What is the Ton Bag Packing Machine?

what is ton bag packing machine

The ton bag packing machine is a large automatic bagging machine for the bulk bag. It is also named bulk bag filling machine, jumbo bag filling machine, bulk bagging machine, big bag filling machine, FIBC filling machine, etc.

With its high precision, efficiency, and ability to ensure a clean environment, the ton bag packing machine is widely used in many industries.

As we all know, they have complex mechanical mechanisms and functions. So, by reading this article, you will get a more detailed understanding of the ton bag packing machine.

▎1. About the Ton Bag

The tog bag is one kind of flexible transport packaging container (FIBC). Also known as bulk bags, big bags, and space bags.

It is a large woven bag used for packing bulk materials. Usually, the load-bearing capacity is between 0.5 and 3 tons, and the volume is between 500 and 2300 liters.

It has the characteristics of large volume, lightweight, easy loading and unloading, and it has a simple structure, light self-weight, can be folded, and reusable.

Because of many advantages, the ton bag has become one of the most frequently used packaging containers in many industries.

Have you often seen trucks transporting ton bags on the road? Less packaging costs, more powerful packaging capacity, and broader markets.

▎2. About the Ton Bag Packing Machine

The bulk bag packaging machine is designed for filling bulk material in big bags with a high level of automation. It integrates filling, weighing, clamping, rising, and dust removal. The precise filling and fast packing speed significantly reduce the labor cost and protect the environment.

2.1 Main Structure

The complete bulk bag filling system is composed of several components, including:

  • Feeding mechanism
  • Weighing mechanism
  • Bag clamping mechanism
  • Bag hanging mechanism
  • Hydraulic lifting mechanism
  • Dust removal mechanism
  • Bag raising mechanism
  • Auxiliary steel structure platform
  • Electrical control system
  • Conveying system (optional)

2.2 Working Principle

Firstly, hang four corners of the bulk bag on the hook, load the bag mouth on the bag clamping mechanism (discharge port), and then toggle the discharge switch.

The bag clamping mechanism will firmly clamp the bag mouth so that the bag mouth and the discharge mouth are entirely in contact with no gap. Then the bag rising mechanism starts to work, and the blower blows the wind into the bag, allowing the jumbo bag to open fully.

Then, the weighing system will automatically remove the ton bag weight, and the feeding mechanism starts feeding. The material flows into the bag evenly when the air and dust inside the bag overflows and is discharged from the dust removal duct.

Meanwhile, the hydraulic weighing mechanism lifts the bag up. As the material continues to fill the big bag, the weight of the ton bag increases, and the height of the ton bag decreases.

The feeding stops when the weighing system detects that the weight has reached a preset value. The big bag also falls on the platform, and the bag clamping mechanism opens. Then use the forklift or transport system to remove bags away.

2.3 Main Functions

  • Advanced ton bag packing scale manufacturing process, stable mechanical structure, less wear and tear, and long service time.
  • The ton bag packing system is equipped with a high precision load cell for accurate weighing with ±0.2% error.
  • Customizable discharge open-mouth size, providing a high-speed feeding option and fast packing speed.
  • Equipped with dustproof and dust removal function to ensure a clean working environment and employee health.
  • Material contact parts are available in stainless steel for longer life and lower manufacturing cost.
  • The ton bag weighing system is controlled by a computer with full panel digital timing and parameter setting, total weight display, automatic tare, and automatic calibration.
  • Instrument panel with information transmission interface for easy data transmission.

2.4 Application Materials

The jumbo bag filling equipment is suitable for packing a bulk quantity of solid granules and powder materials. Examples: salt, rice, grains, coal blocks, and other products.

2.6 Feeding Method

Different materials have different characteristics, and to meet diverse packaging needs, wxtytech offers three feeding methods for ton bag packing equipment. Our technicians will also recommend the most suitable feeding method for you according to the characteristics of your product.

It uses gravity to fall materials vertically into the bulk bag. This feeding method is simple in structure and stable in operation. Suitable for some solid materials with large particle sizes, such as coal blocks, salt blocks, etc.

It uses the rotation of screws to drive material forward and feed into the jumbo bag. This feeding way is suitable for smaller-sized powder materials.

Because this type of material is prone to blockage, using screws can prevent blockage. At the same time, using screws can also keep precise control of the feeding volume and accurate weighing.

2.6.3 Belt Feeding

This is a versatile feeding method, but the main application is packing sticky materials. Such materials tend to stick to the inside of the machine, rendering it inoperable.

With belt feeding, the material will only attach to the belt and will not affect the operation of the device.

2.7 Weighing Method

In general, automatic ton bag packing machines can weigh in two ways: top and bottom. They both have suitable scenarios for application. Our technicians will also advise you correctly.

2.7.1 Top Weighing

The weighing section is located in the machine’s upper part for this type of product. The bags are hung on four hooks connected to hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic cylinders control the lifting of the bags and use the lift of the cylinders to calculate the weight of the big bags.

At the same time, this approach can also “vibrate the bag.” Vibrating the bag up and down in small increments can distribute the material in the bag more evenly and improve the accuracy of the weighing.

It is important to note that the height of the machine is high due to the integration of several mechanical structures and vertical cylinders in the upper part, which must meet the height requirements of the production hall. If the height of your factory is limited, you can only choose another type of ton bag packing machine.

2.7.2 Bottom Weighing

To meet the height restrictions of some customers’ production halls, we also offer the bottom weighing ton bag packing scale. The weighing mechanism is located at the bottom of the machine, below the platform, where we have installed load cells.

You put the ton bag on the platform, and as the material continues to enter the bag, the weight of the bag increases, which causes the pressure on the platform to increase and the load cell to deform. It can calculate the accurate weight by measuring the deformation’s magnitude.

The platform can also be replaced with a belt conveyor. We will place the load cell at the bottom of the belt conveyor. When the jumbo bag meets the weight requirements, the belt conveyor can convey it directly away.

The choice of weighing and feeding method is determined by the material’s characteristics and the site’s conditions. If you don’t know how to choose, contact us, and our experts will ask for the necessary information and give you the right bulk bag packing solution.

3.3 About the Ton Bag Packing Machine Price

In addition to the quality of the product, customers are also very concerned about the price of the tonnage scales. This factor will largely influence the customer’s purchasing decision.

In the past, international communication was not smooth, and many providers were trading companies. They purchased equipment from the factory at a low price and then sold it to the customer at a high price.

The customer could not enjoy quality service while bearing the cost of an expensive purchase. Because the merchants are not the real producers, they cannot provide their customers with the related service on time.

Now, as a source producer, we can sell the ton bag packing machine to our customers cheaply. The cheapest one is available for as low as USD 6,000.

Not only do we offer good prices, but we also provide excellent and timely service.

Most importantly, wxtytech is currently opening up the international market, and all products are available at an additional discount. We believe the competitive price will make our products more attractive to our customers.
