Multi-Purpose Filler

August 6, 2012
fleixcon mutli purpose filler machine bulk bagsFlexicon’s Multi-Purpose Filler dispenses bulk solid materials by weight into boxes, drums and bulk bags. The unit features a fill head that seals dust-tight against the inlet spout of bulk bags, or connects to transition adapters that seal against open boxes or drums. Bulk bag filling-related features include manual fill head height adjustment to accommodate all popular bag sizes, pneumatically retractable bag hooks, an inflatable connector to seal the bag inlet spout and a feed chute outlet port for dust-free air displacement during filling. A transition hood connected to the fill head using quick-action clamps fills boxes from 36 to 48 in. on a side and 39 to 44 in. overall height. For filling of drums from 30 to 55 gal., a pneumatically actuated, telescoping drum-filling adapter swivels inward for rapid connection to the fill head using quick-action clamps, after which an inlet plate is sealed against the rim of the drum.
