Basic bulk bag filler unveiled by Flexicon

A new Basic Bulk Bag Filler introduced by Flexicon performs low capacity filling operations at minimal cost and can be upgraded with performance enhancements including a material delivery system integrated with the user's process equipment or bulk storage vessels.

The new "Model BFB" filler is a lighter-duty version of the Company's heavy-gauge Twin-Centerpostâ„¢ filler, a patented design with two centre posts offerring the structural integrity of four-post fillers but at significantly lower material and fabrication costs and with less weight. It also affords easier access to the bag spout and loops.

The filler is equipped as standard with fill head height adjustment via fork truck to accommodate all popular bag sizes, an inflatable neck to seal the bag inlet spout, and a feed chute vent port for dust-free air displacement during filling.

Performance can be enhanced by adding an inflator to expand the bag prior to filling and a programmable scale system with flow control valve for automated filling by weight. The filler is also available with the Company's own flexible screw or pneumatic conveyor delivery system integrated with the user's upstream process equipment or other material source.
