Flexicon’s filler for bulk boxes, totes, bins, and intermediate bulk containers can load bulk solid materials free of dust, at low cost.
The unit’s fill head can be raised or lowered using a forklift and secured with clevis pins to minimise the clearance between the rectangular dust hood and the opening of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) ranging from 1220- to 1980-millimetres tall.
A fill head port can be vented to a filter sock to contain displaced dust, or to a central bag house that causes a clear flexible skirt to vacuum-seal against the container’s exterior, increasing dust containment effectiveness.
Performance can be enhanced by a vibratory deck to densify and stabilise the material during filling, and/or load cells that signal a PLC when to stop the flow of material by stopping a conveyor or closing a rotary valve or slide gate once a programmed weight is gained.
