BAGGING THE PRODUCT

The process of bagging the processed grain product or pellets is to weigh the bag, ticket the bag (label it) and sew up the bag. Large bags of feed are 100 lbs. or 50 lb. sizes.		Products are tapped out (or measured) using various devices including weights.		This special sewing machine hangs on a cable and floats in the air as the worker stitches up the open end of the bag.
