Bag Opener and Manual Loading Machines
Designed to help increase productivity and minimize downtime for reloading and changeovers.
- Production Flexibility
Manual loading allows for quick adjustments to different bag sizes, types, or product variations without the need for reconfiguration.
Space Efficiency
Manual bag loading setups can be less bulky and require less floor space than automated systems, which can be beneficial in facilities with limited room.
Overview
For smaller operations or specialized products produced in smaller volumes, manual bag loading can provide flexibility, quality control, and simplicity.
Manual equipment like our BL189 and BL190 feed taped shrink bags from box or roll, and then use air and spreader arms to hold them open. An operator can then place product into the bag easily, which increases productivity even when full automation isn’t required.
Manual bag loading setups generally require a smaller initial capital investment compared to fully automated systems. While automated bagging systems offer more significant operational benefits, manual bag loading equipment can provide flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and quality control, making them a good choice for smaller or new operations or those with tighter budgets.
