Dublin, Ireland based Gem Pack Foods Ltd is both a Contract Packer and provider of an extensive range of own brand ‘Gem' and ‘Gem Gourmet' products - several of which are simply repacked from bulk supplies but many of which are proprietary mixes. Their key ingredients are sugar, in various forms from granulated to fine icing grades, rice and corn flour. To keep abreast with growth in demand, Gem Pack Foods decided to have these key ingredients delivered in 1 ton Bulk Bags (FIBC's) rather than 55 lb bags - to take advantage of all the well documented benefits of bulk supplies. They required a means to discharge this variety of products from the Bulk Bags and to deliver each of them, in the correct condition, to the appropriate feed point of their ‘Fawema' packing machine. This packing machine has 2 feed points, one requires product be delivered at a metered feed rate and the other has it's own auger to regulate the flow from a mass transfer system. Only one feed point can be in operation at any time. Either way, product fed to the packing head has to have a consistent flow and has to be de-aerated within specified tolerances.
