What Maintenance Problems Can Occur With Big Bag Filling Systems?

A Bulk Bag or FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) filling system will save you time and increase your throughput dramatically. However, even the most well made machine needs maintenance.

If executed correctly and timeously, it’s a small price to pay for enjoying a well-functioning system. Let's discuss what you should focus on to keep your system in tip-top shape.

You can prevent many problems by following the manufacturer’s recommendations and system’s manual. It will tell you how it should and shouldn’t be used and what it can and can’t fill. Make sure that only trained workers clean, operate and maintain it to prevent further issues from occurring.

Before seeking help from your system’s manufacturer, remember that the system’s manual can troubleshoot common issues. Making sure the system is powered off before you begin, you can try turning certain components on and off (or disconnecting and reconnecting them) to see if any connections need adjusting.
