Valve Bag Filling Machines
Valve bag fillers are engineered to rapidly and accurately package a wide range of granular and powdered materials. Machines like this are typically used to bag cement, minerals, fertilizer, resins, chemicals, flour, sugar, starch, and wood. Valve baggers are also able to manage heavier loads starting at 20 lbs. up to 110 lbs. of material per bag. In addition to their versatility with substances and weight, they’re perfect for both low and high-volume production. That’s because valve bag fillers can be operated manually, semi-automatically, or as fully automated machines. Finally, they are very good at controlling spillage and dust emissions. This is due to their filling method of inserting a closely fitting spout into the bag valve or opening.

What are Valve Bag Fillers and what Types of Bags do They Use?
Valve bag fillers use pre-formed bags with a fill spout, or valve, in one corner 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 fillers from Choice Bagging are capable of filling 20-110 lb. (9-50KG) valve bags. They package flaked, powdery, 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 many different types of products. These include cement, concrete, minerals, fertilizer, resins, chemicals, flour, starch, feed, salt, sugar and wood. Frequently, valve bag fillers are referred to by names such as valve bag packing machines, valve bag packers, or air packers.

The 3 Types of Valve Bag Fillers
Air Packer Valve Bag Fillers:
Air Packers are occasionally referred to as Forced Flow or Pneumatic Packers. These valve bag fillers are often used to fill bags with free-flowing, low humidity materials. They include dry flakes, powders, and small-sized granules that cannot be heated, ground, or crushed.
Applications:
- mortars
- sugar
- calcium carbonate
- PVC pellets
- limestone
Impeller Packer Valve Bag Fillers:
Sometimes called Turbine Packers, Impeller Packers are valve bag fillers used for dry, fine, high bulk density powders. This includes materials that are 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 Packer Valve Bag Fillers:
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, bagging systems are configured with multiple valve bag filling machines in a row. These lines 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.
Further automation can be achieved with bag flattening conveyors, weight checkers, printers, metal detectors, and non-conforming bag rejection conveyors. Stretch film pallet wrappers are also helpful for load protection after bag palletizing. When optimally designed, systems like this reduce reliance on human labor and offer vastly increased productivity.
