Sandbagger Machine

Patented Automated Sandbagging System

Our electric over hydraulic sandbag filling system is designed to be mounted rapidly utilizing a mounting pin and spring clip system for the mechanical portion, quick disconnect as well as swivel hose assemblies for the hydraulic portion and sealed connectors for the electrical portion. The system, which requires a hydraulic system with a minimum flow of eight gallons per minute at 1,500 p.s.i., has the capability of filling a minimum of 1,200 sandbags per hour.

The system’s fullwidth tailgate hopper body is constructed of 7 gauge steel. The end plate assemblies are produced from ¼” minimum wall steel, and all major joints are continuous welded except where flexural movement is required… here the joints are skip welded. An adjustable side hopper feed gate with flexible seal is installed at each end of the machine to control flow of sand. The door can be raised and lowered via a lockable rack and pinion gear system, and adjusted via a receptor female box with a crank handle. Flexible wiper belting seals consisting of ¼” minimum thickness re-enforced rubber are included on both sides of the conveyor belting. The wiper seals deflect the material to the belting and are adjustable for wear purposes. A re-enforced rubber deflection shield is affixed to the tailgate body to disperse the sand uniformly to the hopper when the dump body is raised to re-fill the sandbag hopper.

The dual systems for two bag fill locations at the same time consists of belting with 3/8″ x 1 ¼” cross bar supports and heavy duty hot asphalt type reinforced rubber. Belt direction is reversible with hydraulic hose reversal. Feed gates for flow variance are rack and pinion adjustable for right and left hand sides with gate openings of 16 ¼” x 13″. Drive and idler sprockets consist of six (6) tooth flame cut keyed and timed with 1 ½” shafts and roller bearings with greaseable linkage. Drive chain and sprockets do not require lubrication. Belt tension is adjustable via hexagon threaded adjustment toward right and left hand sides of the machine.

The undercarriage sector is attached by means of adjustable mounting brackets, mounting pins and spring loaded key clips. The main tailgate conveyor housing is attached to the rear of the truck body by ½” plate mounting brackets, mounting pins with spacer washers and hexagon head cap screws, lock washers and nuts.

The hopper chute assembly is constructed of high density rotationally molded polyethylene. The material is ultra violet stabilized, smooth in surface texture with uniform wall density and white in color. The minimum wall thickness is 5/16″ with a minimum yield of 5,000 p.s.i. The flanged lip portion is bolted to a flanged caniage section by means of stainless steel hex head cap screws, washers and nuts. The bolts are easily loosened to slide the chute in and out for transportation purposes. Attached to the bottom section of the chute with an adjustable stainless steel worm gear clamp, an electric micro switch will control the hydraulic motors that operate the conveyor belts.

The conveyor system chive consists of dual manifold valving with dual counter rotational electrically actuated hydraulic motors. Simple on-off twelve volt sealed switch connections allow the operation of the motors independently or simultaneously thus deleting the need for additional plumbing and electrical circuitry. Each of the two hydraulic motors are rated at three gallons per minute at 1,500 pounds per square inch (p.s.i.) pressure. The hydraulic fluid not being used in the system is returned to the hydraulic reservoir tank.
