Beccaria, Scarnafigi Cuneo, Italy, has launched updated models of its bulk bag discharge and filling frames. With the new filling frame, the arms for holding the bag have been modified to provide greater strength and can easily be adjusted to accommodate different bag heights. The central filling tube is telescopic so can also be set to the required height. The ingenious bag clamping system allows the operator to use one hand to hold the bag in position whilst the other hand remains free to secure the neck of the bag. This eliminates the need for more sophisticated pneumatic bag clamping systems. The filling frames are available with or without load cell weighing system.

The new discharge frames are offered in two versions: one for use with fork lift trucks and the other with pallet trucks. The bag support funnel is isolated from the main frame using anti-vibration mounts and there is a mounting point on the discharge funnel for a vibrator if required. A bag massaging system is also available. Beneath the funnel there is an access door to allow for untying of the bag and a screen catches any bag fragments or other large contaminants. Beccaria is represented in the UK by K-Tech Plastics Machinery. www.beccaria.it; www.ktechplastics.co.uk
