barley bagging equipmentChoose from different types of barley bagging equipment that automatically weighs and fills 50 pound – 4,000 pound bags with barley.  Automatically fill bags constructed of poly-woven, multi-walled paper, burlap, and lined / unlined poly-woven bulk bags.  Fill bags with raw barley, hulled barley, hulless barley, pearl barley, barley grits and flakes, malted barley, feed barley, and other dry malted grains.

high speed barley bagging equipmentSince dry barley is a free-flowing product, we recommend using a gravity flow net weigh filling machine to fill standard 50 pound bags.  This type of machine automatically fills a supply hopper as a bag is being filled below.  This results in a faster fill rate of up to 24 bags per minute. For an entry-level filling machine, we recommend a digital gross weigh gravity filler that has a fill rate of 1-8 bags per minute.

Supply hoppers are also available for barley bagging equipment in a wide range of sizes, including frames that support Buckhorn Pro Boxes. All packaging machines have an accuracy of +/- 0.5-1% of target weight and can operate at different bagging speeds.

The high-speed bag palletizer shown in the video below stacks fifty 50 lb. bags of sugar on shipping pallets.

High-Speed Robotic Palletizer Stacks 50 lb. Bags Filled with Sugar

50 lb. open mouth paper bags are filled in a packaging area.  From there, they are transported through a protected opening in a wall, to a decline bag transfer conveyor, and then to a powered 90 degree turning conveyor under a bag flattener that removes some of the air from each bag to make them more uniform for stacking.

plastic pellets bagging system and equipment pellets granules beadsThis automatic plastic pellets bagging system fills 50 lb. poly bags at a continuous rate of 12-14 bags per minute with pellets that are used in various extrusion processes.

Both the bag placer and bag top reformer can operate in automatic or manual modes, allowing the system to continue to operate, even during maintenance or repairs of this equipment.  Other automated systems do not allow for this type of feature and the entire packaging line must be shut down.

Learn more about industrial dust suppression systems and dust control methods for use during the processing and handling of dry bulk solids at indoor facilities or outdoor plants.

dust suppression for truck loading

Dust suppression and curtain systems used during loading of trucks with dry powder to be transported to a landfill for disposal

What is industrial dust suppression and what are some dust suppression methods?

Dust suppression systems are used to prevent, control, and greatly reduce the amount of fugitive dust particles (usually smaller than 10 microns) released during the processing and handling of dry bulk solids.  This is generally done by wetting or spraying the ultra-fine dust particles with water, or by mixing water with a dust control chemical like magnesium chloride.  The spray clings to the dust particles and causes them to drop or fall out of the air.

This is different from dust collection methods that use vacuums, baghouses, fabric filters, wet scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, water curtains, and dust collectors.

Commercial producers seasoning tortilla chips and potato chips can benefit greatly from the use of electrostatics to evenly apply dry spices, powders, seasonings, and oils. This type of seasoning system provides up to 98% coating efficiency of all chip products, while using 10-45% less dry powder seasonings. It also dramatically reduces the amount of airborne dust and seasoning, which results in a much cleaner working area, cleaner seasoning drum, and less line contamination.

coffee bag sealers used for packaging roasted coffeeLearn more about coffee bag sealers that vacuum seal and flush bags and pouches with nitrogen or CO2.

Why is it important to vacuum seal coffee bags and flush them with nitrogen?

Vacuum sealing and flushing a bag with a gas like nitrogen removes most of the oxygen, making it difficult for aerobic bacteria to grow.  This extends the shelf life and freshness of whole coffee beans and ground coffee. Many large grocery stores, retail coffee shops, or online retailers like Amazon, require that coffee producers use VGF/MAP for their packaging for resale.  (VGF stand for Vacuum Gas Flush and MAP stands for Modified Atmosphere Packaging.)

cashews with dill pickle seasoning

Coating and seasoning cashews with a dill pickle seasoning

This system is used for seasoning and coating nuts using electrostatics.  The customer was able to produce seasoned nut and seed food products in one day instead of seven. It also greatly reduced production costs associated with the previous system, providing a quick ROI.  It can be retrofitted to existing seasoning equipment and systems.

On-site testing is available to prove actual production results.  Please contact us for more information.

Apply many different types of seasonings such as ranch, bacon ranch, salt and pepper, parmesan and pepper, buffalo flavored, BBQ, cinnamon, churro flavored, salt and vinegar, sweet and salty, dill pickle, and wasabi.  These types of custom seasonings can be applied to nuts, seeds, popcorn, cheese, chips, and other snack food products.

Spreading Peanuts on Snack Food Conveyor using Vibratory Feeder

A volumetric vibratory feeder installed over a snack food production line is used to evenly spread peanuts across the width of the conveyor. The peanut pieces are loaded into the feeder supply hopper. The electromagnetic driven vibratory feeder will draw the peanuts out of the hopper at a controlled rate and spread them evenly across the width of the pan. Feed rate is easy adjusted by the controller supplied with the drive with a 1000:1 turndown ratio controlled by the RVS amplitude sensor and feedback loop controller built into the vibratory drive.
