How to choose an
industrial bagging machine

Choosing the right bagging machine avoids two costly mistakes: equipment oversized for the actual volume, or undersized and becoming a bottleneck as soon as demand grows.

Points to consider

7 decision criteria

01
Product type — granular, meal, powder or pellets require different dosing systems.
02
Weight range per bag — from a few hundred grams (premium pet food) to 2 tons (big bag for export).
03
Production volume — seasonal operations may justify mechanical equipment; continuous high-volume production calls for electronic.
04
Bag type — open mouth, valve, or big bag — not every bagging machine handles all types.
05
Power/compressed air availability — mechanical equipment doesn't depend on this; electronic does.
06
NR-10/NR-12 compliance — relevant for automation with a conveyor.
07
Technical support and part replacement — imported equipment tends to have longer service and parts lead times.
