A weighing and packaging machine for open bags, the so-called ‘stand’, is an appliance whose main task is to properly weigh and fill a bag. All additional operations (stitching, hot sealing, applying crepe tape, etc.) aiming at closing a bag must be performed on a separate station.
The weighing and packaging machine is intended for weighing and packing loose / granulated / powdery products. Depending on the type of product being packed, the following feeders can be used for proportioning:
- Gravitational feeder
- Screw feeder
- Belt feeder
- Vibrational feeder
The weighing unit in this appliance is located on the mouthpiece and at the time of proportioning a bag becomes a scale of the balance – this is the so-called gross scales.
The weighing and packaging machine can be extended with a bag closing unit with a leading-through tape – LPack packing unit.
