This system precisely unloads free-flowing seeds, feed, corn, and more from a Buckhorn CenterFlow seed pro box into open mouth bags using an open mouth bag filler. The system can also be used to bag other free-flowing agricultural products like bird seed, wheat seed, deer corn, animal feed, fertilizer, pellets, and more.

View of Bagging Machine and High-Speed Bag Closer in an Automated Packaging System
Rice producers face several challenges when it comes to bagging and packaging their product. Manual bagging processes can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors. To overcome these challenges, a USA-based rice producer sought an automated packaging system that could increase production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve bagging accuracy. In this case study, we’ll examine how the company successfully implemented the system, resulting in significant time and cost savings.

This simple system is used to safely unload bulk feed tote bags (also called FIBC, bulk bags, Super Sacks®, or jumbo sacks) containing dry, free-flowing products by gravity into an open mouth bagging machine and scale. The bagging machine would then weigh out a desired amount of feed into each open mouth bag, with 40lb. and 50lb. bags being the most popular. This system is custom engineered for repackaging and down packing businesses.

This unitizing system automatically applies a water-based glue, or palletizing adhesive, to plastic bags, paper bags, or corrugated boxes on a conveyor before they are palletized. This non-hazardous glue helps to secure the palletized bags in place to prevent slipping and sliding in the pallet stack.

Stainless steel intermediate bulk containers and IBC blending systems are a special type of custom blending equipment that are widely used in various industries for their durability and functionality in bulk powder processing. These containers are designed to store and transport large volumes of powders, liquids, and granules in a safe and secure manner.
These types of powder blending systems are constructed using high-quality finished stainless steel, making them strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-clean. They are available in various sizes and shapes and can be custom designed to fit specific metal powder handling requirements. Stainless steel IBC containers and systems are a popular choice for industries that require powder mixing solutions for the bulk processing of powders, such as powder metallurgy, chemical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, toll blending, and food industries.

Drawing of a high-speed big bag filling system. Measurements are in millimeters.
In this hi-speed big bag filling system, raw sugar is unloaded from big bags, or bulk tote bags, conveyed to a vibratory screen where it is separated into 3 fractions and one waste fraction, and then re-packaged into big bags.

Tinsley Equipment Company recently performed a test run for a new feed producer that was interested in bagging horse pellets into 25 lb bags.
These type of supplement horse pellets were made of coastal hay and measured about ¼-1/2” in diameter and about 1 inch long. The producer farms different types of coastal hay and Bermuda grasses and wanted to learn more about the bagging and packaging process.
Horse pellets (or hay pellets) used for feed supplement
To run the test, Tinsley Equipment Company set up a 25 cubic foot bagger supply hopper, a digital gross weigh bagging machine with a pneumatic bag clamp, a temporary box platform under the scale to support the filled bag, and then a table for manual bag top folder over and handheld sewing. Closed bags were manually transported and stacked on pallets resting on a truck trailer. Finished pallets were manually wrapped and secured to the trailer before transporting them to a feed store for final sale.

Lot / batch code and date printed on bottom part of bag after passing print head
This inkjet 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 code printer on a conveyor before robotic palletizing. As each bag passes the code printer, a lot code and date are printed on the bottom part of the bag. Each of these unique codes helps to identify when the batch of product was produced and packaged.

An Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) System is used to prepare a homogeneous dry blend of base polymers and additives before the extrusion phase in a plastic compounding process. Plastic compounding and toll processing companies first use an IBC system to create a lab formulation or test to confirm final product characteristics before creating a masterbatch. Once a final product has been confirmed, the same IBC system is used to create a larger batch or production run.
IBC is easily transported by forklift to other discharge stations
This type of set up using an Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) System is also known as a decoupled system because ingredients can be moved, mixed, and blended independently inside the IBCs.
