The common bagged flour includes 1kg, 2kg, 5kg, 10kg, 20kg, 25kg, 50kg, etc. If more than 5kg per bag, it usually adopts woven bag packaging by flour filling and sealing equipment. It adopts a quantitative weighing system, precisely and accurately. For woven bags, the flour filling machine usually matches a sewing machine to seal the mouth of packaging bags. There is a conveyor belt on the bottom of the equipment to help the operator transport bag to seal.
