Packing head systems are engineered for use in the pharmaceutical, food and chemical processing industries. Available in four configurations as outlined below, our packing heads are an integral part of dust free packaging systems for powders and granules. Suitable for drums, bags, boxes and bulk containers, the unique, patented packing head provides a sealed connection between the filling device and container for safe, dust-free, hygienic transfer of product. The action of the inflatable packing head seal is illustrated below.
Displaced air and nuisance dust are extracted through built in vent ports that can be piped to existing dust collection systems. During filling nitrogen can also be introduced through the vent ports for inerting. The inflatable section is made of natural rubber or other FDA approved materials and can be mounted on a fixed or portable support frame.
Packing Head Types:
- PH Outward Inflatable packing head for bags (see above image)
- DS Downward Inflatable packing head for drums without liners
- DSs Downward Inflatable with pneumatic raise and lower attachment for drums with varying height
- IS Inward Inflatable for sealing bags to straight pipes (see above image)
Features

- Easy cleaning and maintenance
Options:
- Quick release fittings
- CIP wash down plate with drain
- Portable or fixed support frames
- Inert gas purging
Packing head systems can also be integrated into fill/weigh systems complete with a patented pinch valve assembly to ensure accurate filling and weighing. When filling a drum/box or an IBC, the valve is fully open. After reaching a programmed setpoint, the pinch valve slowly closes, allowing the system to enter into a "double fill" until the desired weight is achieved.
