Big bag installations

Big bag installation

A big bag installation is a sequence of coordinated steps: hanging, filling, weighing, release and removal. WEIGHTEC SYSTEMS modernizes its control so the cycle runs reliably and each batch is traceable.

Managing the whole cycle

The value of an installation lies in a smooth cycle. Delays often come from poor coordination between the filling device, the weighing scale and the bag handling, rather than from a single defective component.

  • Sequencing of hanging, filling and release
  • Control of the filling device in coarse and fine mode
  • Automatic or assisted bag release
  • Consistent cycle time across operators

Control and traceability

WEIGHTEC SYSTEMS rebuilds the control with Siemens PLCs and Siemens weighing modules. We keep the reusable mechanics, modernize the control/electronics, and at project end the programs, backups and documents are handed over to the client.

  • Recording of weight, date and batch reference
  • Alarms for overweight, underweight and faults
  • Exchange of data with supervision or ERP
  • Historical records for quality follow-up

Integration with your process

A big bag installation rarely works alone. It is fed upstream and emptied downstream, and its data often belongs in a production report. We design the interface accordingly.

  • Connection to upstream feeding and downstream removal
  • Communication with production supervision
  • Operator screens adapted to the workflow
  • Training on the new sequences

Frequently asked questions

What does a big bag installation modernization cover?

Control, weighing electronics, cycle management and data exchange, while reusing sound mechanics.

Can you add traceability to an existing installation?

Yes, the modernized control can record each filled big bag.

Will the cycle time improve?

Yes, better coordination and clear diagnostics typically shorten the cycle.
