Flexicon Multi-Purpose Filler for dispensing bulk solid materials

Flexicon’s Multi-Purpose Filler dispenses bulk solid materials into boxes, drums and bulk bags by weight. Its fill head seals dust-tight against the inlet spout of bulk bags or connects to transition adapters that seal against open boxes or drums.

It is mounted on load cells tied into a PLC that controls upstream devices to fill containers at high- and then trickle-feed rates to maximise the number of containers filled per hour while maintaining accuracy. An automated vibratory system raises and vibrates the container deck to deaerate and densify material. The filler’s low-profile configuration also allows filled containers to be removed with a pallet jack.

A manual fill-head height adjustment accommodates all popular bag sizes, while pneumatically retractable bag hooks, an inflatable connector to seal the bag inlet spout and a feed chute outlet port allow dust-free air displacement during filling.

Quick-action clamps connect the transition hood to a fill head to fill boxes from 915 to 1220 mm on a side and 990 to 1117 mm overall height.

For 114 to 208 L drums, a pneumatically actuated telescoping drum-filling adapter swivels inward for connection to the fill head using quick-action clamps, after which an inlet plate is sealed against the rim of the drum.

Manual push-button or electrical contact closure initiate filling cycles, after which filling, deaeration and any disconnection of the equipment from the container inlet are automatic.

The filler is constructed of carbon steel or stainless steel finished to industrial, food, dairy or pharmaceutical standards, and is offered with a mechanical or pneumatic conveyor delivery system integrated with the user’s upstream process equipment or other material source.
