FILLING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

A filler material packing system for packing a granular or fragmental filler material in a bag-shaped hollow surface material includes a suction-type packing container, and means for delivering the filler material. The packing container has an inner space. At least a part of the surface material is air-permeable, and the surface material is positioned in the inner space. The packing container has a suction port and an entry port that are connected to the inner space. The filler material is delivered to the inside of the surface material positioned in the inner space of the packing container by the filler material delivering means. The filler material delivering means includes a cylindrical stirring container having a lid, a sidewall and a bottom wall. The stirring container has a stirring vane positioned on the bottom wall. Air vent holes and an outlet port are provided in an upper part of the sidewall. The filler material delivering means further includes means for connecting between the outlet port of the stirring container and the entry port of the packing container and then connecting between the inside of the surface material positioned in the inner space of the packing container and the entry port thereof. The filler material delivering means further includes a pumping source connected to the inner space of the packing container through a suction port of the packing container.
