The filler is furnished with fill head height adjustment to allow for all popular bag sizes, pneumatically retractable bag hooks and an inflatable connector to stamp the bag inlet spout. A feed chute outlet port can be supplied with a filter sock for dust-free air displacement during filling, or vented to an optional BAG-VAC dust collector or the plant's bag house.
The FLEXICON conveyor is made of a steel outer tube with a rugged flexible screw that self-centers as it rotates, keeping material from grinding between the screw and tube wall, while wiping out the need for a bearing at the intake end. Since the screw is driven at its upper end beyond the discharge point, material contact with seals or bearings is removed.
As soon as the operator connects the bag straps and activates the inflatable spout seal, all works are automatic. The conveyor runs at full rate as the filler's vibratory deck cycles on and off to densify and stabilize the material. Load cells transfer weight gain data to the PLC, that slows the conveyor rotation to dribble-feed rate, halts the conveyor once the bag has gained its target weight, and releases the bag straps, allowing a forklift to remove the palletized bag.
Types are intended for human-machine interfaces with touch screens and graphic representations of equipment inputs and outputs, customized by application.
The company also offers REAR-POST bulk bag fillers for pass-through roller conveying, and SWING-DOWN fillers that moreover pivot the fill head to the operator at floor level for the fastest and safest bag connections.
Other bulk handling equipment manufactured by the company includes bulk bag conditioners, bulk bag dischargers, bag dump stations, drum/box/container dumpers, tubular cable conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems, weigh batching/blending systems and automated plant-wide bulk handling systems.
