Limited Intervention Powder Fillers

Limited Intervention Filling

In today’s world the safety of our customer's personnel and their product are paramount. That is why we designed the ‘Li’ system to be an extension of the automated powder manufacturing process.

The ‘Li’ system delivers a safe, hygienic bag handling and filling solution for powdered products offering the highest levels of accuracy and reliability. The system is designed to run with low operator input, with the only manual requirement being for cleaning and maintenance. The high operational efficiency of the system virtually eliminates the need for a full time operator inside the packing room, leaving the them free to attend to other areas of the production process.

With our many years of experience in the powder filling market, GEA has shown that in order to maintain a process in a steady state, total control is required.

The design of the ‘Li’ system addresses this by fully controlling the bag throughout the entire bag filling and closing process. In doing this we can be confident that, apart from the operator loading a product recipe and starting the machine, the built in automation takes control to maximize the machine output and thus allows the entire filling area to be fully enclosed. This fully enclosed system means that the risk to product and operation is virtually eliminated.

Key Features include:

• Bag Control - Bag top positively held during entire filling and closing process;
• Operator Exclusion - Controlling the bag eliminates the need for an operator to touch unfilled bags, therefore risk of product contamination is greatly reduced;
• Single machine with integrated functionality from powder in-feed to sealed bag output; 
• Enclosed filling area - fully enclosed to prevent dust migration, while ensuring product and operator safety;
• Automated machine adjustments to suit specific product types and bag sizes;
• Bag De-couple Shuttle - Is utilized to transfer the bag to the heat sealer, eliminating the need for bag top leveling;
• Integrated feedback weighing of sealed bag, enabling Auto-tune function for greater and consistent operational accuracy;
• Provision for Automatic Bag De-palletizing System.
