Q. How do we handle the FIBCs? | Q. What bag style and size do we use? | Q. How do we contain dust? | |||||||||||||||||
 | |||||||||||||||||||
A. By pallet or by bag loop. | A. At this stage, you should consult both the bag manufacturer and Spiroflow. The bag needs to optimize all of its volume for safe storage and transport. | A. An inflatable neck seal effectively contains the dust during filling. All our filling heads comprise an inner and outer annulus, for product flow and dust evacuation respectively. | |||||||||||||||||

Q. Can the equipment be adapted to fill other types of container? | Q. Does the product need vibration? | Q. Will we need a bag liner? | |||||||||||||||||
A. Usually, yes. Vibration at the base of the unit deaerates and compacts the product so it not only optimizes the bag volume, but forms a safe and stable load. A spinner head can also be used to disperse product into 'baffle' or compartmentalized bags. | A. If the product is very fine, you probaby will, to prevent leakage or moisture ingress.However, various alternatives can be used such as coated bags or special bag seams. The liner must be inflated correctly to avoid creasing and subsequent discharge problems. | ||||||||||||||||||
A. Yes. Spiroflow supplies a range of options for the filling of rigid bins, drums and Gaylords. | |||||||||||||||||||

Q. Will the equipment need to be grounded? | Q. Can automation improve my process? | ||||||||||||||||||
A. If the area poses an explosion risk, static dissipative or groundable bags may be recommended, together with a suitable static monitoring device. | A. If filling in volume, options such as pallet dispensers, automatic bag loop release, bag take-off abd accumulation conveyors should be considered, and can be added at a future date to standard Spiroflow equipment. | ||||||||||||||||||
