AZO filling of small containers with integrated weighing device
AZO filling of small containers with integrated weighing device

Filling of small containers with integrated weighing device

AZO has been supplying automatic systems for mixer feeding for decades. There is already a plethora of solutions for this. The goal of developments in the field of filling and packaging was to offer a flexible system for producers of speciality products in small to medium batch sizes. Especially at a time when batches of products are becoming ever smaller, fast and straightforward retooling from one receptacle to another is called for in plants. The modular station exhibited at Powtech by AZO allows gravimetric filling of products in small to medium-size batches. The focus here is on easy cleaning, a high level of versatility and fast retooling to accommodate different small containers like tubs, drums, boxes with inliners, bags and sacks.
The base station can be supplemented with a DA-type cyclone screener, which may be used simultaneously for dosing, and/or with metal detectors for final inspection of the product. Various modules for sealing sacks, for example bonding and sack sewing machines, are also available. The filling heads for docking the most diverse receptacles without generating dust range from inflatable rings to inflatable collars and foam ring seals.

AZO’s filling station enables our customers to switch over receptacles within two minutes. The integrated weighing device can be calibrated, it has a weighing range of 50kg and has a division of 10g increments. Actual dosing accuracy depends on the size of the dosing unit and the flow properties of the bulk material in use. Typical values here are +/- 10 g to +/- 50 g. Capacity of the filling station: depending on the form and size of the receptacle as well as on the number of operators, it is possible to fill and close the receptacle in 1-2 minutes. A standard throughput rate for the system is 1 receptacle per min. The roller conveyor serves as a support surface and for horizontal transport of the receptacles to the filling point, and from there onto the next module – on our exhibition stand, this is a module for bonding sacks. It is also possible to implement partial automation of filling.

In introducing this system, we are responding to trends for ever smaller batches of products, applications that can be calibrated, rapid changeover from one product to another as well as from one type of receptacle to another. If there is a requirement for contaminant-free solutions, the ingredients can also be metered straight into a container on a mobile scales. The floor scales move fully automatically to the specified dosing points. There is an additional option of adding micro quantities with maximum accuracy by using AZODOS® negative weighing systems. Transfer of raw materials takes place without contact and there is little generation of dust thanks to a special gasket with aspiration in accordance with the raw material. As soon as the entire batch is complete, a batch report is generated and the container is transferred to the discharge point for further processing.

NEW: Modular big bag discharge station Cost-effective and versatile
NEW: Modular big bag discharge station
Cost-effective and versatile Flexible bulk materials receptacles such as big bags have become firmly established for handling powders in a variety of branches. They have clear advantages over sacks when it comes to transporting and storing bulk materials. They are environmentally friendly, require less operating staff and storage space and reduce costs for transport and processes. AZO big bag discharge stations make it possible to discharge big bags without generating excess dust and to feed products reliably into the closed production plant. To improve efficiency and reduce costs even further, AZO has developed a modular concept for a big bag discharge station. The required components such as frame, support beams, chain hoist, discharging aids, big bag docking system, buffer bin and discharging unit can be chosen from a “construction set”, depending on the requirements. The entire discharge station can be configured to suit needs without outlay for design, which has a very positive effect

Dry cleaning of containers – a clean solution
Dry cleaning – environmentally friendly and effective The ingenious design makes it possible to automatically clean containers that have been contaminated inside with product residue and dust. Thanks to the umbrella-like mechanism, it is also possible to clean containers with small inlet apertures, as the cleaning unit only unfolds once it is inside the container. The design can thus be adapted to virtually any geometric shape of rotationally symmetrical hoppers. Water is frequently used for cleaning containers. This necessitates expensive washing chambers and drier units, which need to be installed in separate parts of the building. Therefore, wet cleaning results in the containers being out of production for a longer time in order to carry out the cleaning and subsequent drying processes. In most cases, however, dry cleaning the containers is totally sufficient to remove any product residue reliably. This type of cleaning provides quite a few advantages if contrasted with wet cleaning. Since no water is used, the station

AZO®Plus – Get more information
Everything in one place – the new information platform from AZO gives you important information about your machines and systems. Use an RFID or a QR Code reader to identify the component you need, and you will get all the relevant data in a single app: operating and maintenance instructions, installation videos, certifications and other important documents, online shop for spare parts, electrical wiring diagrams and more. It is sadly still often the case in many manufacturing companies that operating instructions and plant documentation live out a lonely existence in a cupboard somewhere. Other documents, such as the spare parts catalogue, might be in the procurement department – locked up and out of sight. And installation videos? No chance! As a result, the need for maintenance personnel to access these important documents at any time is often unintentionally denied. AZO is coming to the rescue with its new information platform, AZO®Plus. Each component

Secure product feeding through integrated screening
AZO feeding hopper type ET... AZO feeding hopper type ET...VS GA with integrated vibrating perforated sheet and evacuation of coarse materials The hopper serves to feed bulk solids in powdered and granular form into closed materials handling systems, such as pneumatic conveying systems. Products can be fed from sacks, boxes, barrels or similar receptacles. As different branches will have very diverse requirements regarding quality and hygiene, the feeding hoppers are available in a variety of materials and surface finishes. After opening the lid to the feeding hopper, the aspiration process of the interior starts, thus preventing dust from escaping while the product is poured in. Depending on the requirements, dust filtration can be implemented either via an attached individual filter with built-in filter cleaning or via a central filter station. To assist discharge of bulk materials with poor flow properties, the feeding hoppers have been fitted with rappers, vibrators, bin activators or
