Heavy-Duty Bulk Weighing and Filling for Grain, Seed, Powder, and Pellet Products
Engineered for the Future | Since 2080
The ADDAMS Big Bag Filling and Weighing System – On-Ground Type is an advanced bulk packaging solution engineered for accurate, fast, and dust-free filling of jumbo bags (FIBCs) ranging from 500 kg to 2,000 kg. Designed to sit directly on the ground, this system offers maximum stability, ease of loading, and enhanced operator safety without the need for elevated platforms.
Ideal for use in grain terminals, seed processing plants, flour mills, and bulk export operations, this system ensures high-throughput performance with precision load cell-based weighing and rugged structural support.
Big Bag Filling – On-Ground Type Overview
Stable and Accessible Bulk Packaging
The ADDAMS On-Ground series is designed for facilities where floor-level stability and ease of access are the primary concerns. By placing the weighing platform directly on the factory floor, the system eliminates the risks associated with elevated structures and allows for straightforward maintenance and bag handling.
Reliable Performance for Heavy-Duty Industrial Use
This system is built to withstand the rigorous demands of 24/7 industrial environments. Whether you are filling heavy minerals or fine food powders, the robust frame and high-capacity load cells ensure consistent performance and commercial-grade weight accuracy.
Operating Principle of the On-Ground Filling System
Direct Floor-Level Weighing and Filling
The process begins with the operator attaching the FIBC loops to the adjustable hooks at a comfortable working height. Once the bag is secured and the inflatable neck is sealed, the feeding system initiates the flow. The bags rest on a reinforced ground platform or an integrated scale, allowing the load cells to measure the weight accurately as the bag fills from the bottom up.
Precision Material Flow Control
The system utilizes automated gates or feeders that communicate directly with the PLC. As the bag reaches its target weight, the system slows the flow to a “dribble feed” for final precision, ensuring that the bag is filled to the exact specification before the hooks are released.
Key Features of the ADDAMS Big Bag Filling System
-
On-Ground Operation: Bags rest directly on a reinforced platform; no pit or complex foundation is required, simplifying installation.

Frequently Asked Questions – Big Bag Filling
Does this system require a special foundation or pit?
No. The On-Ground Type is designed to be installed directly on a flat, reinforced concrete floor, which significantly reduces installation costs and time.
Can it handle different sizes of Big Bags?
Yes. The support frame is height-adjustable, allowing it to accommodate various FIBC heights and widths, from small 500 kg bags to large 2,000 kg jumbo bags.
How is the dust controlled during the filling of powders?
We use a specialized inflatable neck seal that creates a completely airtight connection with the bag’s inlet. This, combined with an optional dust extraction port, keeps the workspace clean.
Is the weighing system digital?
Yes. It features a high-precision digital controller or a PLC-based HMI where you can set your target weights and monitor the filling process in real-time.
How are the bags removed once they are full?
Since the bag rests on the ground (or a low-profile pallet), it can be easily removed using a standard forklift or a pallet jack once the hooks are released.
Is there a version for food-grade products?
Absolutely. We offer versions constructed entirely from AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel to meet the strictest hygiene standards in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
