Bigbag filling
Automatic, hygienic and low construction height
After spray drying, the customer wanted a quick and efficient bigbag filling. Mostly a reversing auger or a Y-pipe with a two-way valve is used, where simultaneously the full bigbag is exchanged with an empty, while the other bigbag is being filled.
However, there can be several problems with augers and Y-pipes. Firstly, they require significant extra construction height, which sometimes is an impossibility. Secondly, sometimes the product is so fragile that it cannot go through a screw or and y-pipe with two-way valve. Finally, the problem is that both augers and two-way valves can never be considered 100% sanitary, i.e. some cross-contamination will occur.
