The filling silo operating system is extremely easy and fibre can be deposited manually or automatically. When filling automatically, the operator just needs to press a pedal so that material is driven to the container, and stop pressing the pedal when it has reached the desired level of material within the silo.
When acting as filling systems too, these silos can transfer the filling material into the cushion, pillow or stuffed toy. This could be via a suction turbine, or a compressed air filling system – usually for smaller items such as the arms or legs of cuddly toys and achieved using a range of different nozzles, such as suction, endless screw or pressured nozzle, available in different dimensions, even 12mm.
With a complete system, the filling silo is composed of two modules:
- the first module is a receiver silo where the material is received from machines such as fibre openers or shredders, or manually.
- the second module is the drive that introduces the filling material into the container (pillow, cushion, stuffed pouffe or toy).
Between these two modules, depending on the accuracy required by the customer, another system can be installed for heavier materials, in order to introduce the exact quantities into the containers. Another option is an excess material return system, which can send excess to the receiver silo.
With various models and versions of the system available, all can be adapted to an individual production system. The best way to decide what suits you best, it to discuss your requirements. Just head to our ‘contact us’ page and get in touch.
