Is there an easy way to fill nets off a firewood processor just wondered what you chaps did? cheers jim

I would like to a see a setup that only requires a person to slip new bags on, and take filled bags off, but i doubt this is possible (yet). In order to get neatly stacked bags I assume a bagging tray still has to be filled up and bagged by hand.

 

One nice setup I saw on my travels, was processor conveyor into an old 10x6 tipper, (which was partially tipped to create an angle). Gravity fed the logs to the bottom of the tipped trailer, where two young lads work at waist height transferring to (x2) tray setups. great outputs per hour.

I went to see a few large companies a few years ago and at the end of the day they found the most effective way was east europeans and no gadgets just a frame to hold the bags open and stuff them in by hand.

Hi guy's I have been trying to build my own solution to this problem but no joy yet what size of bags do you use when using the net filling tray ?

Best method I've seen is to hook the top loops of m3 bags in a forklift, forks at just less than a metre. Logs just fall in. Reverse and stack. Drive under the conveyor end and repeat.
