Why use a Bulk Bag Filler?
Bulk bag fillers, also known as a bulk bag loader, provide the support and control needed for safe, consistent filling of bulk bags, commonly called FIBCs. By securely positioning the bag and managing material flow during filling, they help achieve accurate fill weights, improve bag stability, reduce product waste, and simplify handling for operators. Properly filled, stable bags can also use warehouse and transportation space more efficiently, helping reduce storage and shipping costs.

Models
Options
Venturi Bag Inflation System
Pre-inflates the empty bulk bag to remove folds and creases, helping the bag fully expand before material enters and maximizing usable bag capacity.
Available on NT & HD
Frame-Mounted Powered Roller Conveyor
Moves filled bags away from the filling position to support higher-throughput and more continuous filling operations.
Available on HD
Densification Deck
Gently vibrates the bag as it fills to settle material, promote a fuller square-bottom shape, and improve the stability of the filled bag.
Available on NT & HD
Drum Filler
Configures the filling system to accommodate drums in addition to bulk bags, providing flexibility for operations that fill multiple container types.
Available on NT & HD
Gain-in-Weight System
Uses four frame-mounted load cells to continuously measure the weight of material entering the bag for accurate filling to a target weight.
Available on NT & HD
Tension-Style Load Cells
Weighs the bag from the suspension points for accurate hang weighing and allows the filler to be relocated without requiring load-cell recalibration.
Available on HD
Adjustable Carriage
Adjust the filler to accommodate different bulk bag heights with up to 30 inches of vertical travel. Available in manual hand crank or motorized.

-
What is a bulk bag filler?
A bulk bag filler, sometimes called a bulk bag filling machine, is equipment used to support and fill bulk bags with powders, granules, pellets, and other dry bulk materials. Depending on the application, a filler can incorporate weighing, bag inflation, densification, dust control, and automated bag handling.
-
How does a bulk bag filler work?
The empty bulk bag is secured to the filler and positioned beneath the material inlet. Material is then fed into the bag while the filler supports the bag and, depending on the configuration, monitors weight, manages material flow, densifies the product, or assists with bag handling. Once the target fill is reached, the bag is disconnected and removed for storage or transport.
-
How accurate is a bulk bag filler?
Fill accuracy is determined by the weighing and control system used with the bulk bag filler. Hapman systems use load cells and controls to monitor bag weight and manage material flow from upstream equipment, with configurations capable of achieving approximately ±10 lb. to ±1% or better, depending on the application
-
What size bulk bags can a Hapman Bulk Bag Filler handle?
Hapman Bulk Bag Fillers accommodate bulk bags ranging from 35″ x 35″ x 36″ tall to 48″ x 48″ x 96″ tall. Custom designs are available for applications requiring bag sizes outside this standard range.
-
Can a bulk bag filler help reduce dust during filling?
Yes. Bulk bag fillers can be configured with features that help contain dust at the fill point. The appropriate dust-control approach depends on the material, bag design, and filling process.
-
Can a Bulk Bag Filler be integrated with a conveyor or feeder?
Yes. Bulk bag fillers can be supplied as standalone equipment or integrated with upstream conveying and feeding equipment. Hapman can integrate Bulk Bag Fillers with equipment such as flexible screw, tubular drag, and vacuum conveyors, along with controls for managing material delivery and the filling process.
-
What information is needed to select a bulk bag filler?
Selecting the right bulk bag filler starts with your material characteristics, bulk density, bag dimensions, target fill weight, required throughput, available space, and desired level of automation. Hapman uses these application details to determine the appropriate filler model and configuration.
