Filling solution boosts baby food production

Manufacturer of conveying and weighing systems Spiroflow has boosted productivity at a household name baby food manufacturer by installing a bulk bag (FIBC) filler and vacuum conveyor system to significantly reduce the need for manual handling.

The company specified a bulk bag (FIBC) filler for various infant formulas and powders. The equipment is manufactured entirely of stainless steel with automatic height adjustment for different sized bags, and offers bag inflation and a vibration facility for an even, accurate fill and effective compaction – resulting in a stable load for both storage and transportation.

Completing the ATEX approved conveying and bulk handling solution is a gas flushing connection and vacuum conveyor system for the safe, accurate and dust-free filling and transportation of powdered milk.

Deploying a filling machine for bulk bags and vacuum conveyor system for transporting the product is saving the company the equivalent of 40 25kg sacks per filling and reducing handling downstream, as the product is emptied automatically rather than manually.
