An automated bulk bag filler uses an integrated control system to inflate, tare, vibrate and fill the FIBC bulk bag. During filling, the automation stops and starts the flow of material and vibrates the bag at key points to achieve the desired weight and densification. Automatic bulk bag fillers increase bagging throughput and reduce the risk of human error in the fill process, thus increasing the fill accuracy and densification. Additionally, an automated bulk bag filler increases operator safety by removing the operator from being as actively involved in the fill cycle.
