This Gross Weight, Open Mouth Bag Filling System is fabricated in 316 stainless steel and custom designed to suit client’s requirements. Twin Screw Feeders supply a wide range of powdered products to the weigher to fill and close 15kg to 25kg open mouth bags at a rate of Four (4) bags per minute with an accuracy of 100grams or better.
The Supply Hopper is fitted with a Low Level Product Probe and is designed to hold the entire volume of product from the Mixer. Whilst the Mixer commences another cycle the previous batch is weigh filled into bags. The bag filling and closing operation simply requires the operator to place a empty bag onto the Bag Clamp assembly which automatically commences the filling cycle, feeding product into the bag via the Variable Speed Twin Screws with two or three stage feed control for optimum accuracy.
Once filled, the bag is released onto the Moving Bag Closing Conveyor and stops prior to the Bag Closing Equipment. When clear of the Bag Clamp Assembly, the operator places another empty bag to be filled. Whilst the bag is being filled the operator steps left to the previous filled bag and presents the bag to the Automatic Bag Closing Equipment.
When the product in the Supply Hopper drops to "Low Level" and the current bag filling cycle has finished, a Flashing Pilot Light indicates to the operator the choice to either drop the next mixer contents of same recipe into the Hopper, or continue to bag off the remaining product prior to emptying the "new" mixer contents.
Access for ease to clean is provided via Removable Augers, Removable Shut Valve and Hinged Access Covers; all designed and fitted with Safety Interlock Switches complying to Australian Standards.
