Agriculture
Cortiva supplies bag palletizing for paper, PP woven, PE and valve bags, together with depalletizing, bag opening and emptying, stretch wrapping and stretch hood systems for agricultural products. Different bag formats run on the same system by recipe.
In agriculture the end of the line is about the bag: feed, fertiliser, seed and grain are packed in the 25–50 kg range and, in most plants, still stacked by hand. That work is heavy and seasonal at the same time.
Harvest and fertilising periods push capacity demand to a peak within weeks, and the environment is dusty. Bag palletizing systems run paper, PP woven, PE and valve bag formats on the same line by recipe.
The industry's challenge, Cortiva's answer
Bags in the 25–50 kg range are stacked by hand; the work is heavy and ergonomically unsustainable.
Bag palletizing systems are designed for bags in the 5–50 kg range, removing manual stacking.
Capacity demand peaks within weeks during harvest and fertilising periods.
The end of line is sized for the seasonal peak, reducing dependence on added shifts during busy periods.
The environment is dusty, and bag surface and floor conditions are hard on equipment.
Dusty ambient conditions are assessed project by project in equipment and protection selection.
Paper, PP woven, PE and valve bags can all be in use at the same site.
Paper, PP woven, PE and valve bag formats run on the same system by recipe.

Which line do these machines come together on in this industry?
Example Configuration These are typical system architectures, not records of delivered projects. See Case Studies for completed installations.
-
Bag Palletizing Line
An example line for paper, PP woven, PE and valve bags: each bag is flattened before palletizing, placed to pattern by a vacuum gripper and the pallet is stretch wrapped. This page describes a typical configuration, not a record of a delivered project.
- Palletizing
- Pallet Packaging
-
Bag Depalletizing & Emptying Line
An example feeding line for raw material bags: a robot lifts each bag off the pallet, a self-sharpening blade opens it, the material is fully discharged and empty pallets stack at a separate station. This page describes a typical configuration, not a record of a delivered project.
