The OMB Net Weigher Has The Lowest ‘Cost Of Ownership’ Because It Will Provide Year Round, Low Maintenance, High Throughput, Precise Filling Of Open Mouth Bags. The OMB Net Weigher Provides The Most Accurate Way Of Filling Free Flowing Products Because Of The Sensitive Electronic Load Cells & Intuitive Control System.

Once your product fills the sack it’s important the consumer receives the correct amount. The manufacturer should make sure they’re working between their Economic (Delivering too Much) and Legal Limits (being underweight), so your products must be weighed.

Typically your speed of your manufacturing process is determined by the packaging process (filling, weighing, sealing & palletising). With costs of labour being so high and the margins typically being lower on most products it is necessary to be able to package your products into the bags as fast as possible without double or triple handling the bags. To do this we suggest using the OMB Net Weigher with our large range of attachments to suit your particular product.

The OMB Net Weigher, also known as Open-Mouth Bagging system can form part of an automated packaging system with further integration of other Bradwood Packaging machinery. The OMB Net Weigher is an ideal solution for filling semi/free flowing powder & granules.

Net Weigher Clamping Options

Another point of difference between our packers and our competitors is our awareness and solution to the risk of operators getting there fingers caught in the clamps. To this end we feature soft close technology and deep rubber profiles on our clamp closing systems. The OMB packer provides 2 different clamping options.

Duckbill Style

• Duckbill style bag clamps provides the fastest way of putting bags onto the net bagger and is the preferred choice if you want to automate the bag placing with one of Bradwood Packaging’s ASP Automatic Sack Placers.
• Duckbill Jaws may be fitted with “Soft Close” functionally to protect operators fingers, from getting caught in the jaws.
• Typically used dust controlled, or non dusty products.

Dust Tight Clamps

• Dust Tight Clamps extend over the entire width of the bag to form a dust tight seal.
• The dust tight clamps use water jet cut rubber jaws to provide a safety cushion in case the operators fingers get caught between the clamps. They may be fitted with “Soft Close” functionally to further protect the operators fingers.

“Soft Close”

• “Soft Close” is a proprietary low pressure clamp closing system designed and manufactured by Bradwood Packaging.
•  “Soft Close” allows operators to remove their hands without being damaged during bag placements.
• All timing and pressures are fully adjustable.
