Abstract
Disclosed herein is a bag filling apparatus for use by a person to fill bags of a flowable material, including a hand operation control means and a directing means including a first part for contact with the flowable material in the location, able to direct and move the flowable material towards a second part. In use the person can move the first part of the directing means into contract with the flowable material by moving by hand the machine into contact, and the directing means moves the flowable material from the location towards a location where a bag may be filled. In addition, variants thereon and methods of use for the bag filling apparatus are disclosed.
Claims8
A container filling machine for use by a person to fill bags of a flowable material, the container filling machine comprising:
- a hand control;
- and
- a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt being a polyurethane conveyor belt having a plurality of material capturing pockets cast into the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt including a first part for contact with a flowable material located in a first location and configured to capture the flowable material in at least one of the plurality of material capturing pockets and direct and move the flowable material towards a second part located at a top of the conveyor belt;
- wherein, a person can move the first part of the conveyor belt into contact with the flowable material by moving by hand the container filling machine into contact, and the conveyor belt moves the flowable material from the first location towards a second location where a container is filled, and wherein the flowable material is sand.
A bag filling machine for use by a person to fill bags of a flowable material, the bag filling machine comprising:
- a hand control, to operate the bag filling machine on or off, including operating wheels or caterpillar tracks powered by a motor to move the bag filling machine forward or back on control;
- and
- a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt being a polyurethane conveyor belt having a plurality of material capturing pockets cast into the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt controlled by the hand control to cause the conveyor belt to run, and the conveyor belt including a first part for contacting the plurality of material capturing pockets with a flowable material in a first location, and configured to capture the material in the plurality of material capturing pockets and direct and move the flowable material upwards towards a bagging area in a second part of the conveyor where the flowable material can fall under gravity into a bag below;
- wherein, a person can move the first part of the conveyor belt into contact with the flowable material by moving by hand the bag filling machine into contact, and the conveyor belt moves the flowable material from the first location towards the second location where the bag may be filled and removed, and wherein the flowable material is sand.
