The BFC Series weighing/batching system features bag activators that raise and lower the opposite bottom edges of a bag at timed intervals, loosening compacted materials and promoting material flow. Each discharger is equipped with a surge hopper that discharges into an enclosed flexible screw conveyor. A controller starts and stops the conveyors to weigh ingredients in sequence, first at a high feed rate for rapid filling, then at a dribble, stopping flow when the desired weight has been discharged. The controller then activates a rotary airlock valve to release the batch into a pneumatic conveyor line, which terminates at a filter receiver above a ribbon blender. Components are made from carbon or stainless steel.
