Use professionally manufactured feed bagging equipment and systems to fill 20-110 lb. paper or plastic open mouth bags (50lb. bags being the most popular) with many different types of feed.  Buy just the feed bagger or an entire bagging system that includes a 25-100 cu. ft. storage hopper, feed bagger, bag conveyors, bag sewing machine, palletizer, and more.

Need an automatic bagging machine or system for faster bagging and palletizing?

We can also provide an automatic bagging machine or system to fit existing bagging operations including a high-speed net weigh bagger, industrial bag handling conveyors, robotic palletizers, and more.

1. Manual Feed Bagging Machines (4-6 bags per minute)

Call: (979) 217-1480

2. Semi-Automatic Feed Bagging Machines (10-12 bags per minute)

• 50-200 cubic foot capacity hoppers and scale supports – store more feed for faster bagging rates!
• High-speed net weigh bagger – feed is automatically loaded into an internal weigh hopper while a bag is being filled below, thus increasing bag fill rates
• Bagging sticky feeds? – use a belt-fed gross weigh bagger. For bagging powders and feed additives, we recommend an auger fed bagger.
• In this type of bagging system, an operator manually places a bag on the machine’s spout – a pneumatic bag clamp engages and holds the bag on the spout during filling.  Add an automatic bag placing machine to increase automation and further reduce labor costs.
• High-speed bag sewing system – after filling, the bag drops onto a closing conveyor and travels through a bag sewer
• Bag conveyors – after sewing the bag is “knocked down”, travels through a bag flattener, and then onto a palletizing conveyor
• Palletizing – flattened bags are manually palletized by an operator(s) or with a semi-automatic robotic palletizing system

Watch a Video

This video shows an automated feed bagging system.  Even though the system has a high-speed bagger and automatic bag hanger, it falls under the “semi-automatic” category because palletizing is done manually by multiple operators at the end of the bagging line.

3. Fully-Automatic Feed Bagging System (15-18 bags per minute)

• 80-200 cu. ft. hoppers – store more feed for faster bagging rates
• High-speed net weigh bagger – feed is automatically loaded into dual internal weigh hoppers while a bag is being filled below.
• Bagging sticky feeds? – use a belt-fed bagger. For bagging powders and feed additives, we recommend an auger fed bagger.
• Automatic bag hanger – a robot picks up empty bags, opens them, and places them on the bagger’s spout
• High-speed bag sewing system – the bagger drops the filled bags onto a closing conveyor, where they travel through a high-speed bag sewing system
• Bag conveyors – after sewing, bags are “knocked down”, travel through a bag flattener, and then onto a robot pick conveyor.
• Fully-automatic palletizing system – with pallet dispenser, stretch wrapper, and bag palletizing robot

Whether you are bagging livestock feed, bird seed, horse feed, or feed additives, we can provide the right equipment and system for your animal feed bagging business.  These baggers and systems consistently and accurately fill 50lb. bags with many different types of animal feed.  Automated bagging machines and equipment can provide the quickest return on your investment and can be operated by a few number of employees with very little training.

One way nut companies can improve their bottom line is by implementing the right nut coating equipment. With an effective coating system powered by APEC’s Mistcoater, you’ll waste less down time cleaning and maintaining your equipment, and you’ll deliver a superior product to your customers.

With APEC’s Mistcoater liquid applicator, coating nuts is easier and more efficient than ever. The Mistcoater equipment is hands-down the best choice in the nut industry for applying various coatings to nuts and nut products. These coatings include:

• Salty Coatings: Because it doesn’t use spray nozzles, the Mistcoater can easily handle liquids with suspended solids.
• Sugary Coatings: A handy swing-out coating chamber provides easy access for cleaning after applying sugary coatings.
• Chocolate Coatings: Accurate and uniform coating ensures that each nut is consistently covered.

APEC’s Mistcoater At Work

One case study completed by APEC illustrated the benefits of using the Mistcoater. One major manufacturer of nuts experienced company growth, resulting in a need to expand the operation. The manufacturer’s old system was messy and ineffective, resulting in loss of ingredients and contamination during the roasting process.

APEC’s technical staff experimented with a coating system using the Mistcoater because the machine has the ability to apply liquids to dry solids without using spray nozzles. The manufacturer was so impressed with the performance of the experimental Mistcoater that they ordered two systems to immediately replace their old line. The new APEC system eliminated the mess and threat of contamination, and has saved the manufacturer thousands of dollars in lost profits.

How Does The Mistcoater Work?

The Mistcoater is user-friendly and simple, yet powerful, in its design. Here are the basics of how APEC’s Mistcoater gets the job done:

• Spinning disks atomize the liquid flavorings being applied to the nuts
• This liquid and other dry ingredients are dispensed by weight – eliminating the need for guess work
• After the nuts are coated, a retention conveyor ensures that the ingredients have time to be completely dispersed onto the nuts, resulting in a uniform coating.

Because the Mistcoater system is completely enclosed, much of the mess involved in the coating process is eliminated. The Mistcoater’s design features mean an improved bottom line by eliminating waste and the labor costs associated with downtime caused by clogged spray nozzles.

Three Things to Consider When Shopping For Nut Coating Equipment

When considering commercial nut coating equipment, be sure to look for these three qualities:

1. Easy Cleaning & Maintenance: The Mistcoater’s swing out coating chamber design provides easy access to the moving parts, making cleaning and maintenance easy and painless.
2. No Spray Nozzles: Liquids used in nut coating can be problematic for spray nozzles, easily clogging (leading to more expensive downtime). The Mistcoater’s spinning disks eliminate the clogging issue.
3. Fully enclosed: The Mistcoater’s fully enclosed design improves efficiency and keeps fugitive particles from filling the surrounding area. It also cuts down on housekeeping by keeping the mess contained.
