Inline Bag Fillers Data Sheet
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.
