Bulk bag filling of sludge or large-lumped materials
Flexicon Europe, Whitstable, UK, has introduced a Wide-Inlet bulk bag filler designed to allow rapid transfer of large, moist or dense chunks and semi-solid materials into open or duffle-top bulk bags. The unit features powered height adjustment to accommodate all popular bag heights. Material passes through a hopper equipped with a slide gate valve positioned above the filler, and through the filler's inlet chute that tapers from 660 to 508mm square before discharging into the open-top bag. A vibratory de-aeration deck activated at timed intervals during the filling cycle densifies the bulk material, thereby stabilising the bag.
When load cells signal that the bag is approaching target weight, a controller shuts the slide gate valve, releases the bag straps and activates a powered roller conveyor to remove the filled bulk bag from the filling area. Constructed of carbon steel with durable industrial finish, the system is suitable for sludge-like materials, irregular-sized scrap, mulch, stone, coal, wood pellets and other bulk material too large or insufficiently free flowing for conventional bulk bag fillers. The unit is also available in stainless steel for filling of potatoes and similar-sized vegetables and crops. www.flexicon.co.uk
