General Measure Technology Co. Ltd. (China) - Press Release: General Measure AF-50K Granular Bagging Scale: An Advanced Weighing Solution for Fertilizer Packaging

In fertilizer manufacturing, equipment must deliver consistent performance under demanding conditions. The General Measure AF-50K bagging scale is a fully upgraded granular weigh filler developed to meet the strict requirements of fertilizer packaging, offering high throughput, precise weighing, and dependable long-term operation.

Purpose-built for granular fertilizer materials, the AF-50K combines reinforced protection, an improved mechanical layout, and enhanced adaptive weighing algorithms. This integrated design allows stable, accurate performance even in environments characterized by dust, corrosion, and heavy-duty workloads.

Designed for Fertilizer Applications: Enhanced Protection and Extended Durability

To meet the challenges of chemical and fertilizer plants, the AF-50K is constructed entirely from stainless steel and finished with a blasted surface. This significantly improves resistance to corrosion while minimizing wear in harsh production environments. Critical components are carefully shielded to prevent damage from dust, moisture, and foreign particles, helping reduce downtime and maintenance frequency.

Key protection features include:

• Full stainless-steel body with blasted surface treatment for improved corrosion resistance
• Oil-sealed gearbox design to increase protection level and operational stability
• Protective covers for the load cell, motor, and solenoid valve
• Dedicated cable-entry structure to prevent dust and debris from entering the system

Structural Optimization for High-Speed, Stable Material Feeding

Granular fertilizers present unique flow behaviors that require precise handling. The AF-50K addresses this with a specially engineered feeding hopper that promotes smooth, fast, and consistent material flow. Additionally, the load cell connection has been structurally refined by optimizing its floating direction, ensuring reliable weighing performance even during high-speed operation.

Structural advantages include:

• Specially designed feeding hopper for stable and high-speed material delivery

• Optimized load cell connection to maintain stability during rapid filling (maximum speed: 1500 pcs/min)

• Dust-proof film protection for the load cell, improving protection without affecting weighing accuracy (best accuracy: ±10 g)

Intelligent Weighing Control for Accuracy and Efficiency

The AF-50K is equipped with the General Measure weighing controller and an upgraded adaptive weighing algorithm. This system continuously responds to changes in material flow, enabling fast adjustment, precise control, and stable accuracy throughout the packing process—even at high production rates.

Algorithm-related benefits include:

• Advanced adaptive weighing algorithm for fast, accurate, and stable operation
• Designed to handle variations in material characteristics
• Suitable for continuous, high-efficiency fertilizer bagging lines

Performance Parameters

The AF-50K is engineered to deliver an effective balance between speed and precision, satisfying the requirements of modern fertilizer packaging operations:

• Weighing range: 10–50 kg
• Accuracy range: 10–25 g
• Maximum speed: up to 1500 bags per hour

This performance profile allows fertilizer producers to maintain high output while preserving consistent weighing accuracy during continuous production.

Optional Configurations for Enhanced Versatility

To further improve flexibility and operational control, the AF-50K can be configured with optional components specifically designed for fertilizer packaging environments.

Infeeding Pipe

Designed to support stable operation and simplify maintenance, the infeeding pipe provides:

• A buffering function to maintain continuous and stable material flow during packaging
• The ability to cut off material flow, allowing safe and efficient maintenance of the bagging scale
• An observation window for real-time monitoring of material conditions

Bag Clamp

Developed for secure bag handling in dusty, high-load environments, the bag clamp features:

• Gear-surface structure for strong and stable gripping force
• Adjustable opening to accommodate bagging scales of various sizes
• Non-contact proximity switch control for reliable operation
• Integrated dust-removal design to prevent dust intrusion and maintain long-term stability

A Reliable Bagging Solution for Fertilizer Manufacturers

With its robust construction, comprehensive protective design, and intelligent control system, the General Measure AF-50K bagging scale establishes a high standard for granular fertilizer packaging. It is an optimal choice for manufacturers aiming to increase productivity, improve weighing accuracy, and ensure long-term reliability in demanding industrial settings.
