Abstract
A bag-hanging machine including mechanism for opening a bag on a stack of lay-flat bags supported on a tiltable support table, and transfer arms for withdrawing the opened bag and suspending the latter. A bag-filling machine includes a hopper spout for receiving the bag from the transfer arms and filling the bag with a bulk material. The filled bag has its mouth portion shaped and closed by pivotable members mounted on the hopper spout, and is then deposited on a conveyor for transport to a further bag processing station. The conveyor includes movable bag guides thereon for supporting the bag and preventing it from falling off.
