Flexicon's revolutionary SWING-DOWN™ bulk bag filler is on show at this year’s INTERPACK 05 Show - Stand No. 5B24. It features a pivot-down fill head that enables the operator to connect empty bags at floor level and resume filling operations rapidly, eliminating the need to climb steps, strain to reach overhead connection points or risk injury associated with the operation of conventional bulk bag fillers.
The patent-applied-for design simultaneously lowers and pivots the fill head, stopping it in a vertically oriented position that places the bag inlet spout inflatable connection, inflator button and four bag loop latches within arm's length of the operator at floor level.
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 to create a solid, stable bag, ready for shipment.
Once bags are filled, the controller deflates the spout connection collar, releases the loop latches and raises the fill head to fully disengage the spout, enabling the bag to exit the filler automatically on the roller conveyor. An innovative latch mechanism automatically resets the latch after releasing the bag loops and re-positions it as the fill head pivots into a vertical position, enabling the latch to receive bag loops easily inserted by an operator and to re-latch automatically, securing the bag.
It is constructed of carbon steel with durable industrial finish or stainless steel finished to industrial, food, dairy or pharmaceutical standards and is offered with material delivery systems integrated with upstream process equipment or other material source.
