Automatic bulk material filling system
Ensure precise, contamination-free filling of various bulk materials with an advanced system designed for seamless integration into continuous production lines.

Fills, Weighs, and Doses Bulk Materials
Hosokawa Solids Solutions offers a range of industrial filling devices, including the Filling Chutes TLB and TLC types, the Big Bag Filling Device BFA/BFM Type, and the Drum Filling Device. These devices enhance bulk material handling with precision and reliability. The TLB and TLC filling chutes feature dust-free docking for seamless loading into lorries or railway cars, perfectly suited for abrasive products. The BFA/BFM Type excels with a user-friendly suspension device and a dust-proof SST docking system, ensuring minimal maintenance and reliable operations. The Drum Filling Device offers universal discharge with robust components designed for low-effort cleaning.
These filling systems are essential for applications in industries such as food processing, chemicals, and recycling, handling end-products from cornflakes to recycled plastic pellets. With a focus on effective automation, they integrate seamlessly into existing production lines through PLC-controlled operations, accurately managing the dosage and weighing of powders, granules, and solid bulk materials. The equipment can be calibrated as SWA or SWE scale, ensuring high accuracy and reproducibility, and complies with relevant industry standards, offering customizable configurations to meet specific material handling needs.
