Inside 6–8 Tons/Hour Throughput: Automated Bundle Opening & Adaptive Magnetic Feeding
CHITUO Engineering Team · 2026-11-02
Key Engineering Takeaway
Chituo's Automated Straight-Rebar Smart Line combines vision-guided bundle opening, chain combing, and adaptive magnetic feeding (15 bars/cycle for Φ12mm, 2 bars/cycle for Φ32mm) to process a ~2-ton bundle in 15–20 minutes, delivering 6–8 tons/hour throughput.
1. Load-Balanced Magnetic Picking Across Diameters
Standard straight ribbed rebar bundles weigh approximately 2 tons. Chituo maintains high hourly tonnage across all 12 sizes (Φ10mm – Φ50mm) by matching bar count per cycle to bar weight:
- Small & Medium Bars (e.g., Φ12mm): 10.66 kg per 12m bar; lifts and shears 15 bars per cycle (~160 kg);
- Heavy Main Bars (e.g., Φ32mm): 75.72 kg per 12m bar; lifts and shears 2 bars per cycle (~151.4 kg).
Because per-cycle mass stays balanced, the line processes one ~2-ton bundle in 15–20 minutes, achieving 6–8 tons/hour throughput.
