Inline Bag Fillers

The GEA Avapac IBF (Inline Bag Filler) range is designed to pack a wide variety of products at low to medium filling rates. The IBF range features a bottom-up filling system which maintains a constant distance between the outlet of the filler tube and the top of the powder in the bag. By doing this, the displacement of air is kept to a minimum and the resulting dust emissions are dramatically reduced over more conventional systems. This makes the GEA Avapac range of fillers very clean and safe in operation and the reduced product loss through better dust control means greater product yield for our customers.
