Applicon builds systems for weigh filling powders, granules and blends, into bag, box, bucket, tote, tray, octabin, bulk box, or gaylord box. Systems can be manual, or semi-manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic, and can include:
• Portable bins or stationary product hoppers
• Screw feeders, twin screw feeders, vibratory or oscillating feeders, or combination auger/vibratory.
• Single or multiple net weigh scale hoppers operating, with blending effected in transit between the scales and the container.
• Multi-ingredient tumble blending immediately above filling.
• Bottom up filling, to either to limit particle segregation or reduce fluffing / fluidization of powders.
• Vertical auger filling, also used for filling from the bottom up, and
• Vibrated filling, to de-aerate or densify in the container. This works best when used with a pre-weighed batch, but can also be done with a gross weigh scale, at a slower rate.
• Digital load cells for very high scale resolution.
• Empty container queuing and conveying.
• Manual or automated liner insertion station
• Filled container de-aerating, lidding, closing, or sealing.
• Filled container handling and accumulation.
• Manual manipulator, automated pick & place, or robotic palletizing.
