Big bag filling station with conveyor

The main constraint on this project was the lack of precise information on the end customer, the product and the installation site. This was due to the fact that our American integrator customer had ordered ISERCO equipment for a final customer in the USA. However, through close communication and effective collaboration with our American contacts, we were able to design and deliver a filling station that met the requirements of the project.

This big bag filling station includes:

• A steel structure with rustproof paint.
• A ring duct connecting the existing process to the ISERCO filling station.
• An inflatable sleeve double pipe to ensure a complete seal to guarantee full sealing during the big bag filling. This unit consists of a double-skin system with a suction nozzle and a preforming nozzle for the big bag. Each spigot is fitted with a butterfly valve to optimise filling and the air extraction phase. The inflatable seal ensures total containment by pinching the big bag during the packaging phase. When inflating, the sleeve completely fits the filling chute of the big bag.
• A mobile frame allows the big bag to be extended during the filling phase. This extension is essential to prevent damming and blockage of the Big Bag.
• 2 forks, designed to remove Big Bags from pallets. They are delivered in pairs and are also adjustable in height and width.
• 4 automatic hooks for unhooking the handles from the big bag at the end of packaging, using a system of jacks. These automatic hooks are located on the forks of the mobile frame. The operator can lower the mobile frame to easily attach the hooks to the big bag handles. When filling is complete, the big bag is automatically unhooked and the operator can retrieve it in complete safety.
• A preforming fanTo avoid folds on the canvas of the Big Bag and to ensure the proper filling. The tipping from suction to inflation is ensured by the butterfly valves controlled by the control panel.
• A densification system incorporating a roller conveyor. The densification table ensures uniform filling of the big bag. Its vibration system helps to prevent arching. It deaerates and compacts the product and helps to stabilise the big bag on the pallet. This densification table is equipped with a conveyor system to transport the big bag to the customer’s next process after filling.
• A weighing system with load cells located under the station.
• A pneumatic box to start up the mobile frame, preforming fan and inflatable seal.

The filling station will not be assembled on site by us, as it will be sent to an integrator customer in the USA. As a result, the entire pneumatic network and electrical terminals are installed at the rear of the station. The entire cabling system is pre-assembled in ISERCO’s workshops. Once on site, the installers simply connect everything to the terminal blocks using the functional analysis provided by ISERCO. The station is then delivered to the customer in a pre-fabricated state to facilitate assembly on site.
