Basic bulk bag filler

Flexicon has released a Basic Bulk Bag Filler that performs low-capacity filling operations at minimal cost and can be upgraded with performance enhancements including a material delivery system integrated with the user’s process equipment or bulk storage vessels.

The Model BFB filler is a lighter-duty version of the company’s heavy-gauge Twin-Centrepost filler, a design with two on-centre posts said to offer the structural integrity of four-post fillers but at lower material and fabrication costs and with less weight. It also affords easier access to the bag spout and loops.

The filler is equipped as standard with fill head height adjustment via fork truck to accommodate all popular bag sizes, an inflatable cuff to seal the bag inlet spout and a feed chute vent port for dust-free air displacement during filling.

Performance can be enhanced by adding an inflator to expand the bag prior to filling, and a programmable scale system with flow control valve for automated filling by weight. The filler is also available with the company’s flexible screw or pneumatic conveyor delivery system integrated with the user’s upstream process equipment or other material source.
