New system optimises filling process

BEUMER has expanded its product portfolio with the fillpac filling machine.

The new machine can be flexibly integrated with existing packaging lines and can be optimised for users’ needs.

It has a weighing electronics system which ensures the weight accuracy of the bags. Rejects caused by too-high or too-low filling weights can be excluded.

It is equipped with a weighing unit that communicates with the filler neck via specific software.

The automatic bag weight adjustment determines the exact filling weight of the bags, thus enabling the exact degrees of filling during the filling process.

Fillpac is designed for capacities ranging from 300 to 6,000 bags per hour and can fill various bag types. If equipped with a special bag placer, it can even fill HDPE bags.

The three-position cylinder that regulates the coarse and fine flow is protected from dust, because it is positioned vertically and outside of the “dirty” area. The cylinder for bag discharging is also located in the dust-free zone above the filling spout. This solution minimises wear and tear on both cylinders and, therefore, ensures longer service life.

Almost all built-in components of the fillpac are freely available commercially. This reduces delivery times for spare parts and lowers capital costs for the user. Also, the system is designed so that it is easily accessible for maintenance.

The larger size filling impeller reduces fill times and increasing throughput.

The system is also equipped with an ergonomic control terminal. The improved human-machine interface concept makes work simple and intuitive.
