Granular blends
BB and NPK blends, free-flowing, 2–4 mm. Standard net-weight filler.
01 · Complete production solution
BB Fertilizer Packing Line
The finishing end of a blending plant as a standalone system: net-weight filling, sealing, conveying and palletising, sized to the bags you actually sell.
02
Quick answer
What this line is
Packing is where the blend meets the customer. This line takes blended material from a silo or day bin and delivers sealed, weighed, palletised bags, with the weighing accuracy and dust control that decide whether the net weight is legal and the plant is pleasant to work in.
The net-weight filler is the legal instrument of the plant; the palletiser is the labour saving.
03
Inputs
Suitable raw materials
The line handles free-flowing granular blends. Powder-heavy or sticky products need a different filler type, so the material matters.
Powder blends
Slower filling, more dust; needs a different dosing head and stronger extraction.
Coated products
Coating oil can make granules sticky in the hopper; agitation may be needed.
Bag types
PP woven, laminated, PE-lined or bulk bags; the filling head is chosen for the bag.
Pallet types
Standard wooden or plastic pallets; the palletiser pattern follows the bag size.
04
Output
Target finished product
Output is measured in bags per hour at a stated net-weight tolerance, not in tonnes per hour.
Net weight
Checked by checkweigher; legal-for-trade requirements vary by market.
Seal integrity
Sewn or heat-sealed depending on bag and product hygroscopicity.
Bag appearance
A square, upright bag stacks and sells better than a slumped one.
Dust on the bag
Wiped or extracted before palletising; dust on the outside is a complaint waiting to happen.
05
Production sequence
Process flow
Five stages from silo to pallet. Each one is a separate machine that can be added in phases.
| Stage | Purpose | Key equipment | Control point |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Buffer silo | Decouple blending from packing | Day bin with level control | Bridging, segregation |
| 2. Net-weight filling | Fill each bag to target weight | Automatic weighing and filling machine | Dribble feed setting |
| 3. Sealing | Close the bag | Sewing or heat sealer | Seam strength |
| 4. Conveying | Move and flatten the bag | Belt conveyor, bag flattener | Bag stability |
| 5. Palletising | Stack to pattern | Palletiser or robotic arm | Pattern vs pallet strength |
Why this order: a buffer silo between blending and packing is not optional in practice: without it, every blending changeover stops the bagger, and the bagger is the bottleneck you are paying for.

Equipment
Equipment configuration
Typical equipment scope for this route. Final selection follows the approved mass balance and site conditions.
07
Capacity
Capacity bands
Bands describe typical project scale; the actual figure is confirmed by mass balance, not by a nominal model number.
Semi-automatic; manual bag placing, single filler.
Automatic bag placing, sewing and palletising.
Twin fillers with automatic palletiser and stretch wrapper.
08
Operation
Utility requirements
Basis for the utility sheet. Local voltage, fuel and water quality are confirmed during engineering.
Power
Filler, conveyors and palletiser.
Compressed air
Bag clamps, cylinders, cleaning.
Dust collection
At the filling spout; the main housekeeping issue on any bagging line.
Floor space
Palletising and bag storage usually need more area than the filler itself.
09
Quality
Quality control points
Controls that decide whether the line holds its specification in daily operation.
Checkweigher
Every bag or a defined sample, logged.
Seam strength
Tested at start of shift.
Bag count reconciliation
Bags packed vs bags shipped.
Dust on surface
Visual check before palletising.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask
Straight answers on scope, limits and what we need to quote.
What bag sizes can it run?
Typically 10–50 kg, with the filling head and pallet pattern set for the size you sell most.
Can it run powder blends?
Yes, with a different dosing head and stronger dust extraction; the throughput drops.
Is a palletiser worth it?
Above roughly 8 bags per minute, manual stacking becomes the constraint and the injury risk.
What do you need to quote?
Bag size and type, bags per hour, product bulk density and the local legal metrology requirement.
