Description
BIG BAG FILLING - Containment and stability of the big bags
The big bag filling system, also called big bag filling machine, was designed to fill flexible containers with a full containment. The FlowMatic® 02 system incorporates an inflatable containment seal and a height adjustable big bag hanging deck. The structure can be adjusted with an automaton controlled pneumatic cylinder which gives an optimal shape to the big bag during the filling operations. The cylinder also enables the packaging of big bags of different heights. The filling head, on the other hand, is designed with a double casing to ensure the volumes are balanced and to thus prevent any dust emissions into the atmosphere.
The FlowMatic® 02 filling station has a filling rate of 10 to 20 big bags per hour.
The automatic height adjustment of the forks, with a tension cylinder, enables a tensioning of the big bag. This device ensures an optimal and stable filling. The inflatable seal seals the filling sleeve during the filling process and allows high flow rates to be processed.

Operation procedure:
1. Installation of the big bag on the packaging station
2. Hermetic fixing of the big bag filling sleeve by inflatable joint
3. Tensioning of the big bag with the pneumatic cylinder
4. Big bag filling
5. Progressive lowering of the big bag by means of an adjustable valve
6. Depositing the big bag on its pallet: bottom forming (stability of the big bag during handling)
7. End of filling, deflation of the seal. The big bag is ready to be evacuated
8. Evacuation of the big bag by forklift truck or pallet truck, by the handling pallet or by the straps of the big bag.
Palamatic Process has developed a complete range of big bag conditioning systems (FIBC, super sack, jumbo bag, bulk bag) to meet the various needs of the industries. The FlowMatic® 02 model represents the effective and flexible solution for the simple conditioning of powdery and bulk materials. Flow rates from 1 to 15 big bags/h.
The FlowMatic® 02 big bag filling includes an inflatable containment seal and a big bag hanging deck adjustable in height via a piloted pneumatic cylinder. The entire adjustable structure allows the conditioning of big bags of different heights according to product densities. The filling head is designed with a double casing to ensure that the volumes are balanced and thus avoid any dust emission into the atmosphere.
The tension cylinder ensures that a tension is maintained during the filling phase and thus gives the big bag an optimal shape. The bottom of the big bag remains flat, so it is safe to handle without the risk of tipping over.
Equipment advantages
- Width adjustable forks for the optimal filling of all type of big bags
- Inflatable seal to ensure a containment and enable high flow rates
- Tension cylinder to ensure a perfect filling of the big bag and prepare it for handling operations
- Removal of the big bag possible by trolley or pallet truck

U-shaped forks: enable the removal of the big bag by the handles (optional)
Integrated equipment to the FlowMatic® 02 model:
- Round forks for attaching the handles of the big bag: offers an easier sliding of the handles of the big bag.
- U-shaped forks for attaching the big bag handles: allows the big bag to be evacuated directly through the handles using a forklift truck (no pallet is used).
- Support structure: the structure is manually height adjustable to adapt to all types of big bag
- Width adjustment: the center distance of the forks is width adjustable to optimize the filling operation but provides an increased stability of the flexible container on the pallet.
- Inflatable seal: The inflatable seal ensures an airtight connection between the filling head and the big bag during its filling.
- Filling head: the filling head is designed in a double casing for volume balancing. The charged air is evacuated through the degassing line which can be connected to the dedusting network.
- Tension cylinder: the pneumatic cylinder is installed on the deck of the suspension forks. It allows to bring the system for attaching the handles of the big bag to ergonomic height, to adjust to the different big bag heights and to give an optimal shape to the big bag thanks to the permanent tensioning during the whole conditioning phase. The big bag is perfectly filled without any risk of pocketing and can be handled safely, without any risk of it tipping over.
Options
Available options
-
Conveyor
The big bag placed upon the pallet is evacuated by a motorized roller conveyor, thus optimizing production.
-
Mobile station
The bagging stations can integrate handling sleeves allowing the handling of the assembly on the forklift truck or pallet truck.
These mobile big bag packaging stations allow the conditioning of the big bags under separate feeding points or truck loading handles.Versions with rails and wheels are available as standard at Palamatic Process.
-
Hook - Handle
The equipment can be designed to accommodate big bags 1 handle big bags. A specific maintenance hook enables the positioning of the handle. This hook is set up on the height adjusting deck, thus keeping the system’s flexibility.
A curved feeding tube completes the system allowing to preserve a straight seat on the big bag, ensuring an optimal filling.
-
Automatic release
Four articulated hooks are installed on the big bag reception deck. The automaton activated pneumatic cylinder controls the tilting of the hook at the end of the dosing process.
-
Pallet unstacker
In order to automate the big bag filling station, we propose the installation of an automatic pallet unstacker.
The stacked pallets are stored in the warehouse, then feed one by one the big bag packing machine via a motorized conveyor. -
Load cells
We incorporate load cells and an operator interface which ensure that the big bags are packed very accurately.
Our bagging systems ensure you a commercial weighing. The protected integration of the load cells ensures an excellent service life of the equipment.Additional options specific to big bag weighing such as communication in profibus mode or printing a weighing ticket can be integrated.
Our weighing partners are: Precia Molen, Sartorius, Master-K, Mettler Toledo, Philips, Siemens, Vishay Nobel.
-
Grounding clamp
Mass braids equip the entire station. A quick connection point allows the grounding of the big bags, thus creating an equipotential connection of the unit.
-
Platform
It facilitates access to the upper part of the packaging machine to allow the closing of the bagging head of the flexible container.
-
Internal bag welding machine
Once the big bag is filled, it is evacuated to the cuff closing station. A thermo-welding system allows the big bag to be sealed tightly by the action of heated jaws on the inner bag. Welding technologies can be adapted according to the characteristics of the big bag (aluminum inner bag).
-
Vibrating table
In order to deaerate the product, a vibrating table activated by two electric motors optimizes the filling of the big bag.
-
Fan
Pre-inflation fan: the fan on the station ensures the shaping of the big bag. It also facilitates the filling of big bags equipped with an internal pocket (PE or aluminized). A by-pass valve completes the air line, thus allowing the degassing of fines captured by the double casing tube during the conditioning phase.
