BTS Adjustable Bale Kicker
bk100-2717 Bale Kicker for transitioning vertical bales to horizontal
Custom built side gripper for boxes or bales
We manufacture and build a variety of machines here at BTS. When you are in the automation business, it is important that you are able to modify equipment to improve the process. In this case we designed and built a Bale Kicker to transfer the rice hulls from vertical to horizontal.
All of this is part of a palletizer we are installing for a local company that makes fifty pound bales of rice hulls for wine making, absorption and many other things

Here we have attached the Bale Kicker to a 32 inch wide slider bed conveyor. Typically the bale has just arrived from the sealer.
An air cylinder tips the bale over onto the slide belt conveyor where it is picked by a palletizing robot and placed on a pallet.
In step 3 the kicker retracts, ready for the next bale to come from the sealer..
