Optimised filling technology with the BEUMER fillpac:

The intralogistics professional has expanded its product portfolio with

the BEUMER fillpac filling machine offering, as single-source provider,

equipment and systems for packaging lines from one source. The new machine

can be flexibly integrated with existing packaging lines and can be

optimally adapted to the customer''s situation. What makes the BEUMER

fillpac unique is a specific weighing electronics which ensures the weight

accuracy of the bags. Rejects caused by too high or too low filling

weights can nearly be excluded.

The BEUMER fillpac is equipped with a weighing unit that communicates

permanently with the filler neck via a specific software. The automatic

bag weight adjustment determines the exact filling weight of the bags,

thus enabling the exact degrees of filling during the filling process. The

user can design his packaging lines more efficiently as it is no longer

necessary to remove under or overweight bags from the line. In addition,

the quantity indicated on the bag always corresponds to the real volume.

The BEUMER fillpac is designed for capacities ranging from 300 to 6,000

bags per hour and can fill various bag types. If equipped with a special

bag placer, it can even fill HDPE bags. The three-position cylinder that

regulates the coarse and fine flow is protected from dust, because it is

positioned vertically and outside of the dirty area. The cylinder for bag

discharging is also located in the dust-free zone above the filling spout.

This solution minimises wear and tear on both cylinders and, therefore,

ensures longer service life.

Almost all built-in components of the BEUMER fillpac are freely available

commercially. This reduces delivery times for spare parts and lowers

capital costs for the user. Also, the system is designed so that it is

easily accessible for maintenance. The generously dimensioned filling

impeller reduces fill times, thus increasing throughput. The BEUMER system

is also equipped with an ergonomic control terminal. The improved

human-machine interface concept makes work simple and intuitive.

Furthermore, BEUMER has designed the system in a way that individual

customer requirements or special wishes can be implemented flexibly and

cost-effectively.
