Low care bulk powder fillers
Optimize your production efficiency by accurately filling flexible bulk containers with dry powders and granulated materials, ensuring precise weighing and stable packing, while minimizing spillage and maximizing product integrity.
Fills and Weighs Bulk Powders in FIBCs
The SmartFil BBF and HYGiBulk C1 from GEA are low-care, flexible bulk container (FIBC) filling systems designed for food, dairy, and nutraceutical industries. These systems efficiently pack a wide range of powdered and granulated products, from infant formula to vitamin supplements. The SmartFil BBF offers an entry-level manual solution with a simple stainless steel frame and optional weighing, ideal for low-throughput operations. Meanwhile, the HYGiBulk C1 provides semi-automatic functionality with enhanced features such as bag suspension during filling, a height-adjustable compaction base, and the ability to incorporate Modified Atmosphere Packing. Both models ensure precise and reliable filling through a unique top weighing system, minimizing product loss and ensuring stable packaging. With a filling capacity of up to 5 metric tonnes per hour, these systems integrate seamlessly into existing production lines, allowing for customization in bag size and configuration. Engineered for ease of use and maintenance, they feature options for rotary valve or vibrating conveyor feeding systems and optional heat sealers for secure bag closure.
