TERM DEFINITION
AC Alternating
Current
Bag clamp arms
Actuated by two pneumatic cylinders, these arms press the bag outward against two rubberized pads
that are attached to the spout. When applied, the two bag clamp arms work with the bag clamp pads
to hold the bag in place while it is being filled.
Bag clamp pads
A set of two rubber pads are mounted to the bottom of the spout. When the bag clamp arms are
actuated, two bag clamp pads work with the bag clamp arms to hold the bag in place while it is being
filled.
Bag position switch Mounted on the bottom of the spout, this switch will prevent the fill cycle from starting if a bag is not
in place.
Bagging cycle
A series of functions that describe the packaging process, from beginning to end, for one package of
product.
Component
An item of hardware as commonly supplied complete by manufacturers.
Cubic Feet/Minute
(CFM)
A unit of measure that is used to describe the amount of compressed air that is used by a machine.
DC Direct
Current
De-energize
To deprive an electro-receptive device of its operating current.
Dribble gate
A metal gate that is used to restrict the flow of product. The gate is actuated by a pneumatic cylinder.
When the weight of the package reaches the dribble weight, the cylinder extends, moving the gate to
partially obstruct the flow of product.
ESD Electrostatic
Discharge
Ground
Ground (Electrical). A conducting connection, whether intentional or accidental, between an
electrical circuit or equipment and the earth, or some other conducting body at a reference potential.
kg Kilogram
lb or lbs
Pound or pounds
Load cell
An electronic device that is used to monitor the weight of the product that is being packaged.
MAC valve
A device that combines an electric solenoid and a pneumatic valve. Voltage is applied or removed
from the solenoid to cause the pneumatic valve to move. Used to control the pneumatic cylinders.
Product
Refers to the material that is being packaged by the machine.
Shut off gate
A hinged metal gate that is actuated by a pneumatic cylinder to start and stop the fill cycle. The shut
off gate is opened when a bag is in place and the operator trips the lever on the start switch. The gate
is closed according to the settings made by the operator in the control panel.
Spout
A component whose primary function is to guide the product from the feed mechanism into the
package. The spout also serves as the mounting point for several other components.
Start switch
An electronic switch that is mounted toward the bottom of the spout. The switch has a wire bale that
is attached to the rotary switch. When the operator trips the switch, the fill cycle starts.
Surge
A sudden rise of current or voltage.
Surge Hopper
A reservoir where product is stored for packaging.
