20 / May 2021 powderbulk.com Bag-in-box equipment compacts filled bags for transport Bag-in-box equipment adds a final compacting step to the production process of powders and granules. Equipment accepts already filled and sealed bags to be compactly packed at up to 60 bags per hour. Equipment vibrates sealed bags flat, transports them via a conveyor belt to a funnel, after which the bags are automatically placed in boxes. Equipment also automatically labels the boxes.

Machine features fully automated bag size changeover and fills using a single- or dual-spout configuration, depend- ing on capacity requirements. Machine is suitable for paper, plastic, or woven polypropylene bags and various bag closing systems. Machine can use gross- or net-weigh scales and has six different material feed system options, allowing multiple material feed systems per feed spout to sepa- rate material delivery and minimize cleanout requirements. Cordano Packaging Engineers, Cumming, GA 678-947-0314 www.cordanopackaging.com Bulk bag filler automatically fills bulk bags at high rates Flowmatic model 04 bulk bag filler offers automated bulk bag filling and packaging processes with minimal operator intervention required. Filler is for continuous use with flowrates up to 30 bulk bags per hour. Filler's sequence includes: feeding pallet via unstacker and roller conveyor, seal- ing bulk bag spout via inflatable seal, tensioning and height adjustments via pneumatic cylinder, high-rate bag filling, gradual bulk bag lowering for stability, material densification and deaeration, weighing and dosing management, and auto disconnection of bulk bag once filled.
