The volunteers who struggle to protect flood-prone locations with sandbags in advance of severe weather systems sometimes face an uphill battle. They may find themselves racing against the clock to fill and deploy as many sandbags as possible. The sand helps control cresting waterways and eroding shorelines by preventing water from flowing quickly through populated areas. This effort often helps flood victims obtain a little more time to escape from a flooding area. Yet it may require extensive manpower. Simply shoveling loose dirt and sand into bags quickly becomes a tiring process. It proves physically arduous. Volunteer crews performing this stressful task in the wake of an approaching storm system may find themselves challenged to keep pace with the demand for sandbags.

Fortunately, today crews performing this type of project rely upon automatic sandbag filling machines like the Megga Bagger to generate a filled bag of sand every three seconds. The machine will dispense sand (or wet sand) evenly and reliably. Operators sometimes elect to manually control the speed. Or they may work in shifts to supply fresh bags for the machine’s use at a controlled, designated automatic rate of speed. The Megga Bagger alleviates backbreaking labor by filling sandbags dependably. It eliminates the need to expend a lot of energy shoveling sand at the work site.

How does a Megga Bagger function? This ingenious electronically powered sandbag filling device accepts large loads of sand into its gigantic metal hopper from a backhoe or a bulldozer. It serves as a fully automatic sandbag filling machine. A vibrator within the hopper maintains the aggregate in a loose condition while the machinery fills multiple sandbags in succession. Operators designate both the quantity per bag and the speed of flow. The manufacturer of this proprietary sandbag filling device uses components such as a pneumatically controlled gate, a compressor, and an Inverter Generator to expedite the smooth production of sandbags. By relying on reputable suppliers to provide the individual components within the assembly, the company has succeeded in producing an acclaimed tool for use in floodwater control and management operations. It manufactures every unit by hand at its production facilities in the State of Washington. Customers select the model of Megga Bagger best suited for their specific needs. Different versions of the sandbag filler prepare between 1,000 and 1,400 bags per hour on average.
As a fully portable sandbag filling machine, the Megga Bagger offers some key advantages for use in flood plains. First, it will function correctly as sandbagging equipment even during rainy, wet weather. The manufacturer took steps to include protective features which enable operators to continue using the electric sandbag filling machine even under adverse conditions. (Efforts to protect homes and businesses against rising flood waters frequently occur during rainstorms.) Second, the Megga Bagger will fill sandbags faster than competing technology. Although this portable sandbagging machine does require human supervision, it can generate completed sandbags quickly and cost-effectively. The Mega Bagger serves as powerful sandbag filling equipment in part because it requires less manpower to operate than manual methods. Volunteers using this automatic sandbag filling machine expend their time more productively. A supervisor may assign workers to transport and place sandbags in high risk locations instead of asking them to expend long periods of time engaging in laborious sand digging. By permitting crews to prepare more efficiently to counter the effects of floods, the Megga Bagger provides a valuable addition to civil defense projects!
Numerous municipalities and flood control districts today have discovered benefits in utilizing the Megga Bagger as a convenient sandbag filling machine.

The couple formed a company to produce and market this useful sandbag filler. She indicated Mr. Malone devoted extensive effort to perfecting the safety and utility of his landmark product. Now available with one or two hoppers, as sandbag filling equipment the Megga Bagger possesses significant advantages. It helps streamline the process of preparing sandbags for a variety of uses. From safeguarding eroding shorelines along the Mississippi to use in military foxholes, the sandbags generated by this sandbagging equipment find numerous applications in the modern world.

The Megga Bagger belongs on the short list for essential construction equipment. Well-manufactured, easily relocated, and capable of generating bags of aggregate materials rapidly, it enhances building projects for enterprises of all sizes.
