Bagging machines

Hayden and Damon test a Control box in the Packweigh Factory

Here at Packweigh, we carry out quality control and testing on every item of Machinery that leaves our factory.

When we build any bagging equipment, we will ask for samples of your product and your bags, so that we can test your product here at our factory before it is shipped to you and installed.

That way, we know that there will be minimal delays in getting your new machinery up and running efficiently after it is installed.

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.

During the build you are welcome to drop into our Factory to view our progress. Once the machine has been manufactured, we then arrange a time for installation and commissioning at your factory. Our team work with your team on-site to install and commission your machine. At the end of the commissioning period, your team will be fully trained in the operation of the machine. However, we are in business for the long term, so we are always at the end of the phone, and are committed to solving any issues you may have moving forward.

Auspack 2017

Packweigh at Auspack 2017

Packweigh was proud to have a stand at the recent 2017 Auspack trade show in Sydney. The show focussed on processing and packaging equipment.

Sales Director, Rod Wilson said “Auspack 2017 was a huge success for Packweigh. It gave us the opportunity to meet many new people in the industry, plus we were able to catch up with lots of our existing customers.”

Packweigh has a strong alliance with leading European manufacturer TMI.

TMI Sales Director David Palludes from Spain also attended the show on the Packweigh stand.

TMI is based in Spain and supplies palletising equipment and high speed bagging lines. TMI is a very reliable and solid partner to work with.  See TMI at http://www.tmipal.com/en

Who is Packweigh?

When Packweigh was initially formed back 25 years ago by Jim Nolan, the focus was on Industrial Sewing Machine repairs. As the company grew, it moved into the manufacture of bagging and weighing equipment. Jim, along with his fellow Director Rod Wilson recognised the need for quality bagging equipment capable of solid speeds, and high utilisation.
By manufacturing in Australia, there can be a high focus on precision and quality. In some cases, Packweigh imports equipment from overseas, where there is a clear advantage for their customer to do so.

 

Bagging lines made in Australia

Bagging lines made in Australia

Packweigh manufactures Bagging machines in Australia

Packweigh specialises in bagging lines made in Australia.

We believe that locally made bagging equipment will last longer and perform better than equipment sourced overseas. But Packweigh does work closely with the large european supplier TMI who are a well established supplier of high speed bagging and palletising equipment.

So with Packweigh, you get a solid combination of bagging lines made in Australia with proven palletising european palletising equipment.

We employ a solid team of tradesman here in our Brisbane factory. We cover metal and electrical trades.

Our process works like this.

Firstly we analyse you needs and put together some solutions. Once we agree of the best solution with you, get to work to design your line. We find that most of our projects have some specific requirements. One size does not always fit all!

Once the designs are agreed to, we set about building your machines and getting the electricals built. Safety requirements come in at this stage too.

In many cases, we do product trials here in our factory. Once we get to the point to delivery, we set dates for on-site commissioning and training.

Bulk Bag Machine

/1 Comment/in , /by

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.

Who is Packweigh?

Packweigh designs and manufactures bag filling equipment in Brisbane, and operates predominantly in the Australian and New Zealand markets.  They have been operating for over 20 years, starting in the Industrial sewing machine industry, and then moving into machinery design and manufacture. Packweigh have a small team of highly trained Designers, Engineers and Electricians who work together to produce industry leading machines that are built for the long term. The first step is to have a chat to Rod Wilson, our Sales Director. Once Rod has an understanding of your requirements, he can put forward various options. In most cases, an on-site visit is necessary to properly scope out your project. And of course, you are always welcome to visit Packweigh’s factory, based in Brisbane.
