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.
