Safe, efficient, accurate batching to poly bags

BEST has developed a twin-screw, poly-bag filling and net-weighing system that facilitates safe, accurate, efficient batching for rubber compounding and other processing operations

Bulk Equipment Systems Technology - BEST - has developed a twin-screw, poly-bag filling and net-weighing system that facilitates safe, accurate, efficient batching for rubber compounding and other processing operations.

The system eliminates labour-intensive handling of batching materials and ensures accurate amounts of materials in each batch.

System components include the BEST MTU-4000 bulk-bag unloader with two-ton electric hoist, powered trolley and powered agitation paddles; BEST Model TSF twin-screw feeder; and BEST Model PBC-50 portable poly-bag clamp/scale station.

Material flows from the bag to the bulk-bag unloader hopper.

The twin-screw feeder draws material from the hopper and feeds it into a polypropylene bag that sits on the scale.

When the bag reaches the predetermined weight, the pneumatic bag-clamping assembly seals the bag and the system is ready to repeat the process.

All process functions are coordinated through the BEST NEMA-rated programmable control system and a digital weight indicator.

BEST manufactures bulk-bag unloaders and loaders in a variety of sizes with a wide array of features to accommodate most applications.
