Bilwinco - Weighing and Bagging Line

• Precisely weighing and packaging free-flowing products such as nuts, snacks, confectionery, and granular goods.
• Automating the packaging process for improved efficiency and reduced labour costs.
• Creating various bag formats, commonly pillow or gusseted bags, for retail or bulk distribution.
• Integrating into larger production lines for end-to-end processing and packaging.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 15 to 60 bags per minute, depending on product density, target weight, and bag size.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V or 415V, 50Hz, with a compressed air supply.

Weighing accuracy

Multihead weighers are known for high precision, typically achieving accuracy within 0.5 to 1.5 grams for target weights in this range.

Bagging machine type

Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) machines are standard for this application, forming bags from a roll of film.

Product suitability

Best suited for dry, free-flowing products; sticky or irregularly shaped items may require specific adaptations.

Footprint

A complete line including elevator, gantry, weigher, bagger, and outfeed conveyor typically requires a significant floor area, often 4-6 metres in length and 2-3 metres in width, plus operational space.

Packaging material

Commonly uses heat-sealable film rolls, such as laminates or polyethylene, suitable for VFFS machines.

• What kind of products can this line pack?

  This type of line is primarily designed for packing dry, free-flowing granular or small piece products, such as nuts, seeds, crisps, sweets, and certain frozen foods.

• What bag sizes can this equipment handle?

• Is specialist film required for bagging?

• What maintenance is typically involved with a used weighing and bagging line?

• Can this line be integrated with other machinery?

Filling machines remain sought-after on the secondhand market due to their durability and long operational lifespan. Buyers typically value models from established manufacturers known for robust construction. When purchasing used units, inspectors should verify seal integrity, calibration accuracy, and maintenance history, as these directly affect product consistency and line efficiency. Common strengths include straightforward mechanical design facilitating repairs and adaptability to different container sizes. Reliability and minimal downtime are frequently cited priorities among processors seeking cost-effective production solutions.
