This may include blending equipment, feed mechanisms, bag placers bag sealers and palletisers. All these must work in close harmony and any incompatibility in equipment will inevitably lead to premature breakdowns or bottlenecks with the resulting frustration and loss of production. Remember that it doesn't take long for things to get out of hand especially when bags are being filled at the rate of one every two or three seconds! It is therefore vital to establish who is responsible for the management of the overall project before work commences.
