Packer

This device gently vibrates bulk-shipping containers, such as flexible bags and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), to increase the bulk density of their contents and improve efficiency in packaging, material handling, and warehouse operations. It applies linear vibration from underneath the bulk container, which creates a fluidizing action that densifies the material by removing air from in between the particles, while protecting particle integrity, shape, and size. The packer, which accommodates loads up to 4,500 lb, is suitable for compacting food, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, mineral, metal, plastic, and other powdered, granular, and pelletized materials. Options include a variable-speed drive to adjust vibration speed and a roller deck that permits the bulk containers to be easily rolled onto and off of the platform. In addition, the packer can be mounted directly to a scale platform to combine weighing and densifying in a single unit.
