Valve Bag Fillers

Valve Bag Fillers

Valve bag fillers weigh, fill, and seal different types and sizes of bags and containers with flaked, powdery, and granular products using compressed air, impellers, augers, or gravity fed spouts. The filling spout is totally enclosed during the fill cycle which minimizes spill and dust emissions.

These types of machines fill valve bags weighing 20 to 110 lbs. at rates of up to 12 bags per minute. Fill rates can increase up to 24 bags per minute depending on the type of material and number of valve bag filling equipment and machines. There are many different types of valve bag fillers including manual, semi-automatic, and automatic versions. Once the bags have been filled and sealed, they are conveyed to a station where the bags are palletized, stacked, and wrapped for shipping, storage, and sale.

These valve bag filling machines are used to fill 50 Lb. paper valve bags with different types of high-quality silica sand.  After filling, bags are conveyed to an automatic palletizer that stacks the bags on a pallet.

This type of silica sand is a high-quality round and sub-round silica sand with mesh sizes ranging between 8×16 and 100.  It has many uses including:

  • turf sand used for infill to protect artificial turf and increase its life expectancy
  • roofing sand for specialty roofing tiles, flooring titles, and colored grout
  • building and industrial sands as an ideal base for construction, concrete, bricks, foundry, and flooring
  • water filtration sand used in wells, filters, and other water fixtures
  • glass sand for large quantity glass production
  • oil and gas hydraulic fracturing sand

End-of-line robot picking up 100 lb. bag of minerals using a bag gripper tool

A contract packaging company recently added an end-of-line robot to their existing valve bag filling system.  The new robotic palletizing system includes bag handling and robotic pick conveyors, a used Fanuc robotic arm that has been reconditioned with a bag gripper tool, and an automated pallet and slip sheet dispenser.

With the added palletizing automation, the entire system is now able to fill and stack 100 lb. paper valve bags at a rate of 10-12 bags/minute.  The company can also quickly swap out settings to fill and stack 50 lb. valve bags at a rate of 15-16 bags/minute.
