Ezi Bagger Machine

Bagging Equipment

Filling bags or pots manually can be heavy and tedious work. Slow, inefficient, labor consuming and can cause injuries to backs and hands.

About 50 years ago, C-Mac started to manufacture bagging equipment to solve these problems!

Why fill bags by hand? Let the machine do the hard work.

Why use Bagging Machinery?  

1. Saves you time, earns you more dollars per ton of material by bagging. Produce more bags per minute to increase your production.
2. Increases your work efficiency and saves labor (cost) by filling bags quickly, accurately, and reliably. Personnel will spend considerably less time and won't mind filling bags. Staff can than be better utilised effectively elsewhere on site.
3. Minimizes operator fatigue, reduce risk of getting injuries.

• Workers risk injury when undertaking manual repetitive tasks such as back injuries and knuckle injuries.
• Filling bags without utilizing bagging machines, back injuries might occur when someone is bending while holding the bag and Knuckles injuries might occur when one person is holding the bag while another one shovels the material in.

Fertiliser Dibbling unit for Ezibagger

Nurseries and landscape suppliers usually have to add fertiliser with potting media, C-Mac has now developed a bolt on dibbling unit for our Ezi Bagger to meet customers’ requestes.

Past practice has been to toss a handfill or scoup of feriliser on top of the mix after the pot has been filled. When filling buckets or doing any bagging, the manual process of adding fertiliser can now be replaced by the ezibagger filling machine.

The Ezibagger dibbling accessory allows nurseries to mix an accurate measure of fertiliser into media as it is being deposited into a bucket, pot or bag, giving it a even spread throughout the mix.

How it works (see video below):

This accessory must be purchased with your machine to have a interface with the electronic control box. Amount of fertisler dispensed is set by timer and speed on the control box

1. Fill the big hopper with potting media
2. Fill the small hopper (dibbling unit) with fertiliser
3. Place the bucket or bag underneath the tube
   
4. Press the footer pedal
   
5. The small auger feeder(motor) under the small hopper then feeds the fertiliser down the tube to mix with the potting media as it drops into the container
   
6. Pot, bucket or bag is filled
   
7. Use conveyor to deliver the filled container to one side
   
8. Restart the process (4) every 6 12 seconds depending on container size.
