The Solution: Control and Metering and B & H analyzed the production requirements and proposed a solution based on a single filler with dual weighing systems. The filled packages would be automatically removed from the filler to meet the production rate.

Flexible Filling System

Features:

• Hang weighing for accurate bulk bag filling;

• Box weighing system integrated with filler conveyor system;

• Cone table densification for bulk bag stability;

• Box densification system integrated with filler conveyor system,

• Automated bag and box removal.

Benefits:

• ± 0.5 kg weighing accuracy;

• Safe and stable bulk bags; and,

• High fill rate.

The Result: Precise Weighing, Flexible Operation

The Cobra filling system with integral box filling shuttle provides extremely accurate weighing. The improvement in weighing accuracy compared with existing systems generates a significant saving of over $200,000 annually.

Bags are filled using the standard Cobra hang filling and cone table densification arrangement. This ensures that the bags are stable and safe. Boxes are filled on a motorized shuttle that indexes into the filler on which is mounted a vibration table and weigh deck. Recipes are software selectable and automatically reconfigure the filler to accommodate the selected package.

The Cobra is easy to use and allows for instantaneous changeover between packages.
