The GEA Avapac RBF (Rotary Bag Filler) range is designed to pack a wide variety of products at high filling rates. The RBF 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. PLC control with touch-panel operation allows complete control of the packing line from the filler, whilst multiple product configurations held in the control system take care of a wide variety of packing parameters for multiple products. All RBF product contact parts are constructed of stainless steel, making them ideal for both dairy and food ingredient products.
