Concetti cement bagging machines, weighing systems and palletizers
At Concetti, we specialize in innovative cement bagging solutions tailored for high performance and precision. Our NET/CC weighing systems ensure accurate product measurement, while our Continua Six Stations machine deliver unmatched speed and reliability. To complete the process, our high-level palletizers provide efficient stacking, guaranteeing stability and safety in transport. Discover how our integrated equipment streamlines your cement packaging operations from start to finish.
Weighing the cement products
Cement products, typically a blend of cement, small stones, gravel, and sand, are precisely dosed using our robust NET/CC weighing system. The material is fed through one or two high-thickness screw feeders, each equipped with an anti-abrasive lining to ensure long-lasting durability and optimal efficiency. Once weighed, the product is discharged into the bagging spout of the FFS Continua, ensuring a seamless transition in the packaging process.

The Cement Bag Filling FFS Continua Six Stations Technology
Concetti harnessed the finest technology for engineering the FFS Continua Six Stations. Designed to respond to the demands of the building sector, this piece of equipment helps manage, fill, and seal the product in bags made from tubular reels of polyethylene, which is a plastic polymer renowned for its durability and the high protection level of the packaged material.
Thanks to its advanced technology, the FFS Continua Six Stations can easily handle non-free flowing products, such as cement and Concrete Mix. The system components are all made in stainless steel, which ensures the durability of the structure as well as preventing contamination during packaging operations. Additionally, Concetti has integrated an air cleaning system to protect the product particles by constantly controlling the quality of the seal.
In terms of productivity, this cement bagging machine is capable of filling up to 550 bags per hour (concrete mix up 800 bags/hour) by incorporating advanced features to optimize the process. Deaeration probes efficiently reduce the volume of the material before bagging, while compacting and adjusting the product within the bag for smaller bags without waste.
Another standout feature of the cement filling machine is its remarkable precision. In fact, choosing the Concetti technology, you will be sure to select accurate weight measurements and consistency in bagging operations.

How to Maintain a Cement Bagging Plant
Proper maintenance of a building material packaging solutions is crucial to ensuring efficient, long-term operation. Regular checks on the cement bagging machines help prevent downtime and prolong the lifespan of your equipment. Key components, like the screw feeders and weighing systems, should be inspected for wear and tear, especially in high-demand operations.
Cleaning and servicing the cement filling machines is made easy with Concetti’s dedicated on-site support available in the USA. Our team is always ready to provide rapid maintenance and resolve any malfunctions, ensuring your cement bagging machines are calibrated for maximum accuracy and speed. In addition, we offer remote assistance to minimize downtime and keep your cement bag packing machines running smoothly. Whether in person or remotely, Concetti is committed to maintaining your plant’s productivity and ensuring a seamless packaging process.
The Peculiarities of Cement as an Industrial Material
Cement is a fundamental material for the construction industry due to its unique composition and properties. Made of limestone and clay, its chemical composition undergoes a transformation through heating, resulting in a fine powder that forms an incredible paste capable of binding materials together.
However, cement can be a very difficult material to work with, as premature exposure to water can trigger the hydration process and compromise the final product. For this reason, cement bag filling machines are extremely useful for protecting it from moisture and other environmental factors that can undermine the quality of the cement.
How To Properly Deal With Cement in Technical Applications
Cement and Concrete Mix require meticulous attention when it comes to weighing and filling operations, as even small discrepancies can lead to significant issues in terms of performance and structural integrity.
This is why cement bag filling machine can revolutionize these processes. These pieces of equipment are designed for consistently bagging across batches, preventing spillage and waste that might occur in manual operations. Another aspect that needs to be considered is the fact that cement must have a limited exposure to air that can compromise the quality of the material and its texture.
Choosing Concetti’s cement bag filling machines, you will rely on a robust and durable structure which guarantees the utmost operational efficiency. Automation is key for enhancing your productivity and limiting human interaction with components and substances that could be harmful for operators, increasing the welfare of your plant.

How Cement Palletization Is Evolving
As palletization is evolving, cement bag filling machine technology is also advancing. New techniques and technologies focuses on efficiency, safety and sustainability, giving another direction to several industrial sectors.
Automation and robotics become an integral part of smart control systems that enable:
- precise bag placement
- space optimization
- a reduction in transportation damages
- energy savings
- recycling.
All these measures contribute in streamlining operations and align business goals to environmental sustainability, boasting company’s commitment to greener practices.
Modern cement filling machines by Concetti are engineered with integrated palletizing functions which leads to more precise stacking patterns in cement bagging to obtain more manageable, and performing solutions.
High-level cement palletizer
Filled bags, ranging from 22 to 88 lb, are transported to the palletizer and processed along the way using Concetti’s proprietary vibration devices and presses. For this product range, the ideal choice is a high-level palletizer equipped with a press unit and a bag orientation device.
TECHNICAL DATA
| Maximum speed | up to 2,700 b/h, depending on the number of bags per layer |
| Workable bag weights | up to 50 kg |
| Minimum pallet dimensions | 800 x 1200 mm |
| Maximum pallet dimensions | 1100 x 1300 mm |
| Maximum palletized load height | 2000 mm, including pallet height |
| Maximum full pallet weight | 2000 kg |
| Operating system | PLC |
| Power supply | 380 V- 50 Hz |
Options for Concetti high-level palletizers
- Teflon finish of the trapdoors for working with plastic bags.
