Valve Bag Filling Machines

Valve bag fillers are designed to rapidly and accurately package a wide range of granular and powdered materials. Typical products they bag include cement, minerals, fertilizer, resins, chemicals, flour, sugar, starch, and wood. Capable of packing 20-110 lbs. of material per bag, these machines are well-suited for manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic manufacturing applications. They work by inserting a spout into the bag valve or opening during filling to control spillage and dust emissions.

What are Valve Bags and How Do They Work? 

Valve bags are pre-formed with a fill spout, or valve, in one corner to allow for fast and easy filling. After the bag is filled, the valve’s inner flap functions as a self-closing check with no secondary sealing required. On a worldwide basis, the versatile valve bag is used more than any other bag type. This is because the valve sleeve can be manufactured in a variety of styles for different applications. They include poly, tuck-in, heat seal, and sonic-seal valve sleeves. Valve bags can also be equipped with PE-free film or PE-liners when enhanced moisture protection is needed. Valve bag machines from Choice Bagging are capable of filling 20-110 lbs. (9-50KG) valve bags with flaked, powdery, and/or granular products at rates up to 24 bags per minute or 1,440 per hour.

Applications & Names for Valve Bag Fillers

Valve bag filling machines are most commonly used to bag products like cement, concrete, minerals, fertilizer, resins, chemicals, flour, starch, feed, salt, sugar and wood. They’re most frequently referred to as valve bag packing machines, valve bag packers, or air packers.

The 3 Types of Valve Bag Fillers

Air Packers:

Sometimes referred to as Forced Flow or Pneumatic Packers, Air Packers are often used for filling bags with free-flowing, low humidity, dry flakes, powders & small size granules that cannot be heated, ground, or crushed. 

Applications:

  • mortars
  • sugar
  • calcium carbonate
  • PVC pellets
  • limestone

Impeller Packers:

Sometimes called Turbine Packers, Impeller Packers are used for dry, high bulk density powders at 200 mesh or finer where crushing or fineness are not concerns.

Applications:

  • fly ash
  • carbon black
  • portland and masonry cement
  • kaolin
  • clay
  • graphite
  • silica
  • activated carbon

Auger Packers:

Often called Screw Baggers, Auger Baggers are designed for flakes, powders, pellets, granules, and fibrous material.

Applications:

  • cellulose
  • fiber
  • compost
  • flour
  • insulation
  • limestone
  • minerals
  • pepper
  • pigment
  • plastic pellets
  • resins
  • crumbled rubber
  • salt
  • sand
  • sawdust
  • bakery mixes

Advanced Systems with Valve Bag Filling Machines

For high-volume production environments, valve bagging systems are configured with multiple bag filling machines in a row. The line can also be supplemented with automatic bag placers and automated robotic bag palletizing systems. Systems like this can bag and stack up to 1,440 bags per hour, per line.

The line can be further automated by adding bag flattening conveyors, weight checkers, bag printing systems, metal detection systems, and non-conforming bag rejection conveyors. Stretch wrappers and pallet wrappers are also available for applying load protection after bag palletizing. Systems like this reduce reliance on human labor and provide vastly increased productivity.
