Abstract: A bag placer which automatically takes a bag from a stack, opens and shapes the bag and places such bag on a spout so that compressed material, such as insulation, glass wool and the like, can be rammed into the bag through the spout. The bag placer is particularly suited for plastic bags which are difficult to handle and open and place on a spout.

Abstract: A bag hanger which pulls the upper portion of the bottom bag downwardly from a stack of bags in a magazine disposed at an angle to a generally horizontal position, opens the upper end of said bag, grips the side edges of the bag, completely removes the bag from the magazine, and transports the empty opened bag to a vertical position on a filling spout of a bagging machine. The stacked bags in the magazine are draped in their central area over a bag support roll shaft extending across the magazine.
