The Bagging Machine for Fine Granular Products
Automating the bagging of fine granular products is a major challenge for many industries. Materials such as S-PVC, plastic granules, sugar, seeds, and food ingredients require systems capable of operating at high speed without compromising accuracy, minimizing dust generation, and ensuring a perfect bag seal.
To meet these requirements, TMI has developed the ILERBAG HF, a high-speed horizontal FFS bagging machine designed to deliver maximum performance in demanding industrial applications.
What is a horizontal FFS bagging machine?
A FFS (Form Fill Seal) bagging machine forms the bag directly from a tubular plastic film roll, fills it with product, and seals it automatically in a single continuous process.
This technology offers several advantages:
- Reduced packaging material costs.
- Increased productivity.
- Improved finished bag quality.
- Fully automated bagging process.
The ILERBAG HF takes this concept a step further with an optimized design for handling free-flowing fine granular products at production rates of up to 1,000 bags per hour.
Designed for challenging products
Not all materials behave the same during the bagging process.
Very fine products generate dust, present flowability challenges, and require extremely precise dosing control.
The ILERBAG HF has been specifically developed for applications such as:
- S-PVC
- PVC
- Plastic granules
- Chemical products
- Sodium bicarbonate
- Sugar
- Flour
- Semolina
- Powdered milk
- Cocoa
- Seeds
- Cereals
- Pet Food
- Ingredients and additives
Its advanced feeding system ensures consistent and accurate dosing, even when operating at maximum production capacity.
High speed without sacrificing accuracy
In many industrial processes, increasing production speed often comes at the expense of weighing accuracy.
The ILERBAG HF overcomes this challenge through an optimized product flow control system that maintains consistent bag weights even at production rates of up to 1,000 bags per hour.
This results in:
- Reduced product giveaway.
- Lower product waste.
- Greater process stability.
- Reduced operating costs.
Clean filling process with minimum dust
One of the biggest challenges when handling fine materials is controlling dust emissions.
The ILERBAG HF incorporates a high-efficiency cyclonic dust recovery system that minimizes emissions while recovering valuable product that would otherwise be lost during the filling process.
The benefits include:
- Cleaner working environment.
- Reduced cleaning requirements.
- Higher product recovery.
- Improved plant safety.
Reliable sealing for maximum product protection
Bag sealing is one of the most critical stages in any bagging line.
The ILERBAG HF features a patented impulse sealing system with cooling technology, ensuring strong, consistent seals even in high-speed production environments.
The result is:
- Perfectly sealed bags.
- Reduced transport-related incidents.
- Enhanced product protection.
Greater energy efficiency
Productivity also means reducing energy consumption.
The ILERBAG HF incorporates:
- Regenerative braking drives.
- Optimized components with reduced inertia.
- An energy-efficient design that minimizes electrical consumption.
These features help reduce energy costs per bag while improving the overall efficiency of the production line.
Compact, robust, and easy to maintain
The machine has been designed with daily maintenance in mind.
Its structure provides:
- Easy access to all components.
- Hygienic design without product accumulation points.
- Faster cleaning operations.
- Reduced downtime.
Its compact footprint also makes it one of the most compact horizontal FFS bagging machines in its class, simplifying integration into both new and existing production lines.
A solution adaptable to every industry
The ILERBAG HF can be configured with a wide range of options to meet each customer’s specific requirements, including:
- Bag labeling and marking systems.
- Product compaction systems.
- Air extraction before sealing.
- ATEX versions for hazardous environments.
- Stainless steel construction.
- Hygienic finishes for the food industry.
- Fully enclosed frame.
- Product recovery systems.
- Mobile platforms.
- High-capacity bag magazines.
This flexibility allows the machine to be integrated into fully automated and customized bagging lines.
