Bag Conveyors

Introduction to Our Bagging Conveyors

Bagging conveyors are specialized conveyor belt systems designed to transport filled bags. They typically are used in packaging processes, allowing bags to be moved, turned, flattened, and positioned correctly for further operations such as sealing, labeling, and palletizing — all within an automated production line. Because they facilitate the movement of bags from a filling station or a bag sewing or bag closing conveyor to cleaning, flattening, and palletizing areas, bag conveyors are essential components in industrial settings. Different types of bag conveyors serve specific functions within a bagging system. PFA offers a wide range of conveyors with various capabilities to make your  bag processing more efficient. Additionally, PFA’s bag conveyors integrate seamlessly within your existing automated and manual bag handling systems.

Benefits of Bagging Conveyors in Automated Systems

Bagging conveyors benefit myriad industries in multiple ways:

  • Bag handling conveyors are critical to warehouse automation and efficiency because they streamline the packaging process, ensuring consistent and rapid handling of bulk bag goods. By automating the movement of items to and from packaging machines, they minimize manual labor and reduce bottlenecks, enabling higher throughput.
  • Implementing bag handling conveyors can lead to significant efficiency gains, including faster processing times and increased order accuracy. An automated conveyor system also facilitates continuous operation, allowing warehouses to meet higher demand without sacrificing productivity.
  • In supply chain optimization, bagging conveyors enhance workflow by seamlessly integrating with other automated systems, such as sorting and palletizing. This improves inventory management, reduces lead times, and ensures timely delivery of products, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction.
  • Additionally, bag handling conveyors improve workplace safety by minimizing repetitive manual tasks and heavy lifting, which reduces the risk of injuries. They also create a more organized workspace, lowering hazards associated with cluttered areas and manual handling.

Key Considerations for Selecting the Right Bagging Conveyor

When selecting bagging equipment, several key factors should be considered to ensure the conveyor meets operational needs effectively:

  • Material Type and Weight: Consider the type, size, and weight of the materials being bagged. The bag conveyor must handle these requirements without compromising performance or durability.
  • Speed and Throughput: Evaluate the desired processing speed and volume to ensure the conveyor matches the production demands, avoiding bottlenecks with bulk bags work orders.
  • Conveyor Design: Choose a design suited to the application, such as inclined, flat, or flexible conveyors. Features like adjustable height or mobile frames offer additional versatility.
  • Durability and Material: The conveyor’s construction material should withstand environmental conditions (e.g., moisture, dust, or heat) and the demands of continuous operation. Determine whether a belt conveyor or roller conveyor is best suited for the task.
  • Integration and Automation: Ensure compatibility with existing systems — such as bag fillers, and weighing, bag sewing, sealing, or labeling equipment — to streamline operations.
  • Safety Features: Look for safety enhancements like emergency stop mechanisms, guardrails, and ergonomic designs to protect workers.
  • Maintenance Requirements: Consider ease of maintenance and availability of replacement parts for the bag conveyor to minimize downtime and operational costs.

Wire Mesh Packer Conveyors

For use when automatically discharging valve bags and need to transfer bags to other conveyors or to manual palletizing station. They are engineered for customers’ specific size requirements. They can come with an operator’s station having a seat and empty bag holders, as well as a right-angle transfer device. Wire mesh is heavy duty with 6” hardened sprockets and direct shaft mounted gearmotor.

Robotic palletizer

Bag Cleaning Conveyors

These are for cleaning tops and bottoms of filled bags. They use a combination of air blast and powered brushes.

Bag Flatteners 

A bag flattener uses two conveyors to squeeze the bag and help release the air. It can be horizontal or elevated to feed additional equipment.

Square Roller Conveyor

A square roller conveyor will condition the bag and spread materials without compression. It can be horizontal or elevated to feed additional equipment.

Accumulation and Pacing Conveyor

Depending on product, the accumulation section can be gravity roller or powered roller feeding rough top rubber belt powered pacing conveyor. Used for feeding palletizing systems, printer systems and even manual palletizing stations.

Powered Curve Conveyors

Powered Curve Conveyors come in 45 degrees and 90 degrees. They are capable of receiving bags length-wise and width-wise to feed other conveyors.

Bag Turning Conveyor

For turning bags from width direction to length. Can be used on paper valves, paper open mouth bags, and plastic bags. The belt conveyor surface is smooth for easy turning of bags.
