An ultra-high capacity bag-filling system
A new sanitary bulk-bag filling system (photo) features dual Swing-Down fillers fed by high-capacity weigh hoppers, achieving fill rates of up to 40 bulk bags per hour. The patented filler design simultaneously lowers and pivots each fill head into a vertically oriented position that places the inflatable spout connection collar, inflator button, and four bag-loop latches within reach of an operator standing on the plant floor. This significantly increases the safety and speed of connecting bulk bags, because the operator can connect each bag loop and the bag spout without having to stand on a ladder or reach over equipment to secure the bag. The all-stainless-steel system is finished to sanitary standards and equipped with a NEMA 4X controls enclosure, allowing wash-down. — Flexicon Corp., Bethlehem, Pa.
