Jumbo bags (FIBCs) are widely used for transporting and storing large quantities of powders, granules, and bulk solids. Jumbo bag filling systems are designed to safely, efficiently, and accurately fill these bags while maintaining product quality and hygiene.

Why Use a Jumbo Bag Filling System?

Manual filling of jumbo bags can be slow, inconsistent, and prone to spillage or contamination. A dedicated filling system:

  • Ensures accurate bag weight
  • Reduces dust generation and product loss
  • Minimises operator fatigue and safety risks
  • Maintains product hygiene
  • Speeds up production and improves throughput

Particularly important for food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and feed industries where hygiene and product integrity are critical.

Key Benefits of Jumbo Bag Filling Systems

  1. Accurate and Consistent Filling
    Integrated weighing systems and flow control allow precise bag weight, ensuring uniformity for shipping, storage, or downstream processing.
  2. Hygienic and Dust-Free Operation
    With dust hoods, filters, and enclosed discharge systems, bag filling reduces contamination risks and keeps the production environment clean. EHEDG-compliant designs are available for sensitive products.
  3. Safe and Ergonomic Handling
    Bag lifting frames, hoists, and clamps allow operators to fill heavy jumbo bags (typically 500–2,000 kg) safely, reducing the risk of injury or repetitive strain.
  4. Flexible Material Compatibility
    Jumbo bag fillers can handle powders, granules, pellets, and even cohesive or sticky materials, maintaining product integrity.
  5. Integration with Production Lines
