Flexible Bag Handling & Bag Stacking Efficiency
The Chantland MHS S-Series Swivel Stacker Conveyor is engineered to streamline bag stacking operations with precision, durability, and operator-friendly controls. This incline-to-boom conveyor belt system elevates filled bags and discharges them onto a boom conveyor that swivels side-to-side and adjusts in height. The design allows operators to manually stack bags onto pallets safely, efficiently, and with reduced labor strain.
Key Design Features
Built with industrial-grade components and robust engineering, the S-Series Swivel Stacker Conveyor is designed for long-lasting performance in demanding bag handling environments:
- Formed Steel Frame Construction – Heavy-duty slider bed conveyor, 21 ft. overall length.
- Rough Top Belts – 16" wide incline belt and 20" wide boom belt, both 150# black rough top with stainless steel mechanical lacing, providing superior grip on paper bags, jute bags, and poly bags.
- Powerful Drive Package – 5 HP, 208/230/460V, 60 Hz, 3 Ph. motor powering a self-contained hydraulic system.
- Hydraulic Boom Control – Cylinder and valve allow discharge heights from 3’-1” to 7’-4”.
- Swivel Boom Functionality – Boom pivots up to 30° from the centerline to serve multiple pallets without repositioning.
- Variable Speed Control – Hydraulic motors are directly coupled to pulleys with user-friendly flow control valves.
- Operator Controls at Point of Use – Boom height adjustment located at the discharge end for ease of use.
- Durable Pulley System – Rubber-covered drive pulleys for maximum traction and belt life.
- Adjustable Discharge Heights – Ensures ergonomic stacking for operators handling bags up to 60 lbs.
Available Options for Custom Applications
To meet the needs of unique bagging operations, Chantland MHS offers customizable configurations for the S-Series:
- Alternative incline lengths for specialized layouts
- Roller bed frame designs for heavier or severe-duty applications
- Bag flattener conveyor integration (Model 4215)
- NEMA 12 electrical controls or washdown/corrosive/explosion-proof packages
- Stainless steel construction for food or chemical industries
- Special finish coatings (epoxy, powder coat) for harsh environments
- Free-standing swivel boom configurations for added mobility
How the S-Series Works
- Loading – Filled bags are placed onto the incline conveyor.
- Elevation – Rough top belts carry the bags upward with secure traction.
- Swivel Discharge – Bags transfer to the boom conveyor, which pivots side-to-side.
- Height Adjustment – The boom raises or lowers hydraulically to the operator's height for efficient palletizing.
- Stacking – Operators can easily and safely stack bags onto one or multiple pallets without moving equipment.
Applications
The S-Series Swivel Stacker Conveyor is ideal for industries requiring safe and efficient manual bag stacking:
- Agriculture – Seed, grain, feed, fertilizer
- Food Processing – Sugar, flour, powdered ingredients
- Chemicals & Minerals – Fertilizers, resins, cement, lime, industrial powders
This conveyor is recommended for bags up to 60 lbs., ensuring smooth and controlled handling in diverse production environments.
Benefits of the S-Series Swivel Stacker Conveyor
- Increased Productivity – Pivoting boom allows stacking of multiple pallets without repositioning.
- Reduced Labor Strain – Adjustable discharge height supports ergonomic handling.
