Bulk Bag Filling Made Simple: How Telford Smith Bagging Stations Improve Plant Efficiency And Safety
📦 Smarter bagging starts here - engineered solutions for plastic recyclers, reprocessors, and manufacturers.
✅ What Is a Bulk Bag Filling Station?
A bulk bag filling station, also known as a bagging station, is designed to efficiently and safely fill large flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs). These systems streamline packaging, reduce dust, and improve operator safety.
Telford Smith bagging stations are engineered to adapt to your plant’s workflow — and are built tough in Australia for industrial conditions.

👷 Designed for Operators, Built for Safety
Operators simply:
- Attach the empty bag straps to the hooks
- Connect the bag spout to the filling chute through the use of our custom bag clamp
- Initiate the filling cycle
- Remove the filled bag via forklift
Optional pneumatic shakers ensure material settles during the fill process, helping achieve fuller bags with consistent density.
🌬️ Cyclone Separator & Pre-Cleaner Integration
Dust and impurities can cause big problems. That’s why our stations optionally include:
- Cyclone Separators: Remove light impurities before packaging
- Pre-Cleaners: Separate dust and fines through the innovative use of airflow
These systems are especially beneficial in high-volume operations dealing with light material like plastic flake or powder.
