Bag Stitching, Strapping and Wrapping Machines in Kenya: Prices for Feed, Flour and Fertiliser Packers

Once your flour, animal feed, fertiliser, rice or charcoal is weighed, the bag has to be closed fast and neatly, and cartons have to be strapped for transport. Here are the end-of-line machines from Africa Packaging Solutions on Buy More Mall.

Bag Stitching (Bag Closing) Machines

• Semi-automatic (portable): a hand-held sewing head that closes woven PP, jute and paper sacks. Available in single or twin needle and single or double thread. Good for posho mills, agrovets and small feed makers.
• Automatic line: a photo-sensor starts and stops the machine, and it cuts the thread and folds automatically. Built for feed mills, fertiliser plants, food processors and ports handling a steady flow of bags.

Strapping and Wrapping

The manual strapper tightens and seals 13–16 mm PP bands around cartons, crates and bundles. The tray wrapping machine seals cling film over trays with a heated Teflon plate; it suits supermarkets, butcheries, bakeries and fruit stalls, and takes film rolls up to 450 mm or 550 mm wide.

Band Sealing with Coding, and Conveyors

A continuous band sealer seals filled pouches as they move along, and the solid-ink model prints up to 3 lines (such as batch number and expiry date) at the same time. The conveyor carries products past inkjet coders and other machines at an adjustable speed.

Building a Packing Line Step by Step

1. Fill: filling machines for liquids, or a weighing scale for dry products.
2. Seal: sealing machines for pouches and bottles; a stitcher for sacks.
3. Code and label: batch coding and labelling machines. Packaged foods need batch and expiry details on each pack.
4. Pack out: strap cartons and wrap trays for delivery.

How to Use a Bag Closer Machine

1. Thread the machine with bag closer thread as shown in its manual.
2. Fold the bag top flat and even.
3. Feed the bag mouth into the presser foot and press the trigger; the machine pulls the bag through as it stitches.
4. Keep stitching past the edge to form a short chain, then cut it.
5. Oil the machine as the manual says to keep it running smoothly.
