The Beumer fillpac has an advantage over its rivals. Filling accuracy.

The weighing unit communicates permanently with the filler neck via specific software. The automatic bag weight adjustment determines the exact filling weight of the bags, enabling exact degrees of filling during the filling process.

Users will no longer need to remove under or overweight bags from the line. And the quantity indicated on the bag always corresponds to the real volume.

The new machine can be flexibly integrated with existing packaging lines and can be optimally adapted to the customer's situation.

It is designed for capacities ranging from 300 to 6000 bags per hour and can fill various bag types. If equipped with a special bag placer, it can even fill HDPE bags. The three-position cylinder that regulates the coarse and fine flow is protected from dust, because it is positioned vertically and outside of the dirty area. The cylinder for bag discharging is also located in the dust-free zone above the filling spout. This solution minimises wear and tear on both cylinders and, therefore, ensures longer service life. The generous filling impeller reduces fill times, thus increasing throughput.

Almost all built-in components of the Beumer fillpac are freely available commercially. This reduces delivery times for spare parts and lowers capital costs for the user. The system is designed so that it is easily accessible for maintenance. The Beumer system is also equipped with an ergonomic control terminal, which makes work simple and intuitive.
