Perkasie, PA -- Finally a filling system that can accommodate most of the common container types such as gaylord boxes, bulk bags or open top drums. The low profile scale platform allows for loading and unloading with pallet trucks.

Vibration system isolated with inflatable air bags isolates vibration and allows for very quick densification of the product in the container. Rotating removable chute controls the filling of up to four drums in sequence. Unit includes four pneumatically actuated release hooks to hold bulk bag straps and includes an inflatable seal for the bulk bag fill chute.

Allen Bradley PLC with operator touch screen interface gives the operator all the control they need for accurate filling and selection of features as needed. The operator simply selects the Mode of operation and the specific parameters are put into place.

Standard unit requires 120 VAC and 80 PSI plant air connections. Placing two units side by side allows for almost continuous filling of containers and the controller includes diverter controls to switch product from one stand to another once filling is completed.

System is designed to be portable via fork truck so it can easily be moved from station to station as needed.
