WÖHWA big bag loading controls semi-automatic filling of big bags, big packs and similar containers. The operator enters the target quantity and starts the process; the control system then manages material flow to the defined target weight.
The operator enters the required target quantity on the operator panel. This setpoint forms the basis for the semi-automatic loading process.
After starting, the conveying equipment and belt feeder start in a defined sequence. Material flow is routed to the big bag in a controlled manner.
The integrated belt scale measures loading weight during the ongoing process, keeping filling traceable and controllable.
The control system calculates the appropriate stopping point and accounts for material in flight within the system to reliably achieve the specified target quantity.
A guided sequence allows the belt scale to be zeroed for accurate loading results. The plant is emptied and prepared in a controlled manner.
Individual drives such as the belt feeder or belt conveyors can be switched on and off selectively in maintenance mode. This supports maintenance, inspection and commissioning.
Big bag loading is built as a project-specific control cabinet and control system solution. The PLC, input and output modules, power components and safety components are designed to suit the loading process.
The belt feeder, belt scale and belt conveyors work together during loading. The belt scale measures weight during filling and provides the basis for controlled loading completion.
The operator panel and control stations allow operators to enter target quantities, start or stop loading and check plant status. Notifications are displayed clearly and understandably.
Emergency stops, motor protection, speed monitors, material monitoring, pull-wire switches and other safety devices can be integrated into the control system to monitor operation reliably.
Start times, run-on times, zero-setting times, belt feeder speed and other parameters are set to suit the plant. Implementation includes visualisation, EPLAN documentation and commissioning.
Big bags and big packs can be filled to specified target quantities, making the loading process repeatable and easier to plan.
The belt scale measures loading weight during the ongoing process, keeping filling traceable and controllable.
The operator panel and control stations guide operators clearly through the sequence. Target quantity, plant status and notifications are directly visible.
Conveying equipment, belt feeder and weight measurement work together in a defined sequence, reducing manual intervention during loading.
The control system calculates the appropriate stopping point and accounts for material in flight within the system to reliably achieve the required fill quantity.
Individual drives can be operated selectively in maintenance mode, making plant inspection, maintenance and commissioning easier.

The WÖHWA Automation Center optimises processes across industries, providing efficient, seamless material flows from raw material extraction to data analysis.
