Mobile bulk bag filling system

The latest mobile bulk bag filling system from Flexicon features an integral metal detector/separator and a tilt-down conveyor/feeder for dust-free filling at multiple locations.

The system detects metal in the free-fall stream of material entering the filler and then ejects it through a chute that discharges into a removable drum at the rear of the unit.

The filler is also equipped with fill head height adjustment to accommodate all popular bag sizes; an inflatable cuff to seal the bag inlet spout; a blower to remove bag creases prior to filling; load cells for filling by weight; a vent port for dust-free air displacement during filling; pneumatically retractable bag hooks; and an automated vibratory densification/deaeration system to maximise capacity and stabilise the bag for storage or shipment.

The first bulk bag filler to receive USDA acceptance, it is constructed of 316 stainless steel, finished to sanitary standards and configured with full-length forklifting tubes allowing it to be moved throughout the plant.

The conveyor’s inlet hopper includes an air displacement vent with cartridge filter that is equipped with a reverse pulse cleaning system that dislodges accumulated dust with short bursts of compressed air, returning the dust to the hopper on a timed cycle, maintaining operating efficiency.

The programmable controls are housed in a stainless steel NEMA 4X enclosure with touch screen that graphically displays filling functions.
