BagPak 4400-AD Bulk Bag Filling Video
Read Transcript
The FormPak BagPak 4400 AD bulk bag filler
is our most automated and ergonomic filling
system and can produce up to 20 bags per hour
or more.
This filler has an option for a powered carousel
to use multiple bag sizes on the same line
or for attaching bags at an easy-to-reach
height then, raising fulfilling.
The rule of thumb is to have the corners approximately
three to four inches above the pallet, so
the bag can stretch and fill properly.
An optional pallet feeder is also available
with this unit.
If included, a pallet will be removed from
the bottom of the stack and fed automatically
into the filling zone.
This fork-style feeder is ideal for multiple
pallets to be used on the same system as well
as for irregular or inconsistent pallets.
The positive engagement with the forks ensures
pallets won’t jam or bind, as can be seen
in compression and dog-style feeders.
Once the pallet is in place, the first two
bag loops can be fed into the lift loop support
bales, then turn the carriage 180 degrees
to attach the other two lift loops.
This is a manual operation to save the complexity
and maintenance associated with power systems
for traversing hooks.
The carousel rides on roller bearings, creating
smooth and easy turning.
With few moving parts and 100% duty-cycle
components, there is nearly zero maintenance
to this system.
Now the fill spout can be pulled up over the
fill head and the seal inflated.
Once the start cycle button is hit, the rest
of this operation is completely automated.
The filler will open and close the valve or
start and stop the conveyor to fill the bag
to weight via bulk and dribble flow.
An optional densifier is used to settle the
bag in cycles as it fills, providing more
material per fill and creating a stable package.
Once target weight is hit, the system automatically
releases the bag loops, deflates the spout
seal and dispenses the bag from the filler
and onto the accumulation zone.
This unit can be integrated with infeed valves,
densification systems, hoppers, stretch wrappers
and much more.
