Flexible and Safe Filling of Small Receptacles
The small-container filling and weighing station enables the flexible filling of small batches of bulk materials into bags, cartons with liners, buckets, or small drums. Different filling heads and operating modes can be adapted to the specific container shape. This allows a wide range of filling tasks to be carried out using a single, versatile station.
Precise dosing for consistent fill weights
Automatic dosing up to the specified fill weight ensures reproducible weighing results and consistent formulation accuracy. Depending on the application, either a dosing screw or a DA-type eddy-current screen is used. When the screen is used, foreign materials are simultaneously screened out and smaller agglomerates are broken up during dosing. This helps ensure consistent product quality during filling.
Ensuring Batch Consistency and Product Safety
Tracking and tracing, reproducible process steps, and strict batch separation ensure a traceable and safe filling process. The clear separation of batches helps prevent cross-contamination. This allows the filling process—as a critical final step before shipment—to be specifically integrated into quality assurance.
Automation Tailored to the Filling Process
For bags and cartons with liners, container handling remains manual, while dosing is performed automatically until the target weight is reached. For rigid containers such as buckets or small drums, small-container filling can also be fully automated. This allows the degree of automation to be adapted to the specific application and container shape.
Hygiene, Dust Protection, and Easy Cleaning
An optional suction system removes dust-laden air displaced during filling. Operation can be carried out in compliance with ATEX regulations according to the defined zones. At the same time, the filling system meets high hygiene standards; solutions for complete inline wet cleaning are also available for relevant applications. This supports a hygienic filling process that is as easy to handle as possible.
