Bulk bag filling - Containment, densification and bulk weighing
The FlowMatic® 03 filling system's structure is easily adjustable to condition bulk bags of various sizes. The tensioning cylinder and pre-forming fan help maintain the shape of the bulk bag for optimal filling. The vibrating table ensures the deaeration of low-density products and densification of various materials.
The FlowMatic® 03 filling system has a filling rate ranging from 10 to 20 bulk bags per hour.

Operating mode :
1. Installation of the bulk bag on the packaging station
2. The bulk bag spout is fixed to the filling head by means of an inflatable seal which ensures dust containment during operation.
3. Tensioning of the bulk bag with the pneumatic cylinder
4. The pre-forming fan inflates and shapes the bulk bag (FIBC)
5. Inflating fan is deactivated and another fan used for reverse jet filtration of the bulk bag is switched on
6. Bulk bag filling starts with high flow rate capability
7. Bulk bag comes to rest on its pallet and the vibrating table ensures stability of the bulk bag during filling and handling
8. Vibrating table further ensures densification of material with intermittent operation throughout the filling process
9. Load cells allow for weight management via a low speed switch to adjust the flow rate for final dosing
10. End of the filling process, the forks lower and the seal deflates. The bulk bag is ready to be unloaded
11. Removal of the bulk bag can commence by forklift, pallet truck or by the bulk bag straps
The FlowMatic® 03 bulk bag filling station incorporates all the necessary options for an efficient filling and dust containment operation. These features include the inflatable containment seal, bulk bag hanging deck with pneumatic cylinder height adjustment, bulk bag shaping fan, bulk bag weighing system (dosing), optional commercial weighing and vibrating densification table. The adjustable structure enables the conditioning of bulk bags of various heights and dimensions. The filling head is designed with a double casing to relieve back pressure during filling as well as containment of dust emissions into the atmosphere. The tension cylinder and the fan allow the bulk bag to be pre-formed for optimal filling. Finally, the vibrating table also ensures that the handling of the packed bulk bag is safe by avoiding the risk of tipping.
The FlowMatic®03 bulk bag filling station has a filling rate ranging from 10 to 20 bulk bags per hour.

U-shaped forks: allow the removal of the bulk bag by the handles (optional)
Equipment integrated into the FlowMatic®03 model:
- Round hooking forks of the bulk bag: offers easier sliding of the bulk bag handles.
- U-shaped forks for attaching the bulk bag handles: allow the bulk bag to be evacuated directly through the handles using a forklift truck (no pallet is used).
- Support Structure: The structure is adjustable via a pneumatic cylinder to accommodate varying sizes of bulk bags. Width adjustment: the spacing of the hanging forks is adjustable to optimize the filling operation and provides greater stability of the FIBC when resting on a pallet.
- Inflatable seal: change “tight” to “dust-tight”
- Filling head: The filling head is a double-jacketed design to allow for air to material volume balancing. The air exhaust can be connected to a dust filtration system for a clean working atmosphere.
- Tension cylinder: the pneumatic cylinder is attached to the suspension forks and allows for height adjustment for operator ergonomics, accommodation of varying bulk bag sizes and optimal shape of the bulk bag during the filling cycle. The bulk bag is filled without risk of air pockets or folds, and can be safely handled without risk of tipping over.
- Pre-inflation fan: integrated on the filling head, the fan provides two functions. First, it helps shape the bulk bag for optimal filling (no folds or creases). Second, an integrated by-pass valve helps balance the air volume while material if filling the bulk bag. Any fine particulates, or dust, are vented through the double jacketed filling tube during the filling phase. This vent can be connected to a dust collection system for a clean and safe work environment.
Options
Available options
-
Conveyor
The bulk bag placed upon the pallet is removed thanks to a motorized roller conveyor, thus optimizing production.
-
Rotating head
System allowing the ergonomic implementation of the empty big bag. Designed using a high-strength bearing, a simple rotation (+ 180°/-180°) of the attachment system allows the operator to position the 4 handles of the big bag from his workstation.
The automatic release of the handles, once the big bag filled, completes the system and makes it a particularly suitable equipment for high packaging rates.
The enclosed unit incorporates the pre-inflation fan, allowing its use in difficult environments also subject to strong hygiene constraints.
-
Mobile station
The bagging stations can integrate handling sleeves allowing the handling of the assembly on the forklift truck or pallet truck.
These mobile big bag packaging stations allow the conditioning of the big bags under separate feeding points or truck loading spouts.Versions with rails and wheels are available as standard at Palamatic Process.
-
Hook - Handle
The equipment can be designed to accommodate big bags 1 handle big bags. A specific maintenance hook enables the positioning of the handle. This hook is set up on the height adjusting deck, thus keeping the system’s flexibility.
A curved feeding tube completes the system allowing to preserve a straight base on the big bag, ensuring an optimal filling.
-
Automatic big bag release
Four articulated hooks are installed on the big bag reception deck. The automaton activated pneumatic cylinder controls the tilting of the hook at the end of the dosing process.
-
Pallet unstacker
In order to automate the big bag filling station, we propose the installation of an automatic pallet unstacker.
The stacked pallets are stored in the warehouse, then feed one by one the big bag packing machine via a motorized conveyor.
-
Grounding clamp
Mass braids equip the entire station. A quick connection point allows the grounding of the big bags, thus creating an equipotential connection of the unit.
-
Platform
It facilitates access to the upper part of the big bag filling machine to allow the closing of the bagging head of the flexible container.
-
Internal bag welding system
Once the big bag is filled, it is evacuated to the cuff closing station. A thermo-welding system allows the big bag to be sealed tightly by the action of heated jaws on the inner bag. Welding technologies can be adapted according to the characteristics of the big bag (aluminum inner bag).
