High care bulk powder fillers
Ensure hygienic packaging for your bulk powders with a system designed to enhance filling accuracy and stability, while optimizing floor space and minimizing contamination risk in your high-care production environments.

Fills and Seals Bulk Powder Bags
The BBS-D and BBS-S Bulk Powder Filling Systems from GEA are engineered to meet the high hygiene demands of the food, dairy, and nutraceutical sectors. These systems excel in processing dry, free-flowing powders into Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) with robust filling accuracy. Capable of throughput up to 12 metric tonnes per hour, these systems feature a semi-automatic double or single operating station with options for modified atmosphere packing and heat sealing to extend product shelf life.
The BBS series utilizes a top weighing technology and overhead carriage mechanism that ensures the bags are suspended, preventing contamination and optimizing the use of bag volume. In the BBS-D model, the system seamlessly transfers filled bags from the high care area to the palletizing zone, streamlining the workflow and maintaining cleanliness by eliminating the need for pallets in the filling area.
These systems are particularly valuable for filling products such as milk powder, protein powders, nutraceutical capsules, and other fine powders. Constructed with high-quality materials designed for ease of cleaning, they ensure minimal dusting and offer optional features like inert gas packing. GEA’s solutions integrate easily into existing production lines, ensuring compliance with industry-specific standards and providing reliable engineering support for customized requirements.
