Packaging Machines
PFA has access to the right equipment for your bagging needs. We can help choose the right bag as well as assist in sizing.
Another important factor in bag filling is the design of the feed hopper to the bagging machine. Depending on product characteristics, bag fillers require proper feed hoppers to insure consistent flow and head pressure. Repeatable bag weights and speed need correct feed hopper.
Valve Bag Fillers
Valve Bag Fillers are basically divided into three styles. These are air, impeller, and auger valve bag packers. Each style has various models. Product, production rates and weight accuracy desired determine the best model to use.
All valve bag fillers are gross weighing and performance is greatly depending on product and proper feed hopper to filler. For best production rates, weight accuracy and minimal dust it is very important to have correct valve bags. This means they are sized for the product that is being filled and the type of construction of the bag, meaning paper, valve size, and if needed perforations. Proper bags are most important if using automatic bag placer.
Chantland Model 4210 PowderMatic Pneumatic Filler
It is a gross weigh bagger for either plastic or paper valve bags. Fill weight ranges from 25 lb to 110 lb bags with speeds of up to 16 bags per minute. Rates and accuracy are determined by bag weights and type of product. It is used in a variety of industries such as fertilizer, aggregates, seeds, minerals, building products, and many other non-abrasive products. It is available with a scale beam weigh system or electronic weigh and mild steel or stainless-steel product contact.
The chamber size is based on the bulk density of the product. It has an inlet butterfly valve that cycles with every bag and a discharge fill spout that is sized for the bag valve size. The chamber is gravity filled and when the bag starts the butterfly closes a pinch tube opens at fill spout and low-pressure high volume air is introduced so the product is blown into the bag. When the bag comes to weight, the product is cut-off at the fill spout and the butterfly valve opens. The size of the blower assembly is determined by the product and generally, they are 5hp or 7.5 hp. They have an inlet filter, silencer, weighted relief valve, and blower all mounted on an elevated stand. Piping to packers and motor controls are by others.

Chantland Model 2010 PS Pneumatic Filler
This is the premium air packer for filling abrasive and semi-abrasive products. These products include but are not limited to dry mixed concrete, block mortar, stucco, sand, sanded repair products, brick mortars, and minerals. The 2010 PS uses a low- pressure high- volume blower to pneumatically fill bags, pails, and drums. Rates for 50 lb. bags can be 18 per minute depending on the material. Weight accuracy is +-3 oz. to 6 oz. depending on the product and packer surge hopper.
The Plug Stack filler consists of a chamber with a column inlet, a discharge spout, a mechanical or electronic weigh system, and a low-pressure high-volume blower assembly. A constant head of material is required as the material is blown into the container and requires constant feed. The size of packer surge hopper is determined by the material.
