Flexicon has launched a combination of 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 the filling of drums. The unit’s 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 the operation of conventional bulk bag fillers. The device simultaneously lowers and pivots the fill head, stopping it in a vertically oriented position that places the bag inlet spout inflatable connection, the inflator button and four bag loop latches within arm’s length of the operator. This increases the safety and speed of connecting bulk bags, since the connection points of a conventional filler are beyond the reach of most operators, even when bags as short as 1200 mm in height are being filled. A remote console or wall-mounted panel houses controls to raise and pivot the fill head into a locked, horizontal fill position, automatically inflate the bag to remove creases, open a flow control valve or start a feed device, and stop the flow of material once a preset fill weight has been gained. Optional vibratory decks de-aerate and densify material in the bag at preset set points.
