Inline & Rotary air packers

Solutions for dry mortar and

adhesive products
In more than 50 years of activity FLSmidth
Ventomatic SpA has manufactured and
installed, all over the world, thousands of
packing lines becoming one of the leading
suppliers for cement and dry mortar
producers.

The air type filling units are

normally used for dry mortar and
adhesive products as they have
special features which are the
state-of-the-art to cope with the
products characteristic, such as:

Beside the traditional packers with vertical

or horizontal shaft impeller (mainly suitable
for fine products) with granulometry up to
3 mm (Horizontal shaft) and up to 8.000
Blaine (Vertical shaft), since more than 15
years FLSmidth Ventomatic can provide airtype packers which are designed specifically
to cope with the special requirements
of the dry mortar and adhesive industry,
where normally the products have a wider
granulometry range.

- To cover a range of produc t s

having the size of the grain up to
10mm or more (depending on the
granulometry distribution curve);
- To ensure a proper product handling
preserving the material physical
characteristic;
- To have less parts subject to wearing.

FLSmidth Ventomatic
packers variety
include LINEAMAT P inline air packers
from 1 to 4 spouts for low-medium capacity
and GIROMAT GE P rotary packers, from
4 to 10 spouts for high capacity. Additional
equipments can also be provided for a
complete automatic packing and dispatching
line such as empty bag handling, bag
treating systems, spillage recovery system
and palletizers with stretch hood.

Main technical features:

- Each filling unit has a special belltype valve controlling precisely the
product flow: a tight closing is
reached thanks to its accurate
positioning ensured by a precise
guiding system;
- The fluidification points of the
filling unit can be independently
set according to the material
characteristic;

LINEAMAT P air packers

- 3-position pneumatically controlled

pinch valve with coarse and fine
filling for high capacity and
high weight accuracy;
- Automatic cleaning and discharging
system (for rotary packer) to change
the product quickly with minimal
contamination;
- Spouts with inflateable rubber ring
to minimize the product spillage.
- State-of-the-art ultrasonic sealing
system.
A wide range of different bag sizes
can be easily handled throughout the
whole packing and dispatching line
thanks to automatic devices that are
adjusted by recipe.

The inline air packer is available with 1-4

spouts suitable for low-medium capacity
packing plants.

Different solutions are also available

for spillage recovery with belt or screw
conveyor underneath the packer and
with bucket elevator or pneumatic
system to bring back the product into
the packer.

Network

All filling units on the rotary packer

are connected to a data network
CANBUS. Through the unique FLSmidth
Ventomatic optical connection system,
all the weighing units are also connected

It consists of infra-red optical

communication system specially
developed for high speed data
communication in heavy industrial

VENTODIGIT electronic weighing unit

to the absolute encoder for tracking their

angular position and to the operator
panel. The operator panel, and the
remote control system VENTOLINK III,
receive in real time the complete status

of each bag filling unit and also its weighing

performance. Furthermore, all filling units
can be completely programmed from the
operator panel.

FLSmidth Ventomatic SpA has been a pioneer in manufacturing electronic packers

since 1980, and with our VENTODIGIT III,
Ventomatic has achieved the objective

environments. It is 100% dust proof

and not sensitive to any kind of
vibrations or EMC noise. Furthermore,
there is no mechanical wear.

of introducing a new all-in-one electronic unit.

The new weighing unit is based on
the vast experience gained from our

packer installations worldwide. Every filling

spout is controlled by the new electronic
weighing unit.
