A sandbag filling system includes a support frame, a driving unit, a conveyor unit, and a hopper chute. The support frame includes a feed gate and an adjustable mount and is configured to receive a material and guide the material to a conveyor belt. The driving unit is arranged in the support frame and includes a motor connected to a drive shaft. The conveyor unit is arranged in the support frame as well and includes a conveyor belt configured to be moved by the driving unit. The hopper chute is arranged below the feed gate of the support frame and located proximal to the conveyor belt.

A high-speed continuous rotary type filling and packaging machine can identifies a defective filling head and a defective seal head and it also identify which part of a seal working surface in the seal head has a defect. In a sealing device of the high-seed continuous rotary type filling and packaging machine that covers a container body, which is filled with liquid contents, with a molded lid and seals the container body and the molded lid to produce a sealed container, a filling head number and a seal head number are inkjet-printed, desirably transparent ink, which can be read by irradiation of an ultraviolet ray, on a container body in which a seal working surface in the seal head and the top surface of the container molded lid are brought into press-contact and a positional relation between a seal working surface and the sealed container is fixed.
