A co-op in Iowa replaced their existing bagging machine with a high-speed net-weigher used to fill 50Lb craft paper bags with cracked corn and pelleted feeds.
High-speed bagging machine added to existing packaging system
This cooperative grinds approximately 50,000+ bushels of corn per day at all of their feed mills. They primarily supply swine feed, but also produce cattle feed and dairy feed.
The video below shows a bag palletizing robot stacking 50 lb. paper valve bags onto a pallet located on the floor per the programmed bag placement design. This robot was added to an existing bag filling system to reduce labor costs and increase automation.
The Grain and Corn Bagging System combines product storage, filling, and bag closing into one system. Efficiently fill and close 30-50 lb. paper and poly-woven open mouth style bags.
The system has been engineered for bagging deer corn (whole corn), feed, seed, and other grains. The manual, or mechanical, bagging option includes automatic weighing. The system is upgradeable to a higher packaging speed with the addition of a high-speed bag sewing system to quickly close the bags. Additional options are available including hand held bag sewing machines, bag flattening conveyors, and bag stacking systems.
The automatic bag placer machine picks up, hangs, and clamps an empty open mouth bag onto a bagger before product is discharged into a bag. Up to 20 bags per minute are possible and it works with both new / existing net weigh and gross weigh bagging scales. With this type of automation, one full-time operator can be removed from the bagging system.
The bagging system shown in the video below allows one operator to use 3 valve bag filling machines, or air pressure packers, to fill 50 lb. bags of fertilizer at a rate of 15-18 bags per minute.
Bag of pigment powder tipping onto discharge conveyor after filling
This semi-automatic system fills batch inclusion bags with blended pigment powders used for road markings. After filling, the bags are conveyed to a palletizing station.
Process Description
Blended pigment powder used for road marking is conveyed to a bucket elevator that discharges it into a 25 cubic foot hopper. Then, the powder flows by gravity into the air chamber of the valve bag air packer.
This machine automatically reforms or prepares the top of flat, pillow type open mouth bags and guides them into the infeed of a high-speed bag closer or sewing machine.
Bag moves through a bag top reformer before sewing
This type of automation can eliminate the need for an operator to manually guide a filled bag into a bag closing system. It can handle production rates up to 15 bags per minute and typically comes with an automatic bag placer.
Automatic pallet dispenser, slip sheet dispenser, and robot stack zone conveyor (System 1)
When speed and bagging rate is important, automating the dispensing of pallets and slip sheets helps to reduce labor requirements for feeding shipping pallets into an automated palletizing system with a robot.
Dry pet food bagging systems and machines automatically weigh and fill 1-50 lb. bags, pouches, containers, and multi-wall open mouth bags with different types of dry pet food. This includes dog food, cat food, rabbit food, hamster food, food for mice, and more.
Fill small bags, pouches, and containers that weigh 1 – 10 pounds or larger open mouth paper or poly bags that weigh 10 – 50 pounds, or bulk bags that weigh up to 4,400 pounds. All packaging machines have an accuracy of +/- 0.5-1% of target weight and can operate at different bagging speeds.
Automatic bagging systems for pouches, open mouth bags, and valve bags
Automatic bagging systems are typically used to fill and seal bags and pouches containing 1-110 lbs. of product. The systems can be categorized by the types of bags or pouches being filled.
Use an automated bagging system to fill boxes and baler bags with small pre-packaged, form fill and seal (FFS) bags or pouches containing products such as grains, sugar, flour, salt, powders, and more. This type of automation can enhance your end of line packaging and provide a more convenient way to ship and handle smaller bags together as a stackable unit.
Bagging system, bag sewing system, and bag handling conveyors
This 40kg bagging system fills open mouth plastic bags with different types of livestock feed for poultry, pigs, dairy cows, sheep, and horses. This semi-automated system also includes a high-speed bagger, bag handling conveyors, and a palletizing robot with automatic pallet dispenser and pallet stretch wrapper.
