Big Bag Filler

The vertical big bag filler from Allvege Process Technologies is used to fill big bags or boxes. Vertical belts are mounted on the frame to fill the big bags, along with a transport belt that allows a change in conveying direction. As the machine can hold two big bags or boxes, filling can continue without interruption. When hooks are installed, big bags can be filled; when the hooks are removed, boxes can be filled.

The vertical big bag filler lowers and stops just before reaching the bottom of the box or bag. A product sensor inside the filler detects the product and moves upward as the box or bag is filled.

Fingers or cleats on the vertical big bag filler gently convey the produce into the box or bag. Once a box or bag is full, the product feed stops until an empty box or bag is detected. The feed conveyor then reverses direction and fills the second box or bag, allowing continuous filling.

Characteristics

  • Depending on product size, the conveyor is available with 11 cm or 16 cm openings
  • Available with different cleat options such as fingers, THW, and interrupted THW
  • Weighing units can be integrated into the machine on request
  • Soft rubber fingers on the vertical belt gently support and convey produce into the box with minimal drop height
  • Reversible conveyor (available on dual-head configuration only) enables continuous filling by automatically directing produce to the empty box when the other box is full
  • Standard support frame allows easy integration into the processing line and accommodates most common box sizes; customization is available for bags or extra-tall boxes and bags
  • Box locating bars ensure accurate box positioning and prevent damage to the support frame and machine
  • Box detection sensor system prevents product loss on the floor; the box filler starts only when the box is correctly positioned under the vertical belt
  • Produce level sensor provides signals for adjusting the vertical belt height and indicates when a box is full
