A simultaneous fill and gross weighing machine, the FKP-10 model is an efficient fluidizing bagger with an integrated product chamber that delivers superior product handling and scale weight accuracy. The FKP-10 pneumatic-type baggers from First Klas have an automatic start option which is activated when a bag is placed on the fill spout, which allows the bag clamp to come down and automatically start the bagger.

Our high performance air baggers can also accommodate an optional automatic bag discharge, which facilitates the automatic release of the bag from the machine onto a conveyor once it’s full. The FKP-10 model can also be modified so that the bagger will dispense the product by using various spouts, or it can be equipped with air alleviating spouts.

First Klas FKP-10 air baggers are available with many options, including versions with replaceable liner spouts. We can help you customize your air bagger with stainless steel facings to accommodate corrosive materials or food products, or with a dust hood to suit individual requirements.

For your added convenience, our pneumatic-type baggers can be further equipped with an electronic scale option, or with a distinctive finish that makes it suitable for corrosive or wash down environments. At First Klas, we can also supply you with top-quality replacement parts for most types of bag filling equipment and commercial packers, including pneumatic baggers.

FK-6 Auger Bagger

  • Hard Facing for Filling Screw

  • Stainless Steel Facings

  • Electronic Scale

  • Variable Speed Drive

  • Distinctive Finishes Available

A simultaneous fill and gross weighing machine, our FK-6 valve bag filler features a proven, dependable design that makes it versatile, economical, and easy-to-operate. This high- performance auger bagger can easily be gravity fed from your product supply bin or blender.

As the product enters the machine’s bagger it passes through an agitator section and into the auger, which then conveys the product into a drum, bag, or pail. Once the product load reaches a preset weight, the FK-6 bagger automatically stops the flow of the product.

Motor Controls

Our FK-6 features a heavy-duty, 3 HP TEFC drive motor (5 HP optional). Mounted in a NEMA 12 enclosure at the rear of the bagger, standard motor controls include a transformer for 120 V/ 1 ph power to the operator controls. All wiring and components on the FK-6 are NEMA 12 rated.

Scale & Weighing Mechanism

Supported by flexure plates, the weighing portion of the FK-6 bagger includes a fill spout and bag support. The machine’s standard mechanical scale features a rugged, single-beam design that includes two inverted pivots. This allows the operator to easily adjust the bag’s weight by simply turning the counterweight support screw located at the front of the bagger. A sliding counterweight-type fine weight adjustment is also positioned within easy reach of the operator.
