Concetti (see above) reports that it has also recently supplied a bulk bag filling station for urea to a Spanish manufacturer of quality fertiliser materials. High productivity and the practicality of this type of packaging in the agriculture industry together with excellent corrosion resistance are among the key benefits of the new system. The installation fills hourly up to 100 bulk bags of 500kg capacity and can be operated by one person. With automatic height adjustment, it is possible to fill FIBCs up to 2000mm in height and weighing between 500 and 2000kg, thus guaranteeing extremely flexible operation.

 

The Concetti designed heat sealer is manually controlled by the operator and adjustable in height and allows significantly improved protection of the product during storage and transport. Urea is a water-soluble fertiliser and highly sensitive to external agents. The use of a resistant double-layer bulk bag with heat sealing closure (an alternative to simply tying off the FIBC neck) raises the level of product integrity and protection. Fertiliser materials are corrosive, so special attention was given to the free sliding wear surfaces, particularly in the most vulnerable areas, where hardened surfaces or corrosion-resistant steels are used to ensure long operating life. Other surfaces were treated with a special paint finish. www.concetti.com
