Bulk Bag Fillers

Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC’s) or Bulk Bags are an excellent and efficient method for packaging, storing and handling a very broad range of products in use by almost every type of market or industry.

When transporting bulk bags filled with a product, they are easily removed from a truck or trailer, fork lifted or conveyed exactly where they are needed, and then quickly emptied when and where desired. In some applications they are emptied directly into the processing equipment. Customers use the FIBC’s for shipping, storing and dispensing products. Standard or special spouts can be made to order to ensure quick, no-spill filling or discharge of contents. The application list and usage is endless.

Note:

Most of our standard bulk bag inventory will have 14” diameter x 18” length Fill spout & Discharge spout, with spout tie off’s. It is an industry standard.

Spouts, both top and bottom are always being customized to customer and application specs based on filling equipment, etc. We can custom make bags with custom spouts In 5 to 7 weeks.
