Description
Bulk bag filler - FLY ASH RECONDITIONING IN CONFINED AREAS
The FlowMatic® 02 Ashflow OEB bulk bag filling equipment is designed for the reconditioning of fly ash at thermal power plant sites.
The refiom is collected at the outlet of centralized filters, silos or at the outlet of Reddler type chain conveyors and is often at high temperatures of up to 250°C.
The bagging of the ashes is carried out in a completely sealed enclosure ensuring safe handling by the plant operators. The extremely abrasive nature of fly ash is taken into account in this contained super sack fillling solution. Also, depending on the temperature of the ash (refiom), the bulk bag station can accept metal containers to provide storage of ashes above 110°C.
Containment of the FlowMatic® 02 Ashflow OEB bulk bag station is provided by a sealed enclosure with a lockable door and an inflatable FIBC connection seal.
The removal of the bulk bag from its enclosure is conducted by a sliding system, allowing handling by the operator. The closure of the bulk bag sleeve is completed in the containment chamber.
In order to ensure an autonomous and safe filling of the bulk bag, an inflation fan provides the optimal shape of the bag. The filling is controlled by weight sensors (load cells) or a radar sensor detecting high level.
Big bag filling stations can be installed in parallel to ensure continuous emptying of the dust filters.

Operating mode :
- Opening of the containment cabin by the operator
- Placing the big bag on the fixing hooks
- Connecting the filling sleeve to the inflatable containment seal
- Validation of the installation for loading authorisation
- High level alert reached
- Removal of the big bag before closing the cuff
- For easy handling, the fixing hooks and the connection head can be removed from outside the cabin. The reconnection is automatic and ensured by a pneumatic cylinder connecting the ash outlet to the filling head.
Equipment advantages
- Containment of ashes by dust-tight cabin
- Resistance to temperatures of 250°C
- Optimised filling of bulk bags
- Filling level control
- Ergonomics facilitated by extractable system
