Customized big bag weighing scales and filling stations
We design and manufacture big bag weighing scales and filling stations tailored to your needs for both commercial and non-commercial use. We always give you complete service from design to manufacturing and maintenance. When designing and manufacturing the big bag weighing scales, we always take your needs into account. For example, the material to be bagged must be known before choosing which bag and bagging method best suits your needs.
Big bag filling stations
Big bag filling stations are used to fill large bags of materials and products. The products can be process intermediates that are transferred to an interim warehouse to await final processing, or the final product delivered to the customer. The big bag filling station does not necessarily have to be equipped with weighing sensors, if the filling level of the bag can also be determined differently.
Solutions for different needs
We have delivered hundreds of big bagging equipment to factories in the food, chemical, construction and metal industries, for example. All dry, well-flowing materials are suitable for bagging. For example: fertilizers, animal feed, flakes, cereals, sugar, metallurgical concentrates (copper, nickel, zinc, cobalt, etc.), wood pellets, floor screeds, cement, circulating products, soil, peat, etc.
Our versatile big bag weighing solutions are perfectly adapted to different needs.
Big bag weighing scales for commercial and non-commercial purposes
The scale is in commercial use when the weighing result is used to determine the price of a product or service. The structure and operation of the scale must meet certain criteria, which are determined by laws, directives and many other standards. The design and implementation of scale-related automation is not as straightforward as in the case of a non-commercial scale. The design of a commercial scale therefore requires a different level of expertise than the basic process scale in order to meet the legal requirements.
Commercial weighing
Where the scale produces a weighing slip according to which the customer is billed:
in specific weights (eg 1000 kg ± 50 g)
in non-specific weights (eg 997 kg ± 50 g, 1001.8 kg ± 50 g), so big bags weigh about 1000 kg.
Non-commercial weighing
Where the balance produces a weighing document but is not acceptable as a billing basis.
Big bag weighing scale modernization
We also do modernizations of older big bagging scales into modern automatic bagging stations. After the change, it must comply with the EU type-examination certificate and the sensors must have a test certificate. Contact us when it is time to modernize or repair an old big bag scale.
