ABSTRACT:
A bagging system that facilitates the loading of objects into a container, includes a conveyor, hopper elements, a bagging element, and a controller. The conveyor transports the objects to be loaded into the container. The hopper elements permit objects from the conveyor to be loaded into the container in a first state and prevent objects from being loaded into the container in a second state. The bagging element holds the container to be filled with the objects from the conveyor. The bagging element includes a foot element that moveably supports the container at a number of different positions. The controller connects to the conveyor, the hopper elements, and the bagging element to control their operation. The controller initially places the foot element at an uppermost position and the hopper elements in the first state, counts the objects as the objects are loaded into the container, places the hopper elements in the second state after a predetermined number of objects have been loaded into the container, incrementally lowers the foot element as a function of the number or volume of the objects loaded into the container, and notifies an operator that the container is full when the container is filled with objects to at least a predetermined weight.
