Operating Principle

The model OMBF is equipped with mechanical or electronic scales, with a belt feeder. The feeder can either be single-speed or two-speed fill, depending on the chosen options. With the bag on the spout, and the start sequence engaged, the material will be conveyed into the bag until the desired weight is obtained. The bag will then drop automatically or be foot-pedal activated to drop onto the conveyor.
