Abstract: A bulk bag filling apparatus comprises a first support member having an upper end and a lower end and being oriented in a generally vertical direction; a second support member connected to said generally vertical member and extending at an angle to said generally vertical direction; a filling head for engagement with an opening of the bulk bag, wherein the filling head is connected to and supported by the second support member; a bulk bag support structure for engagement with support elements of the bulk bag, wherein the bulk bag support structure is connected to and supported by the second support member; and a hang-weighing mechanism for weighing the contents of the bulk bag, wherein the bulk bag support structure is connected to said second support member through said hang-weighing mechanism. The hang-weighing apparatus includes one or two load-bearing points at which the bulk bag support structure applies a load to the hang-weighing apparatus.

Abstract: A vibrating table assembly for an apparatus for filling and weighing bulk bags comprises a bag support table, a vibrating device for vibrating the bag support table, and a lifting device for raising an lowering the bag support table, the lifting device being located below the bag support table. Preferably, the lifting device comprises a convoluted air bellows. Location of the lifting device below the table overcomes problems encountered with known bag filling apparatus where the bag support table and the lifting mechanism are connected to the frame of the apparatus.
