Abstract
A system for filling of big bags of various heights with material and a method for adjusting thereof, wherein a big bag is to be placed with its filling spout around an outer pipe and the bottom of the big bag rests on and underlying surface. The outer pipe is telescopically engaged to a feed pipe. The feed pipe is in sections extendible. The feed pipe is designed to fill a determined quantity of material in a vertical stream from an overlying dosage unit via the outer pipe and down into the big bag. The feed pipe at its upper connection includes at least one radial continous interface surface design to attach to another feed pipe's downward facing rim or to the underside of the dosage unit.
Claims8
A system for filling of one or more big bags with material, the system comprising:
- a feed pipe having a bottom rim;
- an outer pipe, wherein the outer pipe is telescopically attached to the feed pipe, and wherein the outer pipe is movable to a position corresponding to the height of the big bag;
- an underlying surface configured to support the bottom of the big bag;
- an overlying dosage unit coupled to the feed pipe and configured for storage of the material;
- wherein a connection of the feed pipe to the overlying dosage unit has a radial continuous interface surface that is attached to a bracket on the overlying dosage unit;
- wherein the feed pipe coupled to the overlying dosage unit is configured to add a measured amount of the material in a vertical stream from the overlying dosage unit via the outer pipe and into the big bag;
- wherein the system is configured for retaining a neck of the big bag in an airtight seal around the feed pipe having the telescopically attached outer pipe;
- and
- wherein the system is configured to adjust the distance between the bottom rim of the feed pipe and the overlying dosage unit when changing from a big bag having a first height between the underlying surface and the neck of the big bag to a different height big bag having a second height between the underlying surface and the neck of the big bag.
