The art of bagging dry bulk

摘要

Bagging up dry bulk materials is common in logistics chains. End-users often require smaller quantities of a given material to reduce inventory and meet the demands of just-in-time production. Bulk materials are usually loaded into sacks, flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs or 'bulk bags'), or drums. However, transferring materials into smaller containers like these is not as easy as one might think at first sight. Take the filling of bulk bags. There are a variety of methods and machines that can be used, and operators can choose to fill either by weight or by volume, depending on the application.
