Flexicon bulk bag filler with metal detection

Flexicon’s Bulk Bag Filler is a stainless steel, sanitary filler that detects and separates metal as it fills.

The filler frame is a twin-centrepost design that maximises strength and improves accessibility to bag hooks. It is equipped with an integral metal detector/separator that 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 incorporates: fill head height adjustment to accept all popular bag sizes; an inflatable cuff forming a seal to the bag inlet spout; a blower to remove bag creases; load cells for filling by weight; a vent port for dust-free air displacement during filling; pneumatically retractable bag hooks; and an automated vibratory deaeration/densification system to maximise capacity and stabilise the bag for storage and shipment.

It is constructed of 316 stainless steel and configured with full-length forklifting tubes, allowing it to be moved throughout the plant. It can be integrated with optional conveyor feed systems, existing plant conveyors or overhead storage vessels.
