Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0751067A1] The machine for the automatic filling of folded plastics bags (1), with a liquid bulk product, has a support (2) to hold the stacked and folded bags (1). A carrier mechanism, moving to and fro, has one or more grips (4') at a support (5) which can shift vertically for positioning at the bag support (2) level. Other units (4") at the support move at the sides to distort the bags (1) while being moved to and fro. The bags (1) are accurately positioned, and grips hold the bags (1), together with a grip at the base by the valve, and pressure is applied to remove any memory of folding in the bag material. The valve is opened and held open, for the liquid to be fed into the bag. The filled bag vol. is controlled by permanent or temporary inflation, to give constant contents in each bag. A system carries the bags between the handling stages. The bags (1) are of low density polyethylene. A surface coating of a fluidised polymer on the support plates, or an air cushion, assists bag movements.
