A multi-purpose filler introduced by Flexicon Europe, Herne, UK, is capable of dispensing bulk solid materials into boxes, drums and bulk bags, by weight. The unit features a fill head that seals dust-tight against the inlet spout of bulk bags, or connects to transition adapters that seal against open boxes or drums. The unit is mounted on load cells tied into a PLC that controls upstream devices to fill containers at high rate, and then at dribble-feed rate to maximise the number of containers filled per hour, while still achieving required accuracies. An automated vibratory system raises and vibrates the container deck to deaerate and densify material. The low-profile configuration of the filler also allows removal of filled containers using a pallet jack, eliminating the need for a lift-truck.
Features specifically designed for bulk bag filling include manual fill head height adjustment to accommodate all popular bag sizes, pneumatically retractable bag hooks, an inflatable connector to seal the bag inlet spout and a feed chute outlet port for dustfree air displacement during filling. www.flexicon.co.uk
