Jacky® Bin Weigh Station - Custom made bagging station
At Orion Australia, we thrive on challenges and finding the right solutions for our customers.
When clients approach us with their needs, we eagerly devise innovative ideas and bring their visions to life. This article explains how we transformed one customer’s requirements into a highly efficient solution, minimising manual labour and maximising productivity.
Our custom-made station comprises of a two-tonne bulk capacity hopper discharging into a smaller hopper equipped with load cells. Through precise weight presetting, the bulk hopper precisely dispenses the required amount into the receiving hopper.
Bags can then be quickly and simply filled, stitched, and packed by the operator.
Key Features:
The Controller

Air Solenoid
Positioned at the rear of the control box, with supply and return lines connected to the actuator unit on the bulk hopper.
Quick-Connect Couplings
Facilitating easy disconnection of the air hoses that run to the actuator on the bulk discharge hopper, allowing swift removal of the bulk hopper for refilling.
Four Load Cells Wired to the Controller
The receiving hopper is mounted on load cells wired directly to the controller, ensuring precise and consistent weigh-out results with each operation.
Manually Operated Hatch Assembly
Crafted from stainless steel and plastic, the hatch assembly on the receiving hopper guarantees longevity and trouble-free service.
