Bulk Bag filling station with integrated weighing and vibrating densification table.

Objective: 
The Palamatic Process solution:

• Bulk bag filling station (FlowMatic® 03) 
• Output: 90 super sacks per day
• Weighing accuracy tolerance: 500 Kg +/- 500g  
• The big bag station is located in Classification II / Division 1 hazardous area.  

The FlowMatic® 03 bulk bag loading station fills FIBCs while containing any dust emissions and promoting material flow to optimize the bulk solids packing process.
An inflatable seal with a clamping ring is integrated into the filling head for dust free operation during the product flow cyle into the bulk bag. A pneumatic cabinet allows operation of the inflatable seal via a piloted pneumatic control and pressure limiter.

Round forks allow the bulk bag to be loaded and docked. The adjustable forks facilitate the loading and packing of bulk bags of various sizes. A pneumatic cylinder, operated by the control panel, provides the height adjustment of the hooks and placement of the bulk bag on the pallet as it is being filled. A regulated relief valve adjusts the tensioning force of the bulk bag to further assist with the filling process. At the end of the filling cycle, the bulk bag is released via the pneumatic cylinder exhaust.
This automatic control of these functions provide optimum filling and excellent stability of the bulk bag on its pallet.

A mechanized roller conveyor transfers the bulk bags after the packaging process is complete. The vibrating table, installed on the roller conveyor, is retractable to prevent interference with the conveying equipment. During the transfer and removal of the filled bulk bag, the table is lowered under the rollers as the pallet comes to rest on the conveyor. The transition of the densification table is conducted by flexible pneumatic cylinders with a dedicated solenoid valve and position sensors.
