Open mouth bagging machines weigh and fill different types and sizes of bags and containers with bulk solids and products that are powders, flakes, granules, and irregular shaped pieces. The filled bags and containers usually usually weigh 20 lb. - 110 lbs. There are many different types of open mouth bagging machines including manual, semi-automatic, and automatic versions with filling speeds up to 24 bags per minute (50 lb. bagging machines being the most popular). Once the bags have been filled, they are usually moved through a bag sewing or sealer machine. Then, they are conveyed to a station, where the bags are palletized, stacked, and wrapped for shipping, storage, and sale.

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.
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.
This system is used for bagging salt into 40 Lb. poly bags. It includes a hopper, net weigh bagging machine, band sealer, and manual bag stacking station with pallet wrapper machine.
