The Model C1-2 Spirofil Bulk Bag Filler (photo) includes a load cell mounted weigh platform that can be NTEP approved if the contents of the filled bags are for re-sale by weight. The bulk bag fillers are designed to ensure bags are filled in a dust-free manner, without spillage and to the desired weight. Filling rates of up to 20 bags/h are possible with integral roller conveyors and other options that allow further automation of the system. The C1-2 Model Spirofil offers the option of automatic operation of the bag hook latches, automatic deflation of the neck seal and automatic operation of powered rollers. This means that upon reaching the targeted weight, other than for the manual removal of the bag neck from the fill head, the bag is automatically removed from the filler and placed on an accumulating conveyor. — Spiroflow Systems, Inc., Charlotte, N.C.
