PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Via the feed hopper the product reaches in front of the cone lock. By opening the cone lock pressure chamber will be filled up to the maximum level. The filling process will be started automatically by opening the slide system, once a valve bag is put on the fillig spout – either manually or by using an automatic bag application. In order to avoid the bag „falling down“ from the filling spout during the filling process, a bag holding cylinder and a corresponding bag holding rubber are used to fasten the bag. By the use of air the product is conveyed from the pressure chamber into the turbine housing and finally delivered through the filling tube into the fixed valve bag. After the desired bag weight is achieved, the weighing machine starts to tare. Therewith the slide system will be closed and the filling process will be finished.
