Semi-Automatic Bagging Scales, 28in Spout

OM2 Semi Automatic and Manual Bagging Scale

The OM2 and OM2A Scales are tough and easy to use. Colorado Mill Equipment is the company that makes and sells these bagging scales. Once you enter the weight you want to fill, between 15 and 115 lbs, the scale will fill to that weight exactly, repeating the weight. The OM2 and OM2A scales use bulk and dribble feeding to achieve a complete and accurate fill. The OM2 is a manual scale where you place a bag on the fill spout and flip the switch. Scale turns off automatically. You lift the bag release to drop the bag.

The OM2A is a fast semi automatic bagging machine that reduces operator fatigue. Once you place the bag on the spout the process is automatic. Scale clamps the bag in place, opens, fills, shuts off and drops the bag.

Double beam, double poise scale is self dampening. Calibration fine adjustment weight and pointer are on the beam.

Bag spout on both the OM2 and OM2A is diamond shaped for fast bag placement. Large and small mouth versions are available to fit most bag sizes. Standard spout size is 28”. OM2A operates on 110V/50/60Hz (220V available) and requires 100PSI and 2 CFM air for controls. Normal depth from bin to floor line is 68” to 72”.

Units ship in two cartons, 19” L x 30” W x 12 H” (scale top) and 12” L x 19” W x 18” H (spout), Ship wt. 150 lbs.

OM2 Bagging Scale Overview

The OM2 Bagging Scale is a high performance bagging system that accurately weighs and fills bags with dry bulk materials. With its advanced technology and rugged construction the OM2 Bagging Scale is perfect for food processing, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. 25″ spout circumference, free flowing, non dusty products. Auger feeder conditions and delivers product to ensure a consistent flow for accurate weighing and filling. Fully mechanical gross weigh bagger, each bag to exact weight, reliability and precision in every package. OM2 Bagging Scale goal is to ensure consistent material transfer, accuracy and efficiency in filling bags. Key terms to understand in bagging systems are material flow characteristics, metering methods and weighing functionalities.

What is a Bagging System?

A bagging scale is a key component in any bagging system and weighed. Designed to weigh and dispense a specific amount of dry bulk material into an open mouth bag, it ensures each bag to exact weighed material. Filling stops when target weight is reached, precise and consistent results. This precision reduces waste and increases overall efficiency. Bagging scales are necessary in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals and chemicals where bag filling is critical. By adding a bagging scale to your operation you can achieve weight accuracy so every bag meets spec.

Benefits of a Bagging Scale

The benefits of a bagging scale are many. First it accurately weighs materials so each bag is filled to exact weight, minimizes overfill and waste. This means faster packaging overall. Second bagging scales ensure product quality which is critical to customer satisfaction. By reducing rework and waste disposal you can save money. Third a bagging scale ensures compliance with regulations and industry standards so it’s a must have for any business looking to optimize packaging weighed.

OM2 Bagging Scale Features

The OM2 Bagging Scales are designed to provide accurate and fast bagging solutions for many industries. Features:

• High speed bagging: Fill up to 12 bags per minute, increase productivity.* Advanced weighing: Each bag is filled to exact weight, consistent weight.

• Heavy duty: Built to withstand heavy use, long life.

• Easy to use: Operators can set target weight and monitor fill, increase efficiency.

• Versatile: Compatible with many bag sizes and types, paper, plastic, polypropylene bags, to fit your packaging needs.

Bagging System Components

A bagging system consists of several components, each plays a key role in the process. At the heart of the system is the bagging scale, weighs and fills bags with the desired amount of material like corn The conveyor belt then takes the bags to the packaging equipment where they are sealed and ready to ship. Additional components like dust collection systems and material handling equipment may also be included to ensure safe and efficient operation. Together these components make a seamless bagging system weighed.

Material Handling and Flow Management

Material handling and flow management is key to a smooth and accurate bagging process. The choice of equipment depends on the material being filled—free flowing granular products like grains and salt require different handling solutions than powders or fine granules. Belt feeders, gravity gates and vibratory feeders are used in bagging systems to control the flow of material into the scale. Each piece of equipment is designed to accommodate the specific flow properties and target size of the product, so the system can handle a wide range of materials. Proper configuration of the bagging system allows for consistent filling whether the product is conveyed in bulk or in smaller quantities. Our experience in material handling ensures every system is custom designed to meet the unique needs of each application, delivers reliable performance and accurate results.

Scale Maintenance

Maintaining your scale is crucial for ongoing accuracy and reliability in your bagging system. Regular cleaning and calibration of the scale prevents errors and ensures precision. It’s important to regularly inspect components like the belt feeder and gravity gate, replace any worn parts to avoid interruptions in the filling process. The control should also be updated and maintained to keep up with changing material handling requirements. By following a maintenance schedule companies can extend the life of their equipment, reduce downtime and ensure every one is filled to the correct size. Our expertise in scale maintenance supports customers to achieve their production and high standards of quality and efficiency.
