A parcel sack management system and related process. The parcel sack management system includes a gathering conveyor configured to receive a parcel group at an intake and transport the parcel group to a sack filling station. The system includes a plurality of fill chutes that are transported along a circulating track, each fill chute configured to hold a sack. The parcel sack management system is configured to transfer parcels in the parcel group into a first sack via a first fill chute when the first fill chute is at the sack filling station.

The present invention relates to a machine (1) for filling bags (100) with a granular product comprising a filling station (2), a welding station (4), and a cooling station (6). The machine comprises a supporting device (8) for supporting the bags (100) below the stations (2, 4, 6). The device (8) comprises a supporting surface (10) assembled in a pivoting manner on a pivot shaft (12), and actuating means (14). The supporting surface (10) has a first supporting segment (16) for supporting the bags of the filling and welding stations (2, 4) on one side of the pivot shaft (12) and a second segment (18) for supporting the bag (100) of the cooling station (6) on the opposite side of said pivot shaft (12). The supporting surface (10) can pivot in an alternating manner around said pivot shaft (12) for moving the base of the bag (100) which, in operation, is located in the filling station (2) during filling. The invention also relates to a filling method.

A part packing system includes a bag holding machine including a part funnel having an opening configured to receive an end of a part and having a bag end manipulator holding first and second bag end gripper mechanisms that receive an end of the bag therebetween to open the end of the bag to form a mouth at the end of the bag. The bag end manipulator moves the first and second bag end gripper mechanisms to position the mouth of the bag immediately downstream of the opening of the part funnel. A part loading machine including a part manipulator holding the part and moving the part to a loading position upstream of the part funnel and moving the part gripper mechanism to load an end of the part through the opening in the part funnel into the mouth of the bag to load the part into the bag.

A table top appliance rapidly fills a pouch through some mechanical actuation or automation by inserting the pouch into the appliance and the machine fills the pouch. One embodiment of the food pouch filling station may be a mechanical version that includes a method to pump or push the contents of the container into the pouch. A second embodiment of the food pouch filling station may be an electric pump version that fills pouches and may have the option of controlling the amount of food dispensed. The food pouch filling station may also include a valve that connects to the pouch to control the flow to the pouch.

A system for filling of big bags of various heights with material and a method for adjusting thereof, wherein a big bag is to be placed with its filling spout around an outer pipe and the bottom of the big bag rests on and underlying surface. The outer pipe is telescopically engaged to a feed pipe. The feed pipe is in sections extendible. The feed pipe is designed to fill a determined quantity of material in a vertical stream from an overlying dosage unit via the outer pipe and down into the big bag. The feed pipe at its upper connection includes at least one radial continous interface surface design to attach to another feed pipe's downward facing rim or to the underside of the dosage unit.
