The filling process is the grand finale of your value chain. It is where your product is prepared for the market—securely packaged, accurately weighed, and professionally presented. At B&K Wäge- und Anlagentechnik, we offer filling technology that makes no compromises. We combine proven standard machines with individually engineered solutions to ensure that every container shape and every material—whether powder, granule, or liquid—is handled optimally.
1. Unlimited Versatility: Our Container Solutions We adapt our technology to your packaging, not the other way around. Our portfolio covers the entire spectrum of industrial packaging:
-
Bag Filling: Whether open-mouth bags, valve bags, laminated variants, or those with PE-inlets, we ensure dust-free and stable filling.
-
BIG-BAGs (FIBC): For handling bulk containers, we offer robust stations that guarantee safe filling, compaction, and closure.
-
Octabins & Grid Boxes: Specifically for the plastics and chemical industries, we implement solutions that utilize these large-volume containers with maximum efficiency.
-
Drums & Canisters: From automatic feeding to the precise filling of steel or plastic drums.
-
Bottles & Small Containers: We also provide precise dosing and filling solutions for smaller units.
2. The Technology: Gross vs. Net Weighing Depending on your requirements for speed and accuracy, we select the appropriate weighing principle with you:
-
Net Filling: Here, the product is dosed and weighed in a weigh hopper before being discharged into the bag. The advantage: Highest cycle times and precision, as the container weight does not influence the measurement. Ideal for high-performance lines.
-
Gross Filling: The product is weighed directly inside the container. This solution is often more space-saving and ideal for difficult-to-handle products or lower throughput requirements.
3. Specialty: Combination Systems for Maximum Flexibility In modern production facilities, packaging types often change. B&K develops intelligent Combination Systems capable of processing multiple container types at a single station.
-
The Concept: A single machine that fills 25kg bags in the morning and can be converted to handle Big-Bags or drums in the afternoon with just a few adjustments.
-
Your Advantage: You save valuable production floor space and investment costs since you don’t need a dedicated machine for every single container type.
4. Tailored to Your Industry We understand that food products have different requirements than construction materials.
-
Hygiene & Cleaning: For pharma and food applications, we offer systems in hygienic design (stainless steel) that are easy to clean.
-
Safety: For explosive dusts or solvents, we naturally provide fully ATEX-compliant versions.
-
Product Protection: Sensitive granules are handled gently to minimize abrasion and particle degradation during the filling process.
5. Integration & Periphery A filling machine rarely stands alone. Upon request, we integrate the entire peripheral equipment:
-
Container Handling: Pallet magazines, roller conveyors, and automatic transport systems.
-
Closure Technology: Sewing lines, welding systems, or sealing units for absolute tightness.
-
Marking: Integration of labelers and printers for batch numbers and expiration dates.
