Application of fully automatic bagging machines in the feed industry

Fully automatic bagging machines, through full-process automation, high-precision metering, and intelligent control, significantly improve packaging efficiency and quality in the feed industry, reducing labor costs and material waste.  Fully automatic bagging machines have become core equipment for modern feed enterprises to achieve cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and intelligent transformation.

I. Application Status and Core Advantages in the Feed Industry

Fully Automated Packaging Capability

– Automatic Bag Feeding: Precisely picks bags from the bag storage using vacuum suction cups or robotic arms, completing the bag picking, bagging, and bag clamping actions.  It is compatible with various bag types, including PP bags, PE bags, and laminated woven bags, processing 500-750 bags or 800-1000 bags per hour.

– Precise Metering and Filling: Uses high-precision weighing sensors (accuracy ≤ ±0.2%) and dynamic correction algorithms to support quantitative packaging of granular, powder, and mixed materials, ensuring consistent weight for each bag of feed.

– Intelligent Sealing and Detection: Integrates various sealing methods such as heat sealing and sewing, and is equipped with an automatic labeling machine, top cover paper device, inkjet printer, and automatic detection devices (such as photoelectric sensors, checkweighers, and metal detectors), providing full-process automatic detection and alarm functions.

– Automatic Conveying and Palletizing: The conveyor belt transports the sealed bags to the palletizing area, supporting linkage with palletizing machines (high-level palletizers/column palletizing machines/robot palletizing machines) to achieve automatic palletizing, adapting to various pallet types.

Significant Economic Benefits

– Reduced Labor Costs: A single machine can replace 3-5 packaging workers. A case study from a pig feed company shows that the packaging team was reduced from 18 people in 3 shifts to 2 people in 1 shift, saving labor costs.

– Significant Efficiency Improvement: After introducing the automatic bagging machine, a company saw a significant increase in packaging efficiency, with daily loading volume increasing from 50 trucks to 150 trucks, and order delivery time shortened from 48 hours to 12 hours.

– Improved Quality Stability: After 16 months of operation, complaints about feed caking decreased from 3-5 per month to 0, customer satisfaction increased by 65%, and product repurchase rate increased from 80% to 95%. 

II. Technical Characteristics Specific to the Feed Industry

– High-precision weighing system

Dynamic weighing error is typically between ±0.2% and ±0.5%, with functions such as weight accumulation display, automatic tare, automatic zeroing, and automatic drop correction.

– Dustproof and dust removal design

Considering the working environment characteristics of the feed industry, the equipment adopts a sealed design, combined with an efficient dust removal device, effectively reducing the generation and spread of dust and improving the working environment.

– Intelligent control system

Equipped with a PLC programmable controller for centralized management, supporting functions such as parameter setting, fault alarm, data statistics, and remote monitoring. It provides bag placement alarms for issues such as incorrect bag placement/bagging/bag clamping during the entire production process, and detects needle and thread breaks to ensure subsequent packaging quality.

III. Typical Application Scenarios in the Feed Industry

– Granular feed packaging

Suitable for packaging granular materials such as pig feed, poultry feed, and ruminant animal feed.

– Powder and premix packaging

Used for packaging easily hygroscopic materials such as feed powder and premixes.

– Palletizing/Loading applications

Using robotic palletizers, full automation of packaging, palletizing, wrapping, or loading can be achieved.

IV. Selection Suggestions for Feed Companies

– Weighing system: Choose a high-precision, stable electronic weighing module.

– Control system: Prioritize PLC and touchscreen operation for ease of maintenance and upgrades.

– Service and Support: Confirm the manufacturer's installation and commissioning, operation training, spare parts supply, and maintenance services, and understand the equipment warranty period and response time.

V. Future Development Trends

Intelligent upgrade: Real-time monitoring of equipment operating data through IoT technology, combined with AI algorithms to optimize production parameters, achieving adaptive control and fault prediction.

Green and energy-saving development: Adopting variable frequency drives, efficient pneumatic systems, and intelligent standby modes to significantly reduce energy consumption and comply with environmental regulations.
