In the animal feed industry, feed bagging machines are essential for efficient production, high product quality, and safe handling. Different technologies adapt to product types, volumes, and packaging formats, optimizing productivity and minimizing losses.
Feed Bagging Technologies
- Open-mouth bagging machines are the most versatile and widely used. They handle prefabricated bags from 5 to 50 kg made of paper, PE, or laminated PP, including flat, pinch-bottom, or gusseted bags, with or without handles. With production up to 1,800 bags per hour, they offer high precision using MSX weighing controllers, a durable design, and easy maintenance, making them suitable for grains, seeds, flour, rice, sugar, and additives.
- Valve bagging machines are designed for prefabricated valve bags and are ideal for fine powders or products with complicated flow. They can produce up to 500 bags per hour per nozzle and handle various powders, cereals, and flours. These machines provide accurate weighing, robust construction, interchangeable nozzles, and safe maintenance.
- FFS (Form-Fill-Seal) machines form, fill, and seal bags in a fully automated process using PE or composite films, producing up to 2,600 bags per hour. They are suitable for granules, coarse powders, cereals, and fragile products. FFS machines offer flexible sealing options and a compact design, ideal for plants with limited space.
- Big Bag filling stations (FIBC) handle bulk products ranging from 500 to 2,000 kg per bag, producing up to 120 Big Bags per hour. They are suitable for fertilizers, grains, seeds, pellets, sugar, and salt, and can adapt to different FIBC types with one to four handles, with spouts or open tops. These machines combine high filling capacity with robustness and flexibility for industrial environments.
Choosing the Right Machine
The best choice depends on product type, production volume, bag format, plant space, and automation needs. Open-mouth machines offer versatility and speed, valve machines prioritize precision and durability, FFS systems excel in high-speed automation, and Big Bag stations manage large volumes efficiently.
Requirements for Efficient Bagging
For safe and effective bagging, feed must meet certain requirements. Bag weight and density influence filling speed and machine selection. Moisture content should be controlled to prevent caking or jams, while particle size affects filling accuracy. Compatibility with bag materials is essential to prevent breakage, and product stability ensures uniform filling and avoids deformation.
At PAYPER, we help choose the most suitable feed bagging machine for any plant, ensuring efficiency, safety, and high productivity.
