Big Bag/Multi Pack Handling

Typically our big bag and multi pack handling systems are either connected to a snack food on machine seasoning system allowing multiple bags of same or different flavours to be packed in big bags or sacs, or we take packets from bulk storage hoppers connected to primary packaging machines and transfer to and from big back packing systems.

Either system involves elevating the packets; traditionally pneumatic conveying would have been used but with recent packet material changes flighted belt elevators are now used to avoid damage to bags in transit.

In certain circumstances we have designed and manufactured vibratory conveying systems that transport just one flavour type to multiple big bag stations. Transfer to each outlet is achieved using the innovative Autoflow Plus vibratory distribution system which has no mechanically operated gates, instead by powerful electro-magnetic drives to gently steer the product towards and away from the outlet. The choice of conveying system and the conveying surface is important here to ensure zero product damage.

KMG big bag and multi pack handling lines can be found in over thirty countries, particularly in the Middle East where sacs prove popular with supermarket customers. All our systems are tailor made to each specific client application.
