Bulk Powder Fillers

GEA offers a range of Bulk Powder filling systems to suit a wide variety of product applications. Our range includes manual and semi-automated solutions that include conveyor or overhead carriage systems for bag handling.

GEA Bulk Powder fillers are designed to pack a wide variety of powdered products into flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC), bulk bags, big bags, jumbo bags, and super sacks, as well as rigid containers such as bins, boxes and totes. 

We offer three ranges of big bag fillers: the SmartFil, HYGiBulk and BBS series. Our solutions include fully manual operation - for low throughput with moderate bag handling and semi-automated solutions for higher throughput. The systems are configured according to the requirements of low, medium and high care area operation.

Features include top-weighing systems, bag inflation and base compaction for maximum filling efficiency. Our focus is on delivering a stable pack that reduces the risk of spillage and subsequent product loss and is also safe to handle and store.

Our design objectives include

  • efficient bag handling during filling
  • safety and minimal manual operation
  • bag stability during transportation
  • minimal room requirements and easy clean surfaces
  • flexibility for handling of variable bag types and sizes
  • maximum bag volume utilization.

Using a unique top weighing system, the GEA range of bulk bag fillers ensures reliable and accurate filling by eliminating the effect of bag inflation on final fill weight whilst removing the need to adjust the height of the filling head to suit different bag lengths.

An inert gas packing option means that GEA can provide solutions to extend the product shelf-life.
