Twin-Centerpost Bulk Bag Filler

A Bulk Bag Filler from Flexicon Corporation features a twin-centerpost to maximize strength and improve accessibility to bag hooks while simplifying construction and reducing cost. The filler is available with primary bag filling components for low cost, low volume filling, and with performance enhancements including a material delivery system for high volume filling applications.

The filler is equipped as standard with: manual fill head height adjustment to accommodate all popular bag sizes; pneumatically retractable bag hooks; inflatable connector to seal the bag inlet spout; and feed chute outlet port for dust-free air displacement during filling.

Performance can be enhanced by adding: powered fill head height adjustment; inflator to expand the bag prior to filling; automated vibratory densification/deaeration system to stabilize the bag; and powered or gravity roller conveyor.

The filler is also offered with Flexicon's own flexible screw conveyor delivery system integrated with the user's upstream process equipment or other material source. The conveyor system reportedly delivers a full range of free- and non-free-flowing materials and blended products with the consistency and capacity needed for rapid bag filling, and the steady dribble-feed rates required for accurate weighments.

Two configurations are offered: with filler mounted on load cells to measure weight gain of the entire bulk bag filler; and with weigh hoppers suspended above the filler, allowing higher filling rates through simultaneous recharging of the hopper and replacement of the bag.

All system components are available constructed to industrial and sanitary standards.
