Rugged Conveying Solutions for Handling Unstable Bagged Products and Harsh Environments.

From filling to palletizing, our systems control difficult bag geometry and withstand dust, grit, and heavy usage. We deliver consistent flow and shaping to ensure your palletizers operate at peak efficiency.

When Bags Aren’t Moved Carefully, Damage and Downtime Add Up

Reduce Product Damage

Bags are notoriously difficult to convey; they slip, deform, and tear. Standard conveyors often fail to maintain orientation, leading to messy jams and damaged product that cannot be sold.

System Failure

Overcome Environmental Wear. In seed and feed applications, dust and abrasive grit quickly destroy standard bearings and drives. Without heavy-duty, protected components, systems face frequent mechanical failures and costly parts replacement.

Where Bag Handling Systems Deliver Results

What industries typically use these systems:

Conveyor Types Often Used in Bag Handling Systems

Bag Flattening Conveyors

Opposed belt systems that compress bags to remove air and create a uniform shape for stable stacking.

Square Roller Conveyor

Specialized rollers that gently agitate bags to settle contents and improve stackability without damaging the packaging.

Slider Bed Belt Conveyors

Fully supported belts that prevent bags from sagging or catching, ensuring smooth transport.

Turning Conveyors

Power curves or specialized turns designed to maintain bag orientation without slipping.

Our Proven Process for Engineering Conveyor Systems

Engineering and Custom Design

We evaluate your bag material and fill level to design a system that shapes and controls the load effectively.

Manufacturing and Factory Acceptance Testing

Built with dust-protection packages and tested with your actual product to verify flow characteristics.

On-site Installation and Project Management

Expert installation including integration with baggers and palletizers for a complete line solution.
