Why Is Weight Accuracy Important In Big Bag Filling?

No matter what type of powdered product you’re selling, you’re responsible for each package weighing what it’s supposed to weigh. This is important when you’re filling FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) Big Bags. Rechecking the weight of filled Big Bags can be impractical or challenging — which means that you need to get it right the first time.

Accurate weighing shows clients that you value the quality of their product and that they can trust you, while repeated inconsistency could alienate loyal customers. Accuracy will also help reduce product giveaway. This loss can be hard to visualise when dealing with powdered products but over time even minor amounts can add up in value.

Because of the size of most Big Bags and the nature of powdered products, you’ll need the right filling system to do the weighing for you. Here’s how these systems work as well as the weighing accuracy you can expect from them.

To understand weighing accuracy, you must first understand how Big Bag filling systems handle weight. Most systems use gravimetric weighing via an electronic scale and load cells.
