Tetra Pak Hygienic Bulk Bag Filler

The Hygienic Bulk Bag Filler by Tetra Pak was designed for accurate sanitary filling with a typical rate of up to eight bulk bags per hour. The USDA-compliant filler is designed and fabricated in New Zealand.

It is suitable for ‘red line’ filling and eliminates pallets from the packing area. The filler offers a number of features: accurate bulk bag weighing, metal detection with an inline magnet trap, powder sampling, dust-tight powder filling, base compaction, MAP post-gassing and heat sealing of the barrier liner, transportation of the closed bulk bag to warehouse area, loading bulk bags on the pallets and conveying out to the forklift pick-up point.

The increased accuracy of filling is achieved by synchronising weighing with the powder flow. The bulk bag stability for future transportation and storage is provided by compacting the bulk bag base during filling. The high throughput rate is determined by the filler’s three-station design: interruptions to the ultimate filling process are minimal due to relocation of bulk bag closing and unloading to the separate stations.

The filler can be run by one operator in the packing room and one forklift operator in the warehouse. With safety paramount, a number of ergonomic features ensure minimal manual input. Increased efficiency and safe operation throughout all steps of packing are enabled by handy location of operator panels, user-friendly HMI and touch screens.
