HMI control system
- 25 kg / 50 kg production mode selection
- Multiple recipe management for different products and palletizing patterns
- Safety interlocking, programming, system integration and commissioning
Flexible Recipe Control
The system is controlled by a Xinje PLC and HMI, enabling operators to select either 25 kg or 50 kg operating mode directly from the HMI. Multiple recipes can be stored for different products, bag sizes and palletizing patterns, allowing fast production changeovers with minimal operator adjustment.
ABB IRB 660 Robotic Palletizing
The palletizing station is equipped with an ABB IRB 660 industrial robot, engineered for high-performance palletizing applications. Using a single-bag gripper, the robot automatically picks filled bags from the conveyor and stacks them according to the selected pallet pattern. The system is designed for a palletizing rate of up to approximately 700 bags per hour, subject to bag size, pallet pattern and operating conditions.
