Flexicon Corp. offers a stainless steel, sanitary bulk bag filler that detects and separates metal as it fills bulk bags by weight, dust-free. The filler frame is a patented twin-centerpost design that maximizes strength, reduces cost and improves accessibility to bag hooks, according to the company. It is equipped with an integral metal detector/separator that detects metal in the free-fall stream of material entering the filler, and then ejects it through a chute that discharges into a removable drum at the rear of the unit. The filler also incorporates: fill head height adjustment to accept all popular bag sizes; an inflatable cuff forming a high-integrity seal to the bag inlet spout; a blower to remove bag creases prior to filling; load cells for filling by weight; a vent port for dust-free air displacement during filling; pneumatically retractable bag hooks; and an automated vibratory deaeration/densification system to maximize capacity and stabilize the bag for storage and shipment.
