Process Description
Salt flows freely by gravity from the 200 cubic foot supply hopper bin into the top of the net weigh bagging machine. When a fill cycle is started, salt is automatically metered and pre-weighed into an internal weigh hopper within the bagging machine.

When an operator or automatic bag placing machine provides a signal to the machine, the pre-weighed amount of salt discharges into the poly bag. Once full, the bag clamp releases the bag onto a bag closing conveyor, where the operator guides it through a band heat sealer.

After sealing, the bag is conveyed to a manual palletizing station. Another operator then picks up the bag and places it on pallet that has a pre-applied cardboard box to contain any salt that might spill from the bags.

Once a pallet is full, an operator with a forklift or floor jack takes it to a pallet wrapper machine.
