Sports Sand - Fast FFS Bagging Machine

Hugh King has established themselves in 1853 as a coal and sand merchant but later redefined themselves as a leading supplier of sports sand. This sand is currently being used at all the Open Championship Golf venues in Scotland, in addition to over 100 regional courses.

The company's products have also been utilised in the construction of the pitches at Hampden, Celtic Park and Ibrox Stadium. Hugh King & Co Ltd have since been acquired by Tillicoultry Quarries, providing yet more support and backing as they prepare for a new challenge in a growing UK market.

When production capacity could not keep up with market demand, Hugh King commissioned Webster Griffin to help increase their bagging output and take the packing line to the next level of automation. They required their dried silica sand to be packed into 25 kg bags at a throughput of at least 700 bags an hour.

After analysing Hugh Kings requirements, Webster Griffin proposed the installation of the following systems and equipment: One Velocity Form Fill Seal bagging machine with Ropex sealing system.
