The Formost Fuji Bagel System features highly efficient automation for bagging bagels. The infeed system consists of a metering conveyor, shaker table, laning conveyor, grouper, drop chute, and rotary indexer. The unit deposits counted and stacked bagels into a Formost bagger bucket infeed conveyor, with specially designed paddles that move the product into the bags with a gentle hand-like motion. The innovative bag opening system provides for greater tolerance of irregularities.
