Build a Faster, More Consistent Automated Bagging Process Around the SEVERN-DT

Severn Packaging supplies four dedicated automation systems for the SEVERN-DT tabletop bagging machine. Count hand-loaded parts with the SEVERN-CC, orient and feed components automatically with the SEVERN-BF, dispense products to a target weight with the SEVERN-WS, or verify completed packs with the SEVERN-CW. Each system is engineered around the product, target pack quantity, required throughput and available floor space.

Why Automate Product Feeding and Pack Verification?

Remove Manual Counting Bottlenecks — Controlled indexing, counting and discharge allow operators to load product efficiently without repeatedly counting every finished pack by hand.

Improve Pack Consistency — Product sensors, weighing controls and final checkweighing help reduce short packs, overfills and avoidable rework.

Increase Useful Output — Matching the infeed to the SEVERN-DT helps the bagger operate more consistently instead of waiting for manually presented products.

Automate at the Right Level — Choose a hand-loaded counting conveyor, a fully automatic feeder, a weighing system or a complete line with final pack verification.

The four configurations below show counting, automated feeding, weighing and final pack-verification concepts designed around the SEVERN-DT bagging platform.

Key Features

One Bagger, Four Routes to Automation

The SEVERN-DT provides the signalling capability needed to coordinate product release, bag presentation, sealing and downstream verification.

  • SEVERN-CC Counting Conveyor — Flighted conveyor for hand-loaded parts, kits and sub-assemblies
  • SEVERN-BF Automatic Bowl Feeder — Automatically sorts, orients and presents suitable components
  • SEVERN-WS Weigh Scale — Dispenses product to a programmed target weight
  • SEVERN-CW Checkweigher — Verifies completed packs and identifies out-of-tolerance results
  • Dedicated signalling between the infeed, SEVERN-DT and downstream equipment
  • Application trials used to confirm product behaviour and achievable throughput
  • HMI controls and stored settings available according to configuration
  • Sensors monitor product movement, discharge and bagging sequence
  • Optional guarding, hoppers, chutes, accumulation and reject handling
  • Installation, commissioning, operator training and ongoing support from Severn Packaging

Technical Specifications

Current working specifications. Final requirements will be confirmed against the selected machine configuration.

For Components, Fixings, Kits, Granular Products and Verified Packs

These systems suit manufacturing, distribution, fulfilment and contract-packing operations where manual counting, feeding or checking limits the output of the SEVERN-DT.

Choose the Right SEVERN-DT Automation System

The four systems solve different stages of the packing process. They can operate individually or be combined into an application-specific automated cell.

  • SEVERN-CC Counting Conveyor — A height-adjustable flighted conveyor for hand-loaded parts, mixed kits and sub-assemblies. The current platform offers manual, bagger-controlled and sensor-controlled modes, with manufacturer-rated performance of up to 50 batches per minute where the product and loading method allow.
  • SEVERN-BF Automatic Bowl Feeder — A product-specific vibratory feeding system that sorts and orients suitable components before controlled discharge to the SEVERN-DT. Bowl tooling, tracks, sensors and accumulation are engineered around sample products.
  • SEVERN-WS Weigh Scale — Uses a programmed target weight to dispense product into each presented bag. Best suited to hardware, granular materials and applications where weight control is more practical than individual counting.
  • SEVERN-CW Checkweigher — Positioned after bag sealing to verify finished pack weight. Out-of-tolerance packs can be flagged or diverted using an application-specific reject arrangement.
  • Combined Automation Cell — Add guarding, conveyors, hoppers, chutes, printing or labelling and line controls to create a coordinated bagging cell around the SEVERN-DT.
