Tote Filling & Super Sack Handling Systems

Traditional tote or super sack filling systems are labor intensive, dangerous and difficult to automate.  Re-usable totes are heavy and often need to be purged. Super sacks and totes can be processed faster and safer with an automated system.   EPIC will integrate a “hands free” tote or super sack filling line with varying degrees of operator interface. Our tote filling systems, which come with a line-rate guarantee, include:

• Tote/Super Sack Handling–  Complete conveyor systems to index the tote to the filling station, in proper fill position, with pressure testing before fill
• Tote/Super Sack Filling–Correct filling technology researched and provided (speed and sanitary requirements understood), sub surface filling, high speed filling, automated dribble feed for accuracy
• Automatic Intermediate Bulk Container Filling (IBC Filler System) – Liquid filling of IBC containers
• Finished Tote Inspection– Cap detection, fill level inspection, code dating and label placement and inspection
• Cap removal/ replacement – Torque to proper specification
• Leak Pressure Testing
• Hazardous fumes/ chemicals purging
• Full Tote/Super sack Handling– Provide conveying systems to transport tote to final location
• Lift assist – fully or semi-automated lift assists to transfer full super sacks & totes for line operators
• Palletizing– Palletizing drums/pails, stretch wrapping, pallet labeling, full pallet check weighing
