Customer data

Company
Agro Vandelanotte SA

Robbe Industries has installed a bigbag filling installation at Agro Vandelanotte SA, a company that is specialized in drying bulk material. The company is busy with an expansion and for the development of a new type of product, they want to fill the bigbags with dried flakes as quickly as possible.

Together with the customer, we analyzed which type of bigbag filling station was the most appropriate for this application. The filling machine will be installed in an environment with a risk of explosion, i.e. ATEX Zone22. Of course, this is an extra challenge for Robbe Industries.

Moreover, it is necessary to lift the bigbag completely and to vibrate it, during the weighing. This results in tightly filled bigbags that are solid and stable enough to be stacked on pallets. This way, the filled bigbags can thoroughly be manipulated and transported by the means of forklifts.

In order to make the job of the operator a bit more ergonomical, the machine is provided with a frame that is adjustable in the height. Moreover, the suspension hooks of the bigbags move forward automatically during the hanging of the bigbag. After pressing the start button, the machine operates completely automatically with regard to the filling of the bigbags. As soon as the bigbag is ready, the integrated roller conveyor can be moved on to the roller conveyor.

In no time the silo can be transferred to the bigbags. This way they are ready for transport and can be transported to the customer!

The controller functions with Siemens S7-1200 PLC and is completely executed by Robbe Industries. Via an intuitiveand user-friendly touchscreen program (HMI) the machine can easily be operated.

The bigbag filling installation was calibrated by Robbe Industries as AWI dispensing machine R61 X(1).
