bag placer for open top bagging systems

A bag placer for open top bagging systems automatically picks up an empty bag, opens it, and positions it onto the filling spout of an open mouth bagging machine. Once the bag is securely clamped, product is discharged into the bag, which is then released onto a closing conveyor for sewing, sealing, or taping.

These systems eliminate the need for manual bag placement, improving production efficiency, accuracy, and safety. They integrate seamlessly with open mouth bagging machines, conveyors, and palletizing equipment to create a fully automated bagging line.

code printer for lot batch numbers and codes on bags

Lot code, batch number, and date printed on bottom part of bag after passing by print head on bag closing conveyor

This lot code printer was put to the test in an animal feed and minerals packaging line. Multi-wall open mouth paper bags, filled with animal feed are sewn shut.  Then, they pass in front of the lot code printer on a conveyor before robotic palletizing. As each bag passes the lot code printer, a lot code and date are printed on the bottom part of the bag.  Each of these unique codes helps to identify the date when the batch of product was produced and packaged.
