Bigbag filling
Fully automatic bigbag filling systems through robotization offer significant advantages in terms of speed, accuracy, and safety compared to manual filling methods
Automatic bag filling machines that saves you time and save production costs
By automating a packaging line, the working environment is notably improved. Monotonous and repetitive work can be avoided, and by reducing the need for manual product handling you also reduce the risk of the operator’s exposure to dust and hazardous chemicals.
Automatic production significantly optimizes your packaging line.
By optimizing your packaging line you will increase efficiency, minimize downtime, and enhance the quality, which in the end, provides you with a competitive advantage within your industry. Many companies look in that direction, as it is often difficult to find qualified labour.
- Complete your packaging line with a wrapping solution
- Efficient handling of palletized goods
- Safe and cost-efficient transportation of goods
" Our fully automatic bigbag filling systems are designed to handle various bulk materials so that your production line is made more efficient.
In addition to streamlining your production, your working environment is improved with a fully automated system."
Since 2015 we have developed fully automatic systems for 1, 4 and 5 loop bigbags (FIBC) resulting in different patents for the solutions.
PanPac’s fully automatic bigbag filling systems are designed to fill large bags efficiently and precisely with various types of free-flowing bulk materials such as powders, granules, or pellets, and our systems are extensively used in industries such as agriculture, chemical, petrochemical, mining, battery, and animal feed.
We have a proven functionality through the many solutions we have delivered worldwide. The standard PanPac component choice from high-quality suppliers gives our manufactured equipment a high up time, resulting in a highly effective production for our customers.
