Flexible Automation for Pre-made bag filling and closing.
IGF Systems
Concetti's IGF range of bag placers embodies the result of many year's experience. Flexible, reliable and easy to use, the IGF range can handle pack sizes from 2 to 50kg with speeds up to 1500 bags/hr, depending on the material being packed. Using gross or net weighing with gravity, belt or screw feed systems, the fully enclosed monobloc housing provides clean, compact, safe and consistent bag filling and closing.
Self-adjusting features make product changeovers quick and simple. Flat or gusseted bags made from paper, coated paper, PE or woven PP can be handled and bag closure can be from simple sewing through to heat sealing, reactivation of pre-applied glue, or any combination of these.
The range
Four basic units make up the range. The IGF 600, 900 1200 and 1500 designations indicate the maximum output in bags/hr and covers most applications. The modular design allows Concetti's engineers to tailor each machine to the customer's specific application.
The actual output will depend upon the material being handled and would be confirmed at the proposal stage after material samples are received.

Applications
Concetti's IGF technology is ideal for many different industries and virtually any application where pre-made bags need to be filled automatically. Industries where Concetti have particularly wide experience include food, animal feedstuffs, pet food, building products and chemicals. Even products like bitumen can be packed on the IGF machine.
