Recondition your caked powders into a new big bag – safely and without manual handling
The SmashR Repack is an all-in-one solution for automatic big bag unloading, lump breaking and reconditioning, specially designed for caked or compacted powders. Compact, safe and ergonomic, this combined unit integrates several Palamatic Process machines to ensure a smooth, free-flowing product (“free flowing”) after treatment.
SmashR Repack composition
The SmashR Repack line is based on the seamless integration of several complementary machines within a compact, fully automated system dedicated to reconditioning caked powders in big bags.
The SmashR lump breaker system operates at the very beginning of the process to decompact and loosen the product directly inside the big bag, restoring its flowability before any unloading operation. The big bag is then handled by the unlacing station, which ensures clean and contained opening, limiting dust emissions and guaranteeing operator safety.
After unloading, the EC lump breaker or the GR granulator performs the final size reduction of the product to eliminate remaining agglomerates and obtain a homogeneous, perfectly free-flowing powder. The product is then transferred to the FlowMatic 02 filling station, which enables automatic reconditioning into a new big bag, on the original pallet, without any manual handling.
All pallet flows are managed by motorized roller conveyors, ensuring smooth and continuous circulation between each stage of the process. The entire line is centrally controlled via the integrated control cabinet, which synchronizes the equipment and ensures safe, reliable and fully automated operation.

How SmashR Repack works
1. Automatic loading of the big bag to be crushed
The operator places the full big bag on its pallet, directly onto the motorised roller conveyor. This conveyor automatically feeds the SmashR Repack, a system for massaging and decompacting big bags, which breaks up agglomerates and restores the product to a "fluid" state before unpacking.
2. Transfer to the big bag emptying station
Once the product has been loosened, the big bag is automatically positioned under the big bag handling straps attachment point. The operator uses the electric hoist to place the big bag on the Palamatic Process big bag emptying station (unlashing box type).
3. Final draining and destemming
The discharge station is equipped with an EC lump breaker or a GR granulator, ensuring final crumbling of the product to eliminate any residual clumping and obtain a homogeneous, free-flowing powder.
4. Automatic filling of the new big bag
The original pallet is automatically conveyed to the FlowMatic 02 filling station. The operator installs an empty big bag on the station to receive the loose product. Filling is carried out without manual handling, ensuring a safe, confined and ergonomic operation.
5. Removal of the reconditioned big bag
Once filling is complete, the reconditioned big bag is automatically removed via the motorised roller conveyor for collection by forklift truck.

Features
Technical specification
The SmashR Repack line embodies advanced technological synergy, where each component is orchestrated to transform a solid product into a fluid, ready-to-use material. Compact and fully automated, this equipment optimises the reconditioning of big bags while ensuring total control of the production environment.
| Big Bag Capacity | 500 to 2,000 kg |
|---|---|
| Overall height of machine | 7,000 to 9,000 mm (depending on big bag dimensions) |
| Structure | Painted steel or 304/316L stainless steel |
| Built-in appliances | SmashR, EC Crumbler or GR Granulator, Emptying Station, FlowMatic 02 |
| Confinement | Sealing via sleeve, expanding seal and containment by overall casing of the station |
| Order | Electrical cabinet with integrated PLC |
| Transportation | Motorisation controlled by the emptying/filling sequence |
Its design is based on high-performance features:
-
Versatility and Robustness: Capable of handling loads ranging from 500 to 2,000 kg, the structure (available in painted steel or 304/316L stainless steel) adapts to the most demanding industrial environments with an optimised overall height.
-
Technological Integration: The line combines mechanical massage (SmashR), precision refining (EC Crumbler / GR Granulator) and high-precision dosing (FlowMatic 02).
-
Total Containment: Sealing is ensured by expanding seals and full enclosure, eliminating any risk of cross-contamination or dust emissions.
-
Operational Intelligence: A dedicated PLC controls the entire flow, from conveyor motorisation to the final filling sequence.
Procedure:
1. Input and decompression:
-
Place the full big bag on the motorised conveyor.
-
Action: The SmashR system automatically crushes and breaks up blocks to improve product flow.
2. Transfer and emptying:
-
Hook the handles onto the electric hoist as soon as the bag comes out of the SmashR.
-
Place the bag on the emptying station (release box).
-
Action: The EC lump breaker / GR granulator performs final refining to produce a 100% homogeneous powder.
3. Filling (Flowmatic 02):
-
Place an empty big bag on the filling station (the original pallet arrives automatically).
-
Action: Automatic and confined filling of the new bag.
4. Evacuation:
- Retrieve the reconditioned big bag at the end of the conveyor using a forklift truck.
