Why Vistasort

Packaging and Palletizing From the Team That Builds Your Plant

Vistasort has supplied seed and grain processing equipment from Saskatoon since 1986. Because we also design and build complete plants, your packaging and palletizing equipment is laid out with your cleaning line, VistaSort optical color sorters, seed treating and conveyance, not bolted on at the end.

Automate one stage at a time or the whole end of the line. The same team specifies, installs, trains your operators and stocks the parts afterwards.

  • Line assessment: product, bag type, fill weight and bags per hour
  • System design and equipment selection across every brand
  • Installation, commissioning and operator training across Canada
  • Parts and service from Saskatoon for the life of the line

Common Questions

Packaging and Palletizing Equipment FAQ

Vistasort supplies the full end of a seed, grain or food plant: weighing and filling for small bags, 20 to 110 lb bags, valve bags and bulk bags; automatic bag placers and form fill seal baggers; bag sewing and bag sealing; robotic and conventional palletizers; and stretch wrappers. Brands include nVenia (Hamer, Fischbein and Ohlson), Fuji Robotics, Wulftec, Magnum Systems, Taylor, JEM and KSi, with more than 65 models listed across our packaging pages.
A gross weigh scale weighs the product in the bag while it fills, so the bag hangs on the scale. A net weigh scale weighs the product in a hopper first and then drops the measured charge into the bag, which usually allows faster bag rates on free-flowing products. Both are available for 20 to 110 lb open-mouth bags.
Small bags from a few ounces to 20 lb use net weigh scales, multi-head or linear weighers. Bags from 20 to 110 lb use gross or net weigh bagging scales. Bulk bags, totes and super sacks from 500 to 2,500 lb use bulk bag fillers such as the Magnum IBC 3000 or KSi BulkPack. Powders and cement-style products often go into valve bags with an auger or air packer.
Sewing closes the bag with a chain stitch, with or without reinforcing tape, and is standard for woven polypropylene and multi-wall paper bags in seed, grain and feed. Sealing closes the bag with heat, hot air or adhesive and is standard for poly, laminate and foil-lined bags, and for pinch-style paper bags. The bag material usually decides it.
A robotic palletizer, like the Fuji EC series, uses a programmable arm and handles several bag sizes, boxes and pallet patterns with quick changeover. A conventional palletizer forms layers mechanically and is typically faster for a single product running at high speed. Fuji built the first robotic palletizer in 1982.
A turntable wrapper spins the pallet while the film carriage moves up and down. A rotary arm wrapper keeps the pallet still and moves the film around it, which suits heavy or unstable loads and conveyorized lines. Wulftec offers both in semi-automatic and fully automatic versions.
Yes. Most operations start with the stage that costs the most labour, often palletizing or bag closing, and add filling and wrapping later. The equipment is modular, so Vistasort can plan a line that grows with your throughput.
Yes. Vistasort specifies, supplies, installs and commissions packaging and palletizing equipment across Canada from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, with operator training, parts and service from the same team.
Yes. Vistasort designs complete seed and grain plants, so bagging, closing, palletizing and wrapping can be laid out together with cleaning, VistaSort optical color sorting, seed treating and conveyance.
