ABSTRACT:
An improved agricultural feed bagging machine for loading feedstock into expandable storage bags. The bagging machine has a double-tapered tunnel for deploying a folded bag, stretching the bag and then releasing the stretched bag about feed that is simultaneously being compacted and extruded within the tunnel towards and out an open end of the tunnel. The machine also includes a hopper disposed adjacent the tunnel forward end and communicating with the tunnel through a feed opening oriented in a wall defining the forward end of the tunnel. The machine also includes a rotor element for propelling feed stock from the hopper though the feed opening into the tunnel and a secured bag, the rotor element having a rotor rotatable about a horizontal axis. The present invention also provides an improved method for loading agricultural feed stock into a horizontally deployed bag including the steps of: mounting the bag in a folded condition around a forward end of a tunnel; deploying the bag from the forward end of the tunnel towards a rearward end of the tunnel; stretching the bag circumferentially with the tunnel between the forward and rearward ends, and then reducing in circumference the bag; compacting feed, from the tunnel forward end, into the tunnel between the forward and rearward ends, and then reducing in circumference the feed as the feed passes towards the rearward end of the tunnel; and allowing the feed to extrude from the rearward end of the tunnel into the bag.
