WHY PACKWEIGH?

Packweigh has been operating in the Australian market for over 20 years.

It offers industrial bagging, sewing and packaging solutions to manufacturers wanting better efficiency and reliability.

The first step in spec’ing out a solution is to analyse what your current factory performance is, and then setting some targets.

Once you can identify what’s possible, you can recalculate unit costs based on faster speeds, which will then determine whether an investment in new machinery is warranted.

The Packweigh team are expert at assessing your current factory layout and giving you suggestions on how new machinery can work best in your factory.

Packweigh uses 3D drafting software to design your machine. This allows you to see what the machine looks like before installation.

Bulk Bag Machine

Bulk Bag Machine - PackweighWe have recently designed and manufactured a new Bulk Bag machine.

This new machine is a project developed by our Design Director, Jim Nolan.

These machines are used to fill up to 1 Tonne bags.

In this photo, one of our in-house Electricians John is working on the wiring and pneumatics of the latest machine. This is the 4th machine of this model we have built.

The machine operator hooks on a bag, presses start and the bag gets filled to weight. The bag spout is then released, and when the forklift lifts the bag the straps are released.
Production turnaround time for this machine is fast. The first step in analyzing whether this machine could be an option for you is to look at the potential labour savings that it will give you.
Once those savings have been quantified, we can then put a package together that will give you positive cash flow from Day1.
