Abstract: A machine in which a bagged product is conveyed to a station where the open end of the bag is tied with a wire reinforced plastic tape ribbon tie. The tying station comprises a wire gripper and cutter, an arcuate needle carrying a tie-supporting roller movable from an initial position in which a length of tie is held in the path of the bag end to a second position with the length of tie looped around the bag end, means for gathering the bag end in a compact neck, and a horizontally disposed hooked twister spaced below the gripper and cutter and rotating about a vertical axis for twisting the loop of tie about the gathered neck of the bag, and the improvement comprises lowering the gripper and cutter to a position in which its lower surface is at substantially the same level as the upper surface of the twister hook.
