Achieve faster, cleaner and more accurate packaging with the ILERBAG HF

Manufacturers handling fine granular products, powders and low-granulometry materials face unique packaging challenges. Product loss, dust generation, inconsistent filling and bag sealing failures can all reduce efficiency and increase operational costs.

The ILERBAG HF High-Speed FFS Bagging Machine from TMI has been specifically engineered to overcome these challenges. Designed for high-volume industrial environments, the ILERBAG HF delivers accurate, dust-controlled packaging of fine free-flowing granular products in plastic bags formed directly from tubular film. With production capacities of up to 1,000 bags per hour, it provides an efficient solution for food, chemical, petrochemical and agricultural processing facilities.

What is the ILERBAG HF?

The ILERBAG HF is a fully automated Form Fill Seal (FFS) bagging machine designed for very fine free-flowing products, including materials with particle sizes as small as 100 to 200 microns. The machine forms bags from a tubular reel, accurately doses product, seals the bag and prepares it for downstream handling with minimal operator intervention.

Its advanced engineering enables reliable operation even when handling difficult products that typically generate dust or require highly precise dosing.

Designed for fine granular products

Many conventional bagging systems struggle with lightweight powders and fine granules. The ILERBAG HF has been developed specifically to package products such as:

Food Industry Products

• Flour
• Sugar
• Semolina
• Starches
• Milk powder
• Cocoa powder
• Legumes
• Nuts
• Food ingredients and additives

Agricultural Products

• Seeds
• Cereals
• Animal feed
• Pet food
• Premixes
• Feed additives

Chemical and Petrochemical Products

• PVC resin
• Plastic pellets
• Fine chemical powders
• Petrochemical granules
• Specialty compounds

This versatility makes the ILERBAG HF suitable for a wide range of manufacturing and processing facilities.

Key benefits of the ILERBAG HF

High-speed production

With output capacities of up to 1,000 bags per hour, manufacturers can significantly increase throughput while maintaining consistent product quality.

Maximum dosing accuracy

Accurate filling is critical for both profitability and compliance. The ILERBAG HF delivers highly consistent dosing performance, helping minimise giveaway and improve inventory control.

Dust-free filling process

Dust generation can create safety concerns, housekeeping challenges and product loss. The machine incorporates advanced product handling and dust management technologies to maintain a cleaner working environment and improve product recovery.

Reliable bag sealing

The system incorporates a corner impulse sealing system with patented cooling technology, helping ensure strong, consistent seals and reducing the risk of product contamination or leakage during transport and storage.

Reduced operating costs

Energy-efficient design features include regenerative braking systems and lightweight 3D-printed moving components that reduce power consumption while maintaining performance.

Minimal maintenance requirements

The machine’s robust construction, long-life components and open-frame design provide easy access for cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime and supporting long-term reliability.

Advanced features for modern manufacturing

The ILERBAG HF incorporates a range of technologies that improve packaging performance:

• Patented film unwinding and guiding system
• High-efficiency cyclone dust recovery system
• Automated machine adjustments
• Recipe management by product and bag format
• Precise product flow control
• User-friendly operator interface
• Compact footprint for easier plant integration
• Accessibility-focused design for maintenance and cleaning

These features enable manufacturers to achieve consistent packaging quality while simplifying machine operation.

Customisation options for specific applications

Every production facility has unique requirements. The ILERBAG HF can be configured with a range of options including:

• Integrated bag labelling and marking systems
• Product compaction systems
• Air extraction before sealing
• Flexible discharge hoppers
• Stainless steel construction
• Hygienic food-grade finishes
• Fully enclosed chassis
• High-capacity bag magazines
• ATEX-certified configurations for hazardous environments
• Mobile platform options

These customisation possibilities allow the machine to be adapted to specific product characteristics, regulatory requirements and production objectives.

Why choose an FFS Bagging Machine?

Form Fill Seal technology offers several advantages over pre-made bag systems:

• Lower packaging material costs
• Reduced storage requirements for empty bags
• Greater automation
• Improved production efficiency
• Consistent bag quality
• Reduced labour requirements

For manufacturers processing high volumes of granular or powdered products, FFS bagging systems can significantly improve operational performance while reducing total packaging costs.

Optimising packaging performance for fine granular products

Packaging very fine materials requires specialised equipment capable of controlling product flow, minimising dust generation and ensuring accurate filling. The ILERBAG HF has been developed specifically for these demanding applications, combining high production speeds with reliable dosing, superior sealing performance and advanced dust control technologies.

Whether packaging PVC resin, food ingredients, animal feed additives or specialty chemical products, the ILERBAG HF provides manufacturers with a dependable, high-performance bagging solution designed for modern production environments.
