Theconveyor delivers a full range of free-flowing and non-free-flowing materials and blended products with theconsistency and capacity needed for rapid bag filling, and the steady dribble-feed rates required for accurateweighments.Two configurations are offered: with filler mounted on load cells to measure weight gain of the entire bulk bag filler;and with weigh hoppers suspended above the filler, allowing higher filling rates through simultaneous recharging ofthe hopper and replacement of the bag.
