Filler is bulk bag of tricks

29-Aug-2008

Bulk solids handling specialist, Flexicon (Europe) has launched a combination, bulk bag/drum filler featuring a fill head that pivots down for connecting empty bags at floor level and a swing-arm-mounted chute for filling drums.

The swing-down fill head enables the operator to connect bag spouts and resume filling operations rapidly, eliminating the need to step over roller conveyors, strain to reach overhead connection points or risk injury associated with conventional bulk bag fillers.

The patented device can be switched to drum filling mode in seconds by positioning the swing-arm-mounted drum-filling chute under the fill head discharge port. The chute automatically rotates to deliver material to all four drums on a pallet.
