Fertilizer Weighing & Bagging

FertiBagger

Flexible Fertilizer Bagging.

Single Line or Fully Independent Twin Line Configuration

FertiBagger is a modular fertilizer weighing and bagging system for new fertilizer plants or integration into existing operations around conveyors, hoppers, structures and utilities already in place.

FertiBagger fertilizer weighing and bagging system installed inside an industrial fertilizer plant
Operational Continuity Independent twin lines allow one line to remain operating while the other is stopped for maintenance, adjustment or thread changes.
Bag Sizes 10 / 25 / 50 / 500 kg

Configured around the required packaging arrangement.

Line Configuration Single or Twin Line

Selected according to required output and plant configuration.

50 kg Line Performance Approx. 30 t/h Per Line

Under optimal operating conditions.

50 kg Bag Cycle Approx. 5 to 6 Seconds

Approximately one 50 kg bag per cycle under optimal conditions.

Application

Keep Finished Product Moving Through the Bagging Stage.

Bagging sits at a critical point between finished fertilizer production and downstream handling.

FertiBagger is configured around the required output, bag format and plant arrangement so the bagging stage supports the wider process.

Bagging Application Weigh, fill and move finished fertilizer into the next handling stage.
Production Flow

Match Bagging Capacity to the Process

The bagging stage needs to handle finished product at a rate that supports required plant output without creating an unnecessary bottleneck.

Packaging

Configure for the Required Bag Size

FertiBagger can be configured for 10 kg, 25 kg, 50 kg and 500 kg fertilizer packaging requirements.

Line Availability

Independent Twin Line Operation

In a twin line configuration, each bagging line operates independently. One line can remain in operation while the other is stopped for maintenance, adjustment or thread changes.

Plant Integration

Connect Bagging to Downstream Handling

The bagging arrangement can be developed around existing conveyors, structures and utilities while considering how filled bags move into stitching and finished bag handling.

Operational Principle The bagging system should support the process, not become the bottleneck.

Configuration is developed around required output, packaging format and how finished bags need to move into stitching, conveying and downstream handling.

Engineering Features

Built Around the Bagging Requirement.

FertiBagger is configured around the required bag format, production output and the way the bagging stage needs to connect with the wider fertilizer process.

Equipment arrangement can be developed for a single line, fully independent twin lines, a new plant or integration into an existing operation.

Configuration

Single or Twin Line

The system can be configured as a single bagging line or as two independent lines according to the required output.

Line Independence

Independent Twin Line Operation

In a twin line arrangement, one line can remain operational while the other is stopped for maintenance, adjustment or thread changes.

Packaging Formats

Multiple Bag Sizes

FertiBagger can be configured for 10 kg, 25 kg, 50 kg and 500 kg fertilizer packaging requirements.

50 kg Configuration

Double Drop Arrangement Where Required

Smaller bagging configurations can be arranged so that 50 kg bags are filled using double drops where the application requires it.

Plant Integration

New Plant or Retrofit

FertiBagger can form part of a new fertilizer plant or integrate around existing conveyors, hoppers, structures and utilities where practical.

500 kg Bags

Dedicated Bulk Bag Support

The 500 kg arrangement uses dedicated bag supports and loop holders together with the appropriate filling and handling configuration.

Integrated Bagging Equipment Configuration developed around bag size, required output and plant integration.
Engineering Principle Package the product in the format the operation requires.

Bag size, required output, downstream stitching and handling, and the infrastructure already available on site all influence the final bagging configuration.

Support, Calibration & Spares

Support the Bagging System Beyond Installation.

Accurate fertilizer bagging depends on more than the mechanical equipment. Weighing, controls, setup and operator understanding all contribute to consistent operation.

Ferti support can extend through installation, calibration, commissioning, training, fault finding and ongoing technical support.

Install

Installation & Assembly Support

Support can be provided for equipment installation and assembly according to the requirements of the supplied bagging system.

Calibrate

Load Cell & Weighing Calibration

Weighing systems can be calibrated as part of commissioning to prepare the equipment for the required bagging operation.

Commission

Commissioning

The bagging equipment can be commissioned together with the relevant feed, control and downstream handling systems.

Train

Operator & Maintenance Training

Training can cover practical operation, routine checks and maintenance requirements for the supplied equipment.

Ongoing Technical Support

Fault Finding When the Plant Needs It.

Remote technical assistance can support fault finding and operational issues, with on-site support available where remote assistance is not sufficient.

Support requirements can be considered around the installation, equipment configuration and operating environment.

Critical Spares Spare requirements can be planned around the supplied bagging system.
Weighing

Spare Load Cells

Calibrated spare load cells can be included where applicable.

Controls

Bagging Controllers

Preconfigured weighing and bagging controllers can be supplied.

Electrical

Electrical Spares

Selected electrical components can form part of the critical spares package.

Pneumatic

Pneumatic Spares

Pneumatic components can be included according to the supplied system.

Replacement Components Support local sourcing where practical.

Where standard commercially available components are used, replacement specifications can be provided to support local sourcing. Specialised or preconfigured components can be supplied from South Africa.

Services & Support Installation, calibration, commissioning, training and technical support form part of the wider Ferti capability.

Discuss Your FertiBagger Requirement

Start With Your Bag Format and Required Output.

Tell the Ferti team what you need to bag, the packaging format required and the production output the system needs to support.

From there, the bagging arrangement can be developed around your process, plant layout, existing equipment and downstream handling requirements.

Not sure which configuration is required? Start with your process, packaging requirement and required output.

Useful Project Information

Tell Us What You Know So Far.

Preliminary information, photographs, drawings and plant layouts are enough to begin the engineering discussion.

Bag Format What bag size or combination of bag sizes is required?
Required Output What production rate must the bagging system support?
Line Configuration Is the requirement for a single line or twin line system?
Existing Equipment Which conveyors, hoppers, structures or utilities need to remain?
Site & Layout Share available space, access and relevant plant constraints.
Finished Bag Handling How should bags move through stitching, conveying and handling?

For retrofit projects, photographs and dimensions of the existing bagging area are particularly useful.
