Abstract
A sideweld bag making machine utilizing a rotary transfer device and wicket conveyer is equipped with a movable bag stacking guide that is used to align bags as they are stacked on the wicket conveyer. The bag stacking guide, which is mounted on the wicket conveyer, has a first raised position for accumulating bags as they are made, and a second lowered positioned to free stack bags for wicket conveyer indexing. The stacking guide is particularly useful for bags having lengths substantially greater than their width.
