IBF-600 Top-Up Upgrade

In today’s competitive environment and the ever increasing demand to get the best out of existing packaging equipment. Customers who have existing GEA Avapac packaging equipment can enhance the performance and functionality of their plants by carrying out upgrades.

Upgrading your existing packaging equipment can be a very cost effective alternative to replacing entire units or systems.

GEA Avapac has developed a new “twin auger” design Top-Up upgrade which will increase the packaging output capacity of an existing 6 tonne/hr IBF-600 Bag Filler to 8 tonne/hr. That’s an increase in output of more than 30%.
The GEA Avapac’s twin auger design Top-Up upgrade is functionally the same as on our current IBF-800 Bag Filler, the upgrade combines the tried and proven Top-Up design, retro-fitted into an existing Bag Filler.

  • Twin auger design, one for the Coarse, one for the Fine Top-Up   
  • Both Top-Up augers have individually controlled variable speed drives
