Blend metal powders evenly inside a stainless steel intermediate bulk container.
Prevent powder bridging, rat holing, or segregation with a cone valve that is integrated into the bottom of each IBC container!
Stainless steel intermediate bulk containers and IBC blending systems are a special type of custom blending equipment that are widely used in various industries for their durability and functionality in bulk powder processing. These containers are designed to store and transport large volumes of powders, liquids, and granules in a safe and secure manner.
These types of powder blending systems are constructed using high-quality finished stainless steel, making them strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-clean. They are available in various sizes and shapes and can be custom designed to fit specific metal powder handling requirements. Stainless steel IBC containers and systems are a popular choice for industries that require powder mixing solutions for the bulk processing of powders, such as powder metallurgy, chemical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, toll blending, and food industries.
A v-shaped belt conveyor cradles or holds open top bags upright as they travel through an industrial bag sewing machine or band heat sealer. They can also be called v-trough conveyors or v-belt stand up bag closing conveyors.

In this hi-speed big bag filling system, raw sugar is unloaded from big bags, or bulk tote bags, conveyed to a vibratory screen where it is separated into 3 fractions and one waste fraction, and then re-packaged into big bags.
Tinsley Equipment Company recently performed a test run for a new feed producer that was interested in bagging horse pellets into 25 lb bags.
These type of supplement horse pellets were made of coastal hay and measured about ¼-1/2” in diameter and about 1 inch long. The producer farms different types of coastal hay and Bermuda grasses and wanted to learn more about the bagging and packaging process.
Horse pellets (or hay pellets) used for feed supplement
To run the test, Tinsley Equipment Company set up a 25 cubic foot bagger supply hopper, a digital gross weigh bagging machine with a pneumatic bag clamp, a temporary box platform under the scale to support the filled bag, and then a table for manual bag top folder over and handheld sewing. Closed bags were manually transported and stacked on pallets resting on a truck trailer. Finished pallets were manually wrapped and secured to the trailer before transporting them to a feed store for final sale.
An Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) System is used to prepare a homogeneous dry blend of base polymers and additives before the extrusion phase in a plastic compounding process. Plastic compounding and toll processing companies first use an IBC system to create a lab formulation or test to confirm final product characteristics before creating a masterbatch. Once a final product has been confirmed, the same IBC system is used to create a larger batch or production run.
IBC is easily transported by forklift to other discharge stations
This type of set up using an Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) System is also known as a decoupled system because ingredients can be moved, mixed, and blended independently inside the IBCs.
The recent installation of an electrostatic coating system on a popped chip manufacturing line again demonstrated several benefits to the customer. The customer has different flavorings they apply to the popped chips which makes change over a challenge. The simplicity of the new system made operation and maintenance much simpler and quicker than the previous system.

The Newlong Bag Sewing Machine DS-9C high-speed industrial sewing head is a popular choice for businesses seeking to improve their bag closing operations. In this article, we will explore the key features of the Newlong DS-9C, how it works in conjunction with a power infeed system, and the benefits it brings to bag closing processes.
The video below shows a pallet stacking robot stacking 50 lb. paper valve bags onto a pallet located on the floor per the programmed bag placement design. This robot was added to an existing bag filling system to reduce labor costs and increase automation.
This system is used for bagging salt into 40 Lb. poly bags. It includes a hopper, net weigh bagging machine, band sealer, and manual bag stacking station with pallet wrapper machine.
A co-op in Iowa replaced their existing bagging machine with a high-speed net-weigher used to fill 50Lb craft paper bags with cracked corn and pelleted feeds.
High-speed bagging machine added to existing packaging system
This cooperative grinds approximately 50,000+ bushels of corn per day at all of their feed mills. They primarily supply swine feed, but also produce cattle feed and dairy feed.
The bagging system shown in the video below allows one operator to use 3 valve bag filling machines, or air pressure packers, to fill 50 lb. bags of fertilizer at a rate of 15-18 bags per minute.
