Agibi Progetti: Automatic Container Changer

ROTOBOX: a new design for more efficient production

ROTOBOX is a compact and high-performance solution designed to automate container changes. A software system manages rotations, crate switching, and the load cell, ensuring the formation of homogeneous batches. This robust system is ideal for those seeking a perfect balance between efficiency, precision, and flexibility. The machine is equipped with a PLC and a touch-screen panel.
• Efficiency and automation: ROTOBOX fully automates the process of batch formation and container changes, significantly reducing processing time and costs.
• Operational flexibility: with the ability to configure between 4 and 12 loading positions, this system easily adapts to various production needs.
• Precision and monitoring: a load cell with pneumatic lifting and a feeding hopper with a pneumatically controlled partition ensure the formation of high-quality batches. The intranet data logger allows storage and analysis of production data, providing valuable insights for further process optimization.
• Technical specifications: with a diameter of 1300 mm and a capacity of 200 kg, ROTOBOX is ideal for productions requiring robustness and reliability, combining innovation and design for uncompromising productivity.

ROTO‐MINI: intelligent automation for a continuous workflow

ROTO‐MINI is a compact and highly innovative machine designed to revolutionize the production process through full automation of container changes, which are carried out mechanically via cams.
• Fast and continuous change: a motorized rotation system, combined with a feeding hopper equipped with a pneumatically controlled partition, allows automatic crate changes, eliminating machine downtime.
• Homogeneous and traceable batch formation: the entire production cycle is precisely managed thanks to the integrated mini-PLC. Whether it’s a time-based, piece-count-based, or external-command-based change, the machine ensures batch uniformity and process traceability.
• Flexibility and customization: the mini-PLC allows programming of the machine according to different product types. Additionally, optional kits (larger diameter rotary tables, cams for variable loading stations, trapezoidal steel crates of various capacities) make it an extremely versatile and customizable solution.
• Dimensions and technical specifications: designed with a standard rotary table of 1000 mm (extendable to 1300 mm) and capable of accommodating six crates, it is ideal for productions requiring rapid changes and precision in component handling.

Key differences and strategic choices

While both solutions share the goal of optimizing production, ROTOBOX and ROTO‐MINI have significant differences that make them suitable for different production environments:

• technology and customization:
- ROTOBOX utilizes a dedicated PLC and software to ensure flexibility and precision, positioning itself as a "plug-and-play" solution for process automation.
- ROTO‐MINI offers a higher level of customization thanks to the ability to integrate various additional kits, allowing the system to be tailored to specific loading and volume needs.

• Size and capacity:
- with an extendable diameter of up to 1500 mm and a capacity of 200 kg, ROTOBOX is ideal for productions requiring greater capacity.
- ROTO‐MINI, with its standard 1000 mm rotary table (expandable) and optimized configuration for fast changes, is targeted at production facilities aiming to maximize machine uptime and operational flexibility.

Both solutions showcase Agibi Progetti’s commitment to innovation, enhancing productivity and quality while adapting to modern market challenges.
