The 4213 PressureMatic is designed to fill valve type bags with dry free-flowing granular products such as pelleted or prill fertilizers, granular herbicides, granular aggregates, seeds, plastic pellets and similar materials.
How it Works:
The 4213 PressureMatic consists of a pressure chamber with an inlet butterfly valve, a discharge spout that fits the valve bag inlet, a positive displacement blower (in most cases) to generate adequate air volume, and controls to direct the airflow according to the product type. When a bag is placed on the spout, a fill cycle is initiated. The butterfly inlet valve will close, trapping product in the pressure chamber. Air generated by the blower is directed primarily into the top of the chamber. Air passes through the product and as it flows out the spout, carrying product along with it into the bag. Once the bag achieves the filled weight, a cross pinch valve closes to prevent product from passing out the spout. The air pressure is relieved, and the butterfly valve opens again to recharge the pressure chamber for the next fill. The filled bag is discharged, and the cycle can be repeated.

Performance:
- Fill Rates: up to (10) 50 lb. bags per minute
- Fill Weights: 20 lbs. to 110 lbs.
