Matthiesen Magic Finger Packaging System
Automatic baggers can streamline your packaging operation and create cost savings by reducing staffing, increase consistency, and can easily be integrated into additional future automation. The Matthiesen Magic Finger is a simple, affordable automation solution!
The Matthiesen Magic Finger Packaging System is a fully automatic bagger which will fill and close 5- to 10-pound bags. Product is moved from the hopper to the volumetric drum then dropped into a pre-positioned bag. The Magic Finger wand pulls the bag with assistance from the bag conveyor to the optional bag closing unit. This is available as a top-feed system or with a feed screw for bottom-feeding.
The Matthiesen Magic Finger Packaging System is a simple solution to automation and a creative way to reduce operating costs and increase the productivity of your packaging line personnel.
