Bagging device
A bagging device is a device on various machines for filling sacks with bulk material or fiber material or bags with coins on money counting machines . Bagging devices are used in various technical systems. In agriculture, bagging devices were replaced by the grain tank on combine harvesters in the mid-1960s , from which the harvested crop is either unloaded loosely onto trailers using a discharge pipe. They are still widespread today in the processing of seeds and are mostly fully automated in the cement industry. Even small quantities of mill products , fertilizer and animal feed are filled into sacks in bagging devices.
How it works with a combine harvester
The material to be bagged, in this case grain, is fed to a cylinder. This cylinder has several openings that are used for the actual filling of bags. These openings can be closed. In order to distribute the grain evenly, a grain auger runs in the bagging cylinder. The sacks must be removed from the sack rack by the operating personnel and filled at the cylinder. The bags are then knotted and temporarily stored on the bagging platform. From there, the bags can be loaded onto a trailer using a bag chute.
