Individual filling systems for Big Bags

Essential functions
and versions
Frame
The Big Bag is placed into a frame so that it is fixed securely in the filling position and the loops of the Big Bag are secured in the hanging hooks. Frames need therefore to be strong enough and stand firmly.
Our frames:
Made of normal or stainless steel
Modular in various construction heights
Square or rounded profiles for hygiene zones
As a mobile version (with rollers) or anchored in the floor
Also with movable hanging hooks for easy loosening of Big Bag loops after the filling process.

Big Bag Connecting systems
You can choose between two connecting systems:
Simple filling equipment
Our simplest version: A fall tube attached to the frame to the top of which the product feed is attached. The Big Bag in-feed is placed over the lower end and fastened with a strong clamp.
Features:
Cost-effective and low-dust filling appliance
Fastening of the in-feed with strong clamping device or lifting collar
Optionally with aspiration fittings, dust removal filters or fill-level indicator
Manual operation with ergonomic manual fastener

Filling heads
Our filling heads are equipped with a special inflatable collar at the outlet, which the Big Bag liner is fitted over. The Big Bag inlet is securely fastened to the filling head and sealed by inflating the collar.
Features:
Filling head with inflatable collar to secure and seal the Big Bag inlet
Vertically adjustable height
Swivel construction
Optional: dust removal filter, aspiration fittings of fill level indicator or trickle prevention.
Manual or pneumatic control

Filling aids
Our filling aids ensure that the product has the optimum distribution in the Big Bag after starting the filling process. Two thing are important for this:
The Big Bag liner should be fully spread out and there should be no creases before starting the filling process.
The product should spread over the whole surface of the Big Bag when filling, with as low a material heap as possible.
Shaping equipment
For unfolding and shaping Big Bag liners using compressed air before starting the product feed. Shaping the big Bag ensures that the whole Big Bag volume can be used efficiently and no container volume is lost through creases or dead space.
Inflating with compressed air and ambient air
Use of the Venturi principle in the form of an air-flow amplifier– this saves compressed air.
Simple integration into SPS control systems

Vibration Tables
In the filling process, the Big Bag stands on a sprung vibration table. An oscillator motor sets the support plate in high frequency vibration. The vibrations are transferred to the product in the Big Bag which ensure even distribution in the interior.

Weighing systems
Big Bags are often weight as they are filled. In connection with the corresponding control, parts of the process can be automated: When a predefined fill level is reached, the filling process is automatically stopped.
Optionally as a platform or U-frame scales
Visualization of the weighing process in the control

Dust removal
You can choose from the following dust removal solutions:
Connection to an existing dust removal system via an aspiration fitting on the filling module,
Various suction and extrusion filters attached directly to the filling module, also available as a hygiene filter compliant with FDA or EC1935/2004.

Safety of our filling systems
Expedient combination of various concepts is important for safe operation:
Optimal stability of the base frame (mobile and anchored)
Safe deployment of the Big Bag: Well secured hanging hooks that can optionally be opened or closed pneumatically, or can be moved horizontally.
Intuitive, ergonomic and safe operating devices at critical points of the system control or the connection of the liner to the filling module.
Safety guards with safety switches or sensors
Operator safety through containment




Control technology
Simple or complex – the following generally applies: A filling system must always be as fault-free, intuitive and safe to operate as possible.
The more complex the filling solution is, the more important it is…
that the operator always maintains an overview of the process and
that operator error is ruled out, e.g., by automation or certain control mechanisms.
Engelsmann offers a comprehensive selection of control options: from a simple operating pendant to full automated programmable, control systems with a touchscreen.
