Bulk powder filler for food, dairy, and nutraceuticals
Optimize your bulk powder filling process with a system designed to ensure precise weighing, compaction, and dust-free sealing—crucial for maintaining product integrity in high-care environments.

Fills and Compacts Bulk Powders into Containers
The GEA HYGiBulk series, including the C1, C2, and C3 models, offers a tailored solution for filling bulk powders with precision and hygiene. Designed for food manufacturers, dairy producers, and nutraceutical companies, these systems excel in filling, weighing, and sealing processes to maintain product quality and packaging integrity.
The GEA HYGiBulk systems feature top weighing and base compaction methods, preventing creasing and ensuring maximum bag volume utilization. With capacities adaptable to low, medium, and high throughput environments, these systems efficiently handle applications like instant milk powder, whey protein, and vitamin supplements.
The semi-automatic operation is complemented by features such as an inflatable fill head for a dust-tight seal and customizable options including modified atmosphere packing and heat sealing. All models are compatible with various bag sizes through their adjustable systems, ensuring flexibility. The C3 model includes an optional HYGiLoad for automated handling and palletizing, making it ideal for high care areas requiring stringent hygiene standards.
Every unit is constructed with robust materials for durability and easy maintenance, supporting clean-in-place procedures to uphold sanitary conditions. With engineering support for custom configurations, the GEA HYGiBulk range integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, enhancing efficiency and output.
