FKP Model FK-10 Valve Bag Filler
 
Operation

The core of the bagger is a fluidizing hopper with an easy-drop plenum bottom and fast opening hopper outlet port. The air required to fluidize the product enters the plenum bottom and is scattered through the perforated fluidizing pad covering the plenum. With properly controlled fluidized air, the product flows freely from the hopper into the bag.

The upper product chamber of the bagger uses a positive sealing butterfly type product infed valve to close the top of the product chamber during the bag filling process. The chamber is then pressurized by either clean, compressed (plant) air, or by a low pressure/high volume positive blower. This added pressurization means faster filling, tighter packed bags, and better weight accuracy.

Scale and Weighing Mechanism
The weighing portion of the bagger, which includes the fill spout and bag support, is supported by flexure plates. The standard mechanical scale is a rugged, compact, entirely front mounted unit using only two inverted pivots and two beams. The bag weight is adjusted using counterweights within easy reach of the operator. An electronic scale is optional.
Construction
The Model FK-10 uses a heavy duty steel structured frame design which is only 19" wide. Multiple units may be stationed side-by-side. Additional units may be added as your production requirements increase.
Controls
All pneumatic controls are standard. Pneumatic electric controls are also available to interact with special circuitry requirements. Control components are mounted on a panel at the rear of the bagger and are protected by a lift-off cover for ease of access.
